They've had it for decades, your blood and genetics are being used currently to test new ways to make the gentile weak and sick. Who do you think gets all the blood after a hospital finishes its labs? Or when you piss in a cup for a drug test? It was all given to them on a "platter" at the moment of your birth in the hospital.

No. Blue light is easier to see in the dark. Often they are just too bright, and the source is just too tiny which causes almost painful glare. They are usually also more directional, which results in more shadow. You may also be a lottle bit nearsighted, about one diopter is basically invisible in daylight, but it can greatly reduce your vision in the dark, easily by a factor of 16.

If humans evolved intelligence, isn't it inevitable for other species to evolve intelligence too? And if they're inevitable, shouldn't we breed another intelligent species ourselves before evolution does on its own so that it doesn't misalign with human interests?

how do we know some humans aren't already secretly breeding and selecting non-human beings for intelligence and creating their own natural intelligence bioweapons? Shouldn't governments regulare selective breeding to create intelligent beings for the danger they could pose to our democracies?

when did you realize that AI replacing mathematicians is going to mean marxist wordcel academics in the humanities will get to say

this is despite the fact that programs have been capable of replacing marxist wordcel slop for a long time before even LLMs but because the total lack of standards in the humanities except ideological adherence and belonging to an approved identity group they can just reject any work they find convenient.gg

Their "work" is 100000x easier to replicate for an AI than a unique theorem.

>>17033928
It’s not easier. Human beings are going to be super biased against AI because they see it as a threat to their social standing. The objectivity of STEM is both its greatest strength and, as it turns out, its greatest weakness, because human mathematicians cannot say that an AI’s proofs do not count because it lacks a soul or some bullshit. But in the humanities, it’s all subjective, so these Marxists are going to be so dishonest and gatekeep the fuck out of their fields.

Well yes, but actually no. Actually seeing it through an eyepiece is an incomparable experience. Actually physically seeing such extraordinary celestial objects and having the faintest notion of their grandeur... it's a religious experience. And to sensitive minds hyper-addictive. The addiction grows into a cosmic romance that deepens with time as the night sky becomes a familiar landscape and beautiful experiences grow on beautiful experiences. This is the passion of amateur and professional astronomers alike and it is glorious.

This passion permeates the other sciences too, and any other subject. Want to learn about something? Seek out those who love it the most passionately, who give it the greatest devotion.

People like OP don't give a shit about the night sky, the universe, or anything about astronomy whatsoever. They have zero investment and treat the entire subject with the greatest nihilistic regard. The only thing to say to them is: Fuck off, you don't actually care. Come back once you've used a telescope.

>>17033846
Magnus also achieved pretty highly in the Norwegian Poker Championship. He can also recognise tons of specific historical chess games just by seeing the board positions. He's absolutely a genius, you have to be to be world-leading in something competitive like this. Like how Olympic swimmers need to have the specific natural physique of a long body but short legs. Sure, you can obviously swim without that, but to be on par with the best in the world where the gap between competitors is on the order of 0.1 seconds you can't cut it against the people who do have that advantage over you.

I have found a way to divide anything in my head.

So far, in fact, that i can get to the end of a calculator and can even prove, by showing my work, that the last digit in a division problem is either rounded up and down, depending on if it goes that far and doesnt go repeating and goes to the last number.

Can someone explain to me his "proof"? You need to prove that AB(C) is the same as A(BC), but he just does his transformations in order C, B, A, instead of doing C, and then AB or BC and then A

>but he just does his transformations in order C, B, A, instead of doing C, and then AB or BC and then A
Yes. That is the point.
(AB)C is doing C, and then B and then A.
A(BC) is doing C and then B, and then A.
In either case you're doing exactly the same trio in exactly the same order. The only difference is which step you associate B with.

Is maneuvering not an option? Would we not have equipment sensitive enough to detect small fast objects like that and course correct very slightly far ahead of time?
What about interception with high powered lasers? Kinetic solutions? Angled ERA? Spinning very long wires?
Or just brute forcing with a hollowed out asteroid(s)?
How thick would lead/water need to protect the crew from radiation?

Its a good thing too.
Humanity in its current state is unfit to travel past the solar system. We would drag all our dregs along and they would destroy, pollute, and exhaust anything we found. Humans would be like locusts among the stars.
Currently only a vanishingly small fraction of all Humanity is fit to exist as a space faring species. Only if that small fraction became the absolute sum total of all Humanity would it be ethical and feasible to travel among the stars.

I think it is the last known star to pass extremely close to our solar system was Scholz's Star, a dim binary system consisting of a red dwarf and a brown dwarf.

It grazed the outer edge of the Oort Cloud about 70,000 years ago, coming within roughly 0.8 light-years (52,000 astronomical units) of the Sun.

It would disturb some icy cometary bodies towards our sun.
