there is so much you don't know. the tldr is you need batteries, metric and imperial shit tons, and there simply isn't enough mineral in the ground to make them all. (Plus it's toxic and mined by congolese child slaves)

There's probably a way to make a much heavier and less efficient battery with more common materials like salt-iron, but there isn't enough solar yet to justify the endeavor. The steps to fit solar into the grid are much simpler than fitting in hydrogen

Did you know that boys get worse grades because female teachers give them worse grades because they are boys and girls get higher grades because they are girls? That means that the reason why there is less male enrollment, it's because women give them worse grades and education in general because of their gender based bias.
We are truly in dark ages for science. And it will get worse over time

What's the rate of replenishment. How do you that just particular deposit just didn't have seepage from another deposit. Why hasn't the US repumped its old wells, the ones from a century ago? Oil could very well be abiotic but it won't change the supply and demand problem.

How do you know the oil wasn't already there and is now flowing into the barrel?
After all, oil in a barrel is a more natural state of things don't you agree? So the oil is very likely flowing into the barrel instead out of it.

Outdated teachers that could already be replaced with Youtube videos insist on DEI over merit no matter how much they know they are creating an incompetent workforce and I know exactly why. It is because fraud is everything these people are. They are fake humans and don’t even care a little bit about what is correct or incorrect. It’s only about conforming to the newest fad ideology, which is usually just verbal vomit. At what point do we stop trying to help them think critically and just force them to conform to the truth by manipulating and verbally abusing the shit of out them just as they do to us when they refuse to answer even a single fucking question honestly. We just let these faggots walk all over us, and they make it right to the top of all our schools and universities through intimidation. We are giant pussies when it comes to saying anything about race.
Realistically, can we develop a system using probability and statistics to predict their personalities? Where can I find statistical methods to apply to public figures based on the words they speak? Will we be able to use an AI on our phone to predict frauds and keep them out of STEM?

This photograph contains many of the smartest people in human history including Einstein, Planck, Dirac, etc, but even this crowd at its large size doesn't contain all the people who lived at the time who would normally considered among the smartest people who ever lived (e.g. Nikola Tesla was also alive at the time).
How many people alive today would you consider worthy of being referred to as arguably among the smartest who ever lived? I can't think of many.. how did so many geniuses live simultaneously at the time this photo was taken, when so few people of their caliber exist today?
Shouldn't the amount of exceptional genius be evenly spread throughout time? Is something holding us back in modern times that prevents us from achieving greatness?

IIT: A discussion on potential implications of AI used for synthetic biology.

AI can be used to help engineer organisms through an ability to better understand and design genetic frameworks. What are some implications of this? Here are some of my considerations -- some don't necessarily directly involve AI, but AI can make such things easier. :

Normie tier:
>Easier drug/biomaterial production through organisms with better optimized production pathways
>AI could help engineer organisms that react to their environment (like an organism that helps crop production by sending signals to plants in response to qualities of the soil)
>Engineering of organisms to help the climate (biofilters, plastic degradation) (gay)
>More GMO food, like lab grown meat (even gayer)

Schizo-tier:
>Nefarious actors could potentially get DNA data (like through hacking Ancestry.com) and creating a disease that targets a certain individual
>Potential organisms engineered to genocide people/crops/livestock (biowarefare)
>Organisms that interact with the microbiome to influence peoples emotions
>GMO Humans/Human chimeras
>Engineered neurons connected to a computer to make a living computer

Retarded-tier:
>Living bioclothing/accessories (potential moss-like organism that lives on peoples heads for baldies)
>Virus that spreads and inserts DNA into people to give them "neutral" qualities, like lactose-tolerance

Synthetic biology was the new hotness when I was grad school over a decade ago. AI is great for traditional drug discovery, but synbio has been a disappointment.
>>
>>16296724
Didn't SynBio fuck over the world with COVID? Pretty much all medicine and vitamin supplements are products of SynBio. Additionally, while the first use cases that come to mind are drug and food manufacturing, there could be more schzio developments that I would like to know more about. Who knows what the government is hiding from us currently. There are probably also a lot of things open to the public that could change the world that don't have a lot of attention.
>>
>>16296724
But you are right to avoid being hyped up from this new technology.

>Hype flourishes when disoriented, poorly informed populations want to believe in easy solutions to difficult problems

Also >another schizo implication:

Someone could design a bacteriophage that spreads and could remove an entire disease from the Earth. While not as mainstream in The West, Russia and other Eastern European countries have been researching and using bacteriophage therapy to treat infections. Someone could potentially make one that infects the human microbiome and fucks with how your gut bacteria interact with your emotions. Additionally, someone could create a bacteriophage that supercharges diseases such as the regular cold into something much worse.

It's over for mathematicians. RIP

There is nothing essential. Platonic essences are supplanted by existentialism. Numbers merely form one of many representations in mathematics, which in turn are merely one of many possible representations that humans haven’t touched yet cuz our brains haven’t been imaginative enough (yet). All of this, even numbers, require us to give them any meaning, and lack meaning outside of what we give it, as they are representations that intrinsically mean nothing
