yes contrary to popular belief, men are slightly smarter than women (just a few points).
but also due to male variability, men are more overrepresented on the tail ends.

why do the laws of physics behave the way they do? what causes particles to interact in the ways that they do? why is the speed of light not any faster or slower? what is responsible for the basic rules of the universe? is there even an answer?

sorry if these questions are retarded

>>16502756
Cause-and-effect is a human concept, and when we ask questions like "why" about things that aren't driven by time-variant interactions, we're only making an analogy. So strictly speaking, there isn't an answer.

It is, however, possible to approach this problem from a different direction.
There's only one thing we can truly know: that we exist. Therefore, the laws of the universe must be such that they allow us to exist, otherwise we wouldn't. So in a manner of speaking, the universe is the way it is in order to allow us to exist and be conscious.

This line of reasoning also permits ontological mechanisms for explaining the existence of such a universe in the first place. Previously the anthropic principle, now cosmological natural selection.

There must be a direct cause for the being of all stars, this would be their genesis and how it happened. If not, if accidentalism, then we most certainly live in a simulation because the logic of star formation doesn't follow. Same for the universe.

Everything is just an idea, perception or whatever, you can't experience anything beyond perception...

Virginijus Šikšnys is a Lithuanian biochemist and a professor at Vilnius University. He is a chief scientist at the Vilnius University Institute of Biotechnology.
He developed gene editing method a month before Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier on the bottom, but unlike them Virginijus Šikšnys didn't get nobel Prize for his work.
Because these women had more tight connections with academic sphere and their work was not even reviewed but Šikšnys's work was rejected for no reason

>Since 2007 Šikšnys focused on mechanistic studies of CRISPR-Cas, the newly discovered bacterial antiviral systems, and was among the first to demonstrate programmable DNA cleavage by the Cas9 protein.
>According to Šikšnys, his article was not even considered as serious by the editor board of the academic journal and was not sent to the reviewers, therefore the time needed to be recognized as first was lost.
>Martin Schlak reported that Šikšnys submitted his article describing DNA cleavage by Cas9 to Cell Reports on 18 April 2012. After its rejection without peer review, he sent it to PNAS one month later, and it took several months for review and publication. In the meantime, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier had published their findings in Science where their findings were reviewed and accepted within two weeks.
Also after some time there was a report that shared some money from nobel prize, It looks like he was paid to keep quiet

Gravity acts radially inwards and this means the larger something is the more uniform it's shape should be because the matter is being compressed evenly at every point on its surface. So, the gravitational vectors on the surface all converge at a single point at the center of the object.

It's just some gay shit humans think about. Defining it exactly is like trying to decide if that little bump you feel just inside your butthole when you finger yourself is a chunk of poop, or in fact a pulsing and throbbing vein in the wall of your sphincter. If you think you can do that, then by all means go ahead, but is it really necessary?

People say "don't fuck your sister, it will ruin the genes" but actually it's the opposite, and in this post I will explain why.

Let's start with the conventional view. Genes can break because of mutations. However normally if we have one faulty gene copy, the other healthy gene copy can compensate. This situation is known as a recessive genetic disease. It's recessive because the healthy copy will "dominate" the unhealthy copy. Not all genetic diseases are recessive but it's the most common one.

Now imagine that your dad had one healthy gene G and a very rare broken gene g. Your mom had two healthy genes. Now there is a 50% chance you got your dads broken gene. But since you got a healthy one from your mom you are fine. Your little sister also had 50% chance of getting the broken gene, but she will be fine either way for the same reason. Together, it's a 25% chance you both have a broken gene.

If you either of you have a kid with a non-relative then its overwhelmingly likely that your kids will get a healthy gene from the non-relative. But if you have kids with each other, that's when problems arise. The kid may get one broken copy from you and one from your sister, leading to a sick child.

Now imagine there is not one such broken gene but several. Suddenly there may be big risk of issues.

So as promised let's turn this on its head.

Consider again what happens in the above scenario. The broken gene is masked which lets it proliferate.

But now imagine yourself fucking your cute sister. If the healthy genes combine then the broken gene has been eliminated! Success! If the broken genes are combined and the child has issues, then the child will be less able to pass the broken gene on! Partial success! However it may still happen that a child gets one broken and one healthy gene. This means that although the bad gene is selected against, it still has some chance of slipping through.

This is why fucking your sister leads to better genes in the long term!

Yes, it would help motivate some things in elementary algebra. I remember wondering in middle school
>"why are we taking the slope of lines if this only works on affine functions"
and nonaffine functions were basically a complete mystery to me
In addition, I think early math education should also spend way more time on logic, set theory, and the basics of writing proofs. That's more important than memorizing the times tables
>>
A lot of students struggle with the intuition behind limits when they hit calculus, which is a problem not just for the usual reason that you need good intuition to do math well, but also because most students at that level struggle even harder with the formal definition, so if they don't have the intuition, they have nothing. Perhaps this could be remedied by introducing limits earlier. Not covering them in full detail, just getting an idea for how they can be used in simple problems.
>>
middle school is filler math because kids still dont have developed minds and cant handle algebra.
>>
>>16502107
The majority of human beings have zero aptitude for mathematics on a level which demands they even learn calculus in the first place. They will have little use for it and even if they do learn it, such a path will only serve to introduce more unworthy, low iq/ambition midwits/normalfags to academia. This needs to be avoided at all costs. We need to gatekeep academia FAR more than we currently do, not improve mathematics education for a populace whose general uses for it will be nearly nonexistent in life, practically speaking anyways.

If anything we ought to not teach anything above arithmetic on the standardized level. Innovate on finding the brightest, most talented students and invest heavily in opportunities for them to thrive. Let the rest be satisfied with what will actually assist their daily lives, and focus on more practical/societally useful things. Unless your child is above an IQ of roughly 115-120, he has zero right to demand taxpayer dollars teach him fucking calculus as a 12 year old. That is simply absurd.
