Are zoomers actually lower IQ or did we just knee cap an entire generation of boys' education?

You get stuck in your habits when you give up actually learning something, and just memorize some process that works. You know it works, but you don't know why, so you can't change it in any way without breaking it.

You can't ponder if you're using the faucet correctly, or why you're drinking water, every single time, as it would suck up your (finite) brain capacity that needs to be used on something else, and it also means that you just haven't found satisfactory answars. (yes, the process appears to be adaptive)

Boomer were brain damaged, but zoomers are much worse.

There is a negative g-loading of reproductive success across all populations. In addition, global migration patterns go from low-IQ populations to higher-IQ populations, accelerating the decline there. Educational optimism and enlightenment values will not fix this.

The world-class computer scientist Scott Aaronson says AI has solved MASSIVE longstanding open problems in computer science, but AI companies are spooked to release them, mainly because of the reaction to Navier-Stokes.

https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=10062

Be straight with me, anons, how much danger are we in? This looks really dicey.

>Accepting the reality of the coming machine god after it’s solved Navier-Stokes and dozens of other longstanding open math problems (while dramatically ramping up in capability every month), is sort of like accepting Jesus after he’s returned to earth on the gleaming cloud.

*Copenhagen interpretation
It has been completely flipped in an absurd way. Its presented as a serious way to explain or visualize quantum superposition to the public, completely flipping Schrödinger's original intent. Shows like the Big Bang theory popularized this, but also mainstream physics did.
Bohmian Mechanics is the completion of this problem. Its the real deal. But mainstream physicists hate it because its imcompatible with relativity. Well Well if only Lorentz had developed an aet*er theory that would have an absolute time...... That would fit really nicely since its equivalent to SR.

You do not understand the math, so you keep babbling about whatever vaguery your gut feelings tell you about the existence of algorithms that "nobody tried to find". The reality of the situation is you are filtered by the math and only grew infatuated with BM because you like pretty pictures. (Or "metaphysics" lmfao).
You don't even understand that people HAVE looked into coupled trajectory descriptions of QM because classical and semiclassical approximations and their corrections are a thing.
You are just a retard that 1) doesn't know the math to make arguments beyond conjecture and gut feelings and 2) don't even know the literature of the field you talk about.

Roads built according all the standarts and properly maintained will last for decades without any patholes. Even in shitty climates like russia.
It's just that a corruption has a place and road construction companies neglect everything we know about the construction technologies. Often use a low quality asphalt. It's often done on a purpose to make more on road repairs in the future.

What is your problem? The virus is alive and thriving in much of the world. They only count the wild strains to claim it's close to eradication, when it clearly isn't.

The vaccine was made that way, it was a weak virus that was meant to spread to the unvaccinated kids. But, those countries still have rickets for mysterious reasons. Perhaps rickets never was the lack of sun, or vitamin D, but a different form of polio.

do you think those fuckers at pic rel are not smart?

dude you have no idea

there's one of them that ALWAYS fucking ALWAYS appears at the bakery store just when they release from time to time the special chocolate croissant on weekends

And the fucking brainfulllet never misses one day it is always the same, ALWAYS

When I arrive at the bakery store and ask for the special chocolate croissant they tell me "oh today we made some but THAT man bought them too"

ALWAYS

One time they told me that the dude came the day BEFORE the planned to release the special chocolate croissant and told them "UMA UMA UMA UMA" so the manager replied "Tomorrow?" and he smiled laughted and left

THE FUCKER KNEW BEFORE THEY RELEASED IT !? HOW JUST HOW

It is my conclusion that these creatures can see the timelines just like YWHACH from Bleach

I don't know about "naturally" but if they're religious a good deal of their lifestyle revolves around trying to find loopholes in their holy book so they could fool YHWH and do the things he's telling them not to do in roundabout ways. I don't know about muh highly valued education but it sure is a lawyer-minded culture.

Google may have cracked Recursive Self-Improvement (agents that can automate their own research). In 1965, I. J. Good predicted exactly this moment would come. Initially he thought it would bring benefits to humanity, but in 1998 he reversed his position, believing humanity could not control an intelligence explosion and would likely go extinct. We are about to find out which of the two outcomes is correct.

Humans suck at coding. Nothing new.
What is new is that we trained a logistic regression smoothing algorithm to find the “average” of all that code thinking the errors have mean zero or some other bullshit. It’s the 361 billion dimensional central limit theorem and we’re hand-waving the smoothness details a tad.

That doesn't look like stramonium to me, mine has zero purple in the flowers. It could be a fancy cultvar or something. I grow this stuff because I like the flowers and the cool fruits, and it does smell really good, like it's something you should eat. Almost like a freah green pepper. I haven't been retarded enough to eat any of it, if OP had eaten that much d. stramonium he'd definitely be suffering elevated body temperature and risking permanent nerve damage. Brugmansia is super cool too, and smells great at night, but it's definitely not as toxic as datura so OP got lucky this time.

The market assumes a value for the dollar which is not eroding with any purchase, despite a system of trade underneath it all.

Nature is far from a system of infinite trade, which means you lose every time consumers get any amount of comfortable. People will acclimate any moment it is possible, you cannot incentivize infinite acquisition.

A common theme in nightmares among many people is of taking exams and failing. These nightmares also happen even when you're long past the age of taking exams. Another common theme is being naked in public settings while everyone else is clothed.

What is the explanation of these synchronicities? Have there been studies on this? Do you have more examples?
