Why do people even need money to achieve scientific feats like going to Mars or curing cancer? It's not like money magically makes a Rocket appearance, we obviously have the ability to make anything we want and have more than enough resources and technology to do it. The Egyptians didn't need 100 trillion dollars to build the pyramids they just did it, the Chinese were able to build the wall without worrying about money, they just did it.

Exactly, it's like why does everyone hate communism when that's what we're all striving for. Everyone's looking for new ways that they can make AI make money for them or something so they don't have to work, it's like no one wants to work and wants to find ways to not work and have money for whatever they want and in theory, if every person in the world accomplished that then that would in fact be a communist society.

that's not true, new skyscrapers go up all the time, massive cruise ships are constructed, larger than life bridges across massive expanses are built. We still do incredible things. It's just often not out of the goodness of our heart or some spiritual calling(and it never has been like that for the average worker). When there's some need for it and funding things get done. This has lead perhaps to a more sterile world where grand art projects and architecture play second fiddle to utilitarianism, however that is the nature of the industrialized world. Market forces reward projects for which there is great demand for and demand comes primarily from the middle class who hold the spending power, and the votes.

Nature takes care of that, natural instinct and desires, the desire to be cared and loved, to feel like you matter will repeat the cycle of life and death.
>>
>>16387433
Yes that is what I said nature is necessarily a prison, your instincts and desires are derived from your form and limitations, imprisonment is not just something people invented, it is an inherent property of nature. In the end of each cycle you will realize you didn't matter and your body will decompose to be eaten by something that is starting its cycle.

Well, there is the obese white woman + black man pairing stereotype, which also ties in with the idea that race mixing is mostly being done by the sort of person who has issues in the first place.

>>16382299
That is a theory.
>>
>>16384029
So that certainly suggests that outbreeding whites are self selecting for low quality genes, I'm curious then what the stereotypes from the second race category are, whether the asian women or black men are also lower or higher quality examples of their racial group

Please consider not doing this, it's gonna carry on the generation trauma which you suffer from (onto your own kids, nonetheless). Also, remember, your kids are the ones that will decide whether they take care of you in your old age, or throw you in a cruddy retirement home (and don't give me any "I plan on dying before then", because no you won't).

If a colony of modern humans (as in, more than enough of them to sustain a stable non-interbreeding population) were transported to a copy of Earth that is more or less identical to ours minus any existing human civilisation or technology, supplied with the collective knowledge of every technological advancement from fire to the modern day, how short a time could it take them to manufacture a single smartphone?
This is a theoretical situation where there's no infighting, cultural divisions, natural disasters, plagues or whatever to significantly hinder their work, and they aren't being forced to work unhealthy amounts of time every day.

For example, with the right knowledge of materials and how to use them it's possible to set up furnaces and basic smelting 'equipment' within a week, even a day with a lot of people working on them, but you won't exactly be able to make precision instruments immediately.

We have this discussion regularly.
Last time, it was estimated stone age to atomic age in 50 years, and the rest mostly as it evolved. That makes for 100 - 150 years.

Theres currently ATM entire countries of tens of millions of people that cannot feed themselves or manufacture anything.
As an example: Egypt.
Tell Egypt to manufacture smartphones, and to make the machines too. See how that goes.
>>
>>16384338
This, but the most important factor is there being enough people to necessitate smartphones in the first place.
>>
One immortal person could not do it even with a billion years to do so. Such project would require hundreds of machines, and you cant just build one and go build the other, as they would rot/rust, you need a large population to maintain machines as they are being built and a larger population to work and save money/resources to basically give it to the nerds as investment in the smartphone project so that they can work on that full time

If you look at the buttons on an ordinary pocket calculator there isnt a good reason why they can't be adjusted slightly for general purpose universal text input.

after the ability to input general text all that is missing is a pixelated display and a processor as beefy as a com 64-level processor

there isnt a good reason why all calculators are not as powerful as a TI calculator

there also isnt a super good reason why a TI calculator cant have a blackberry keyboard.

I saw this was done successfully in mice so I tried it on myself. Ofc this is the cheap version with mustard since I don't have 20+ bucks to spare for concentrated tartrazine.
But yea if some of you madlads wanna try this, just rub yellow food coloring in your skin and it should become see-through.
Works way better in mice due to their skin thickness and my crappy ingredient.

I’ve been extremely fatigued for about 3 weeks, often napping on average 3 hours a day. It’s very difficult to focus and this has effectively put a halt on my own Bible study.
I got a blood test and it turns out I have a vitamin B12 deficiency despite eating meat 4 times a week so there must be something depleting my levels.
Can anyone relate and how did you fix it if you did?

Just take an OTC sublingual supplement, a few drops under the tongue is all it takes. There are several possibilities as to why you became B-12 deficient but you need to correct this immediately and worry about that later. Since absorbtion issues occur in the gut the sublingual route bypasses this. After three months of using the supplement my serum levels went from very low ~112ng/l to off the high end scale >2000ng/l so my Dr. said to cut back from 5000mcg to 2000mcg and less often. The tingles in my hands and feet as well as the joint pain and brain fog are gone and I have more energy overall. I recommend doing the same for vitamin D.

Granted some things he says are true, but he will also tell you retarded garbage, like that exercising is for slaves and that it kills you.
He used to exercise and had a good amount of muscle, but he stopped and now he is becoming skinny fat. Pic rel.
