Why you can't dump trash into volcano and then maybe throw dynamite in a capsule to churn the lava so trash goes under or something

>Why you can't dump trash into volcano
You can try. If this one do not erupt, then his brother will do it, as revenge on stupid mortals.

Feel about the "libcuck"(I can't think of a better term) definition for the "human species"(homo sapiens)? That being anything capable of producing viable offspring with another human. Depending on who you talk to, even our brother species(neandrathals, denisovans, etc) will be included.

Should this particular criteria for inclusion into a species be applied universally or should a standardized difference in genetics be used instead?

Ok. So you tried to make some kind of argument based on a flawed analogy with the premise that wavelength is an objective way to talk about colors, as opposed to the labels humans assign to them. Since you now acknowledge the mapping between labels and colors is pretty iffy, maybe you can learn something from your own failed argument.

>inb4 your moronic 80 IQ monkey ass repeats that it didn't heckin' make the analogy, even though you're quoted as explicitly employing it to make your retarded point
>>
>>16862228
Applying fixed definitions to fluid realities is always going to fail.
>>
>>16867368
The accuracy of the analogy was not relevant to the argument being made.
When your IQ enters the triple digits, you understand the utility of parsing out the information as it's intended to be communicated rather than harping on irrelevant details.

I ask again: do you have a coherent point to make or are you going to continue hammering down on pedantry?

I'm a humanities person, and I want to learn to be more intelligent. My degree only focuses on pure memorization and repetition. But for me, an intelligent person is someone who can solve new and complex problems, even with incomplete information, and also learn from their mistakes. How can I learn to be that intelligent?

Do daily cognitive demanding activities, learn as must as possible, and try to be genuinely interested in any sort of knowledge despise how niche it may look in the surface. Playing chess often is a good example of some activity that may improve your cognitive problem-solving skills, focus, and even your lateral thinking to some sort. Other than this just try to avoid oxidative stress and unhealthy lifestyles that promote passiveness and lack of real stimulation.

Is retarded. Germany borders China in a system where Germany bordering China is completely defined in relationship to this self contained system instead of anything to do with the actual country of Germany.
Gödel's incompleteness shows any system or model needs axioms external to the system, meaning no model can ever describe everything.
It also means if you want to use the actual country of Germany in your system/model you have to introduce it as a reference somehow with formal definitions based on observations about the real Germany.
If x is y then santa is hitler.
x is defined as y.
Therefore santa is hitler.
This is "proof" that santa is hitler within the system I defined, it just doesn't mean anything.

Say something, retard. Making the statement self referential doesn't do anything except help confuse people like you and make it seem pretty in notation. It's effectively the same as making it rest on something tautological like if a=a then (false statement is true).

It clearly does. You simply got filtered. Read the wiki article or something or ask a chatbot to explain it to you.

>>16867339
>It clearly does.
Then say something about the clear subject, retard.
Why can't you say anything about the subject? Why even spend the time to post about a subject you're completely incapable of saying anything about?

Everything you call "living" is just a massive cope to disguise the fact that your biology is desperately trying to return to the inorganic state it crawled out of. You think you have a will to power or life goals but that's just a mask for the will to nothingness. You are essentially a complicated rock that unfortunately gained consciousness and is now taking a circuitous path back to being a rock. The science is clear that the inanimate existed before us and the only real drive is to restore that silence, meaning your entire existence is just a temporary glitchy detour toward the grave. The universe is indifferent, cosmic extinction is guaranteed, and when the heat death of the universe hits it will be like none of this ever happened, so stop deluding yourself that this life is anything other than a long pointless walk back to zero.

The dimensionality of the solution space increases exponentially in the number of roots (2^N, N = # of roots = degree of polynomial). Three starts the strain the ability of algebra to express itself, five is pure overload. Hyper-logarithm and hypo-exponentials did not offer a way out.

I'm more asking if there's any evidence linking male and female genitalia size with say length vs depth genetically.
I figure there must be something but it's probably complex and I wouldn't know where to start to unravel it.

If the science said that Dr. anon's penis was most compatible with his close relative and that's why he couldn't stop loving her silly then who are we o argue with the holy science.

I figure there must be something about nerve sensitivity, if you are both naturally more or less sensitive you'd likely balance each other's actions better.
