Why can't we do gene editing on babies?
This would eliminate so many diseases that plague humanity.
It's also the most likely cure to cancer.

Genetic Modification is less like mixing and matching Legos or computer parts and more like fucking around with the binary byte code of a giant spaghetti program without any access to documentation so you have to take notes along the way to figure out what certain code sequences do except whoever wrote the program is a huge fan of reusing code so a small change can spiral out into unintended consequences

That's Witten there in the middle. He's the guy that gave us M-theory which is the version of string theory everyone recognizes.

Not really. It was never particularly popular in academic circles. Most physicists don't really know string theory because it's too difficult and not useful to them, and neither believe it nor disbelieve it. In academia it has always been a niche area.
>pseudointelectuals believe cause it sounds cool and ubdermines traditional western believes so they push it on tv with creates more pseudointelectuals who think their smart for believing it.
Pseudointellectuals like (you) also believe they're smart for thinking string theory is le bad because some faggot like (((Weinstein))) told them so.

Belief is scientific. You can experiment with it.

Do you believe you have bad memory?

Replace the belief with something functional (not fantasy)
Don't jump to "I have perfect memory." That won't stick.
Use something grounded, like:

"My memory improves when I pay attention."
"I can remember what I choose to focus on."

This aligns with reality, so the mind accepts it.

Understand what's really happening
The belief is not truth, it's conditioning. You've practiced forgetting under a certain narrative. With different practice, the pattern changes. The brain is plastic; it rewires based on use.

Do you ever stop to think about how weird it is to be alive?
Like we just wake up in a huge floating rock one day out of nowhere.
Too many things need to be aligned for us to be here right now. It seems too improbable.

And don't mention the Anthropic principle because saying we only exist in universes that support live, in no way explains the reason why we actually exist or why we exist in this specific universe.

>>16966036
That doesn't answer at all the unlikelihood question.
The universe is estimated to have like 10^100 years in total.
If I assume the average of being alive to be 100 years then the probability that we're experiencing a time where I'm actually alive, and considering closed individualism is true, is naively 10^(-98).

>>16966197
that doesn't follow because you assume you are the only event that lives to be 100, there are tonnes of events that last similar time, if you included them all, then the probability plateaus close to one

YFW black body radiation require a lattice structure so stars have to be more than compressed gas. Physics and especially astrophysics has been fundamentally flawed for a century to the degree that we don't really know what temperature is. Dr. Pierre Marie Robitaille may just be the greatest living scientists. His revelations are going to change everything.

Lab tested physics is so back bros!

Lel. He debunks his own claims when it comes to trying to explain limb darkening.
If it was actually metallic, the edge of the Sun would be brighter, which it isn't.
So he conveniently adjusts his claim to say the top surface is a non-nonconducting solid hydrogen.
Oh yes, it definitely has to be solid and metallic, but also not metallic on top.

What he doesn't bother to think about is that this suggestion also fails.
He also doesn't do any quantize comparisons, because he would quickly see that having a lambertian radiator fails to match the profile observed in limb darkening.
And it doubly fails because limb darkening depends on the wavelength of light you observe it in.
It is stronger for blue wavelengths, which would not be the case if you had a solid back body lambertian radiation. So his idea doesn't work at even the most basic level. You need radiative transfer to explain limb darkening, which means it has to be gaseous.

Philosophy is lived even if it is not articulated or examined. Philosophers at the bare minimum are just verbal advocates for some of them.

I apologize if this isn't the right forum to discuss this, but I often come across videos of women lifting weights, and some people say that women have significantly more "upper body strength" than men, and so on. But how different are we really? Thank you.

No, foid.
Foids are more competitive over ultra long distances than in other athletic fields, largely due to self-healing properties of Estrogen, but they still fall well short of men

so are -forms just a generalization/rigorization of differentials or is it A interpretation of what they could also be?

please understand. they have severe autism. to them a row-vector and a column-vector require different names. one of them is called an n-form, while the other has some retarded name i cannot for the life of me recall. row-vector and column-vector are too self-explanatory and accessible to the public, so they instead introduce idiosyncratic, idiotic verbiage to alienate everyone and feel smart doing it.

What's the /sci/ opinion on both the African and Oceanian ghost hominids? I've seen the former being (reasonably) suggested as anything from heidelbergensis to archaic homo sapiens, meanwhile the latter is almost certainly something adjacent to homo erectus. Given that *some* mixing with the former potentially predated even the San split(It's found in all non-africans, and some studies have found it in the Khoisan and Pygmy) I really do wonder what traits it might have given us.
>>
lmao, the retard strikes again
>>
>>16965971
Given that modern NOVA1 does come from Africa, it seems that ghost hominids are branches that diverged by leaving regions with strong lead exposure and then got reintegrated when the modern NOVA1 emerged and leap-frogged social coordination.

Correct, Jesus says there is no male or female, only disciples of Christ, so you can not have bisexuality in a monosexual paradigm, engaging in sex is bad and abstinence is good.
