Why are there no more einsteins?

In the 21st century we have not had any field revolutionized by a new theory or new invention. There are zero iconic scientists in the past two decades. Ongoing projects in any domain keep getting delayed, or take much longer than anticipated. Also IQ has been declining, and school achievement standards have been decreasing. Even though more papers are being published than ever, scientific innovation seems to be slowing. In the first decades of both the 20th and 19th century science and tech moved faster.

Is humanity getting dumber?

The human race is in no danger of dying out. The only threat right now is to exponential economic growth.
>>
>>16929743
And the systems that stop functioning when the birth rate is 0.7 and the tax base turns into an unsupportable burden on the remaining young (which leads to even lower birth rates until people just start throwing every retiree into a meat grinder, because an inverted population pyramid means they can't vote away unsustainable benefits). It's an absolutely hilarious position for someone on the political left to take, as government gibs need to be supported by having the highest possible ratio of productive people to government dependents. A small government advocate can at least say that they'll make society less burdensome on the productive to mitigate the impact.

Women abdicating their basic biological role in exchange for economic freedom has been so absurdly erosive to society that getting rid of women's right to vote probably polls around 25% now. In the absence of that, automation needs to outpace the negative impacts of nobody having kids.

why is it so difficult to separate the c from co2? can't we just pull them apart somehow? then you have infinite carbon, which would be pretty broken, because everything is made of carbon

we already have electricity for that, im talking about electricity to take c out of the air instead of just preventing more of it from being added

>>16927465
What's the point if someone puts more co2 into the air for marginally less energy that you used to seperate them.
>>
Theres a process that can do methane->graphene. Can synth methane from atmosphere. Waste c02 from industry could be directed to sabatier and output graphene. Newer catalysts enhance the efficiency of that process.
Eventually graphene-perovskite solar panels->methane->graphene creates a circular industrial loop thats also a carbon sink.

I want to work through category theory for the working mathematician by Mac Lane and the followup book Sheaves in Geometry and Logic by Mac Lane. I have a PhD in pure math but I'm somewhat slow and not the brightest. I was looking for someone who would be interested in working through these books with me or someone who already knows the subjects and would be able to check my answers to the solutions. I intend to try to solve every exercise.

Seeing too many threads about category theory lately, so let's just get it all over with right here and now.

To everyone who doesn't like category theory, unload your genuine criticisms of the field related solely to the field itself, and set aside feelings about the actual people working in it.

(I work in Topos Theory btw. So remain chill Catfags)

>>16926057
American processed so much free energy for nuclear weapons back in the 50' and 60's they didn't know what to do with all the extra plutonium. So to help any other nation not stockpile free energy and weapons when the supply prices were low, they didn't invest in the technology of reprocessing.

>>16926391
0-360 are all natural numbers that represent the fraction of traversal around the circumference of a circle, the only pathetic thing is your nonexistence understanding of the unit circle and radial logic that lead you to be completely flummoxed by the fact that radial logic doesn't necessitate unlimited linear growth since it resets back to the origin orientation every 360 degrees.

there's only one true infinity, and everything else is merely reflecting its properties. every time you go "infinite infinities" it's just "reflection of reflections".

So infinity is just the absolute value of 1 which is why 1 actually equals .999...?

It's not even their 'ebonics' that bother me. They're just 'slower' in every single way.

Walk near one of them and even their walk is slow. Have you stood behind one of them as they put their groceries on the belt? It takes them forever. They usually have several of their demons touching strangers and being erratic.

And zero corrective behavior from their parents.
>>
>>16926182
If they really dont speak ebonics you wont be able to tell.

If they do its pretty easy because they still avoid certain phrases and use others more then white people or put emphasis on certain things the laugh alone usually gives them away.
