A study wanted to find out how well self-reported race matches with genetic ancestry in the USA. It took 2 million common genetic variants from 230,016 unrelated whole-genome sequences, making this study the biggest thus far in scale in this domain.

It found that broad continental categories like african and european are meaningless. Because within those categories there are meaningful subcontinental differences, for example, West-Central African vs. East African ancestry, and these can have different biological associations.

The authors claim that if we split races like white and black into finer sub-races we may be able to cure a lot of diseases. They also claim traditional racial categories were created for political reasons.

Autoclave

When I was in college I worked at a lab and my main job was to clean the glassware for the actual scientists. And I was fucking horrible at it. You should see my pots and pans right now. But no one ever once complained because the autoclave is magic. They complained about everything else I did. I used to much pinesol when I mopped. I didn't vaccume their foot cheese under their desks. I showed up 10 minutes late. But never once about the glass.

I've had a single sleep paralysis episode in my entire life when I was a teenager. I just woke up, realized I couldn't move, freaked out a bit trying to move then went back to sleep. But there were no hallucinations or anything. What, am I not cool enough to get my own sleep paralysis demon?

Not all people get visual hallucinations. I had 100+ sleep paralysis episodes and not once did I have a visual distortion. However, I often get audio hallus. Mostly is classical or electronic synth music, sometimes it's people talking in a kind-of coherent manner.

anging has been solved in unborn children, which means if you're minus 2 hours old you can become minus 5 hours young now.
in the meantime, elderly people keep on dying. my parents are dead and I'll soon be dead too because scientists are too busy to research aging on 60+ yo people

I’ve been lurking for a decade, but I have something worth sharing.

I’m a physicist (Rice Space Physics) working on my own framework called Axiomatic Physical Homeostasis (APH), which models how Earth’s magnetosphere "relaxes" into stable shapes after solar storms.

It occurred to me that Monte Carlo Path Tracing is doing it the hard way treating light like individual particles bouncing around. In plasma physics, we treat the field as a Stressed Fluid. I define a Geometric Stiffness (beta) for the vacuum and let it relax.

The Experiment:

- Seed: Shoot <1 ray per pixel (extremely noisy/stressed state).
- Relax: Run a matrix multiplication on Tensor Cores minimizing the Geometric Stress of the light field.

The Result:

The light field snaps into the correct global illumination almost instantly. It preserves temporal inertia (no noise when moving the camera) because the field has mass.

I’ve encrypted the whitepaper and put the Abstract/Proof on GitHub:

Standard real-time ray tracing relies on Monte Carlo integration, where convergence requires millions of samples per pixel. WTS-RT (Wolf-Toffoletto-Schutza Ray Tracing) treats the radiance field as a continuous fluid governed by symplectic geometry. Using the WTS Relaxation Method originally for magnetospheric plasma modeling—the global illumination problem becomes an energy minimization problem. This achieves stable global illumination with sparse inputs (<1 ray per pixel), offloading healing of the light field to Tensor Core operations and decoupling rendering time from scene complexity.

GitHub (Abstract + Encrypted Proof):

ITT we decide if we are destroying our brain cells by scrolling an iphone held about 8-10 inches from the face for any extended period of time.

>picks up the iphone 16 pro max
> opens an app
>boobs
>scrolls for 30 minutes
>gets dementia

many such cases or all just fearmongering?

In this image we see Dr Jack Kruse reference a study done on small rodents showing brain cell destruction after mobile device exposure

The idea is the EMF from the cell tower/phone wireless signal alters Calcium voltage potential so when toxin signal the endothelium receptors of their presence the BBB can not effectively constrict to prevent them entering the brain and there they damage cells by oxidation leading to their death.

Is the human anatomy functionally more resistant to this EMF so such exposures which typically occur daily will not suffer from this Ca voltage interference or not?

I mean, a lot of this is somewhat plausible, but still mostly speculation, unfortunately fuelled by schizo shit. It would take so long to gather data on this, that by the time we might say something meaningful, the consequences will already have taken a toll on our species. If it's a nothingburger, then it doesn't matter anyway.

A very large component of things like this, is that the human body's own self-regulatory mechanisms are extremely unappreciated in two ways. One is that it's far more potent than most people believe, in virtually every domain (insulin sensitivity/glucose metabolism, dopamine signalling, testosterone signalling and production, acetylcholine signalling, autophagy, calcium metabolism and exchange between blood/bones/teeth, etc.). Understanding homeostatic mechanisms and self-regulatory cycles, and how to make them function as intended through lifestyle choices, will most likely help most individuals to prevent long-term effects from these technologies from ever harming them. On the other hand, our way of life in most of the world as well as all these types of technologies (and especially micoplastics) completely disrupt these self-regulatory cycles, and very few people understand just how incredibly harmful that is.

I mean how stupid do you have to be to create a doomsday bomb, for basically free, and then hand it over to some basically random assholes who work for the government. I mean any person who's read a history book knows all government is corrupt and evil and seeks only power and only via violence. I mean what did he honestly think was going to happen? This retard built TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOMBS EVEN! WHY?! Like what the fuck was his problem with humanity?

135 IQ? More like 70! This retard got played like a rube at the county fair. He's a literal monster and the world would be a much better place had his mother aborted him in the womb. With out exaggeration he's one of the worst human beings to ever live. Unironically he's killed more people than all historic serial killers combined, and for what? He turned the world into a suicide cult that is likely to end the entire human race.

135 IQ? This fucktard is so stupid I'm shocked he could wipe his own ass and tie his own shoes.

>>16887700
But in the movie he was shagging a woman in front of another girl. The bar is high to be Oppenheimer.
>>
>>16887771

The case against him can be framed through these key points:
1. Creation of an Existential Threat
Oppenheimer is criticized for using his immense intellect to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and the practical mass slaughter of civilians. Critics argue that by successfully leading the Manhattan Project, he provided humanity with the means to destroy itself, a legacy that continues to loom over global security in 2026.
2. Complicity in Mass Civilian Casualties
While many scientists hesitated as the project neared completion, Oppenheimer served on the scientific committee that recommended the bomb be used against Japan as soon as possible.

Targeting: He did not significantly challenge the decision to drop the bombs on densely populated civilian centers like Hiroshima and Nagasaki rather than military-only targets.
Unapologetic Stance: He never issued a formal apology for the bombings. Even after the war, he stated his only regret was that the bomb was not finished in time to be used against Nazi Germany.

3. Ceding Ultimate Power to the State
Oppenheimer is accused of "casually" surrendering this unprecedented weapon to the U.S. government without securing meaningful safeguards or international controls beforehand.

Bureaucratic Subservience: By positioning himself as a loyal advisor to the state, he legitimized the government's total control over nuclear technology.
Belated Activism: Critics argue his post-war advocacy for arms control was "too little, too late"—a "crybaby" attempt (as President Truman called it) to absolve his conscience only after the damage was irreversible.

4. Moral Value Judgment
Opponents of his legacy suggest he made a catastrophic value judgment: that the advancement of science and immediate military goals outweighed the long-term survival of human civilization. In this view, he was not a "tragic hero" but a willing architect of a new, permanent state of terror.
