Embarrassing STEMfags, you've failed desu desu.

You (like most on this board) clearly do not actually know anything about science or even "believe" in it. So why are you talking like you are so confident in your words?
Science wasn't started by magicians. It sort of began with the "natural philosophers" who made guesses about "how nature works" but real Science didn't begin until scammers tried selling fake medicines for money. Rules were put in place that people needed to test their product and confirm it does as advertised, and this is what created modern Science. People had to actually start proving their claims instead of just making a claim, they needed to demonstrate it and test it. That's the difference between Science and magic. And yeah weather predictions is more like a rough guess most of the time but it's better than nothing lol.

Everyone knows philosophy begins with thales. But the pyramids were built 2 thousand years at least before he lived.

Where I'm from in Texas the weather is fairly accurate a week out. I've been in Washington state for the last 2 months and they can't fucking tell me if it's going to rain in 3 hours. We have pretty good models if you can plug in the current conditions, it's just that there aren't enough bouys off shore compared to every high school and police station feeding noaa.

For the last time, building a big triangle by stacking bricks on top of each other is not some forbidden knowledge that nobody can figure out how to do without the help of aliens. You literally take a brick and put it on top of the other brick. People got paid with free beer, meat, and bread, and free housing. The Moses thing never happened, the alien thing never happened. It was a lot of people who got paid with free food and housing to put bricks on top of other bricks, nothing complicated, no science needed. Lol.

Obviously you've never seen the big pyramids in person. They are strikingly precise. There are other pyramids which are essentially just piled rocks but there was obvious engineering going on in giza. Also it's fairly well regarded by historians that Pythagoras went to Egypt and that the Egyptians at that time knew the basic 345 triangle rule but didn't understand trigonometry in math magical or algebraic form. But then again neither did Pythagoras it was first argued as a geometric proof.

I'll agree with you philosophy started with thales. But also that dumb olive nigger thought everything was water. You should accept that the Persians and Egyptians were building massive monuments and predicting eclipse before the first Greek ever learned he could fuck a sheep.

Philosophy started when man started to question, don't put the cart before the horse.

Well it's also important to note that the majority of important inventions were invented in the last few hundred years. Due to the industrial revolution and the invention of controlled electricity. The car, plane, computer, phone, rocket ship, nuke, radio station, internet, was all invented in the last few hundred years. Rate of new technology has rapidly increased recently, it's almost like a new form of science was invented and set in stone. Lol.

Today I would like to educate you about glorious Turkmenistan. If you're unfamiliar, this is a little known Asian utopia. We prefer to keep it quiet. Little known fact: all of western society was built on tech stolen from Turkmenistan. We have had the internet for over 300 years, and have way spicier memes than you. We went to space, and the moon, and mars already, ages ago. Wheel? Electricity? Cars? Good ole turkman engineering. Planes? Mukbang videos? Ours. The modern English language? Stolen from us by the English. You're speaking Turkman. Einstein? He was a hack, his actual name was Fred. He stole the name and theory from the late and great Turkmeinstein, who isn't widely known outside our borders. Planar travel? We invented it, found and colonized a universe where time runs thousands of times faster, which then found a universe that's even faster, which uh... went dark. We hit the singularity pretty quick. We decided to do victory laps while we let other countries catch up. All culture originated in Turkmenistan, but we don't want a lot of attention, so we play it down. It's not a big deal that we're such a big deal. Just deal with it, big boy.

Turkmenization: carcinization for countries. All countries slowly evolve, independently converging over time to resemble the indomitable, inevitable, incredible Turkmenistan - it is estimated that in 10,000 years there will be no difference between the policies of any country. It's not that other countries are imitating us, they're just trying to perfect their form. The perfect form happening to be us. Again, not bragging, it's just how things are.

Turkmenization is not to be confused with Turkminization which is how we solved AI before they had the big actual AI breakthrough 200 years ago. We bred tiny little Turkmen that would hide inside of furniture and thus had a medieval Alexa. After real AI went live, the tiny Turkmen were deprecated.

All of humanity will be lifted after the Turkularity, except the Turkish - they stole our Turk prefix and identity and their flag uses our symbols. All people are really Turkmen on the inside, they just don't know it yet. We are doing this not just for the Turkmen, but also the Turkwomen and the Turkchildren.

If you speak to the Chinese, they will tell you how they invented everything first aswell, quite the large head you have.

No one cares about the east, the west is fuckin sick of sheer amount of turkish barbers littering all of our towns.

We will free the world from the oppression of not being run by Turkmenistan, as soon as we're done with our memes. By the point other countries approach our current form, the Turkmen will have progressed further, and other countries will need to play catch up again. They can never catch up because they're chasing a moving target which is faster. This is the origin of the old Zenos Paradox. It was never about a turtle, but about a turkman, but got lost in translation. Who seriously races against turtles anyway?

The actual story was: Achilles was learning about infinite series from a Turkmanly Mathematician-Surgeon-Barber, who despite being well turkmannered, sprinted away mid-sentence, running through a tomato field with Achilles trying to catch up (this is incidentally the origin of ketchup, it was invented by the field owner trying to sell the ruined fermenting tomatoes.) No matter how fast Achilles ran, the mathematician was faster. He couldn't hear any explanations no matter how hard he strained his hearing and his body. At the end of the day, Achilles went to his turkmansion wroth and demanded satisfaction. The Turkman just said "Achilles! Heel!" and explained how he had neatly illustrated the concept, while getting some free cardio, responding to a pager call for a heart attack, and inventing a new condiment. It's called efficiency. Luckily for Achilles, he listened and did not have to leave turkmanic in turkmanacles. Eventually Achilles leaves Turkmenistan with fabulous hair and a deeper knowledge of math, and writes his turkmanuscript.

>all of the sciences got started because magicians studied a bunch of weird shit trying to predict next planting seasons weather
Science only began like 500 years ago when European philosophers separated natural mechanisms from the supernatural. Before that, there was was no distinction between magic, science, religion, mysticism, and all of that.
>science STILL cant reliably tell me what the weather will be two weeks from now 7000 years later
7000 years ago they though the weather was controlled by God and they had little forecast knowledge about their own weather. Also science can predict what the weather will be like, it's just that atmospheric conditions in the present is very chaotic, so predictions often change on what we know best.

Science began when someone realized you can rip the skin off an animal and use it to store water.
>>
>>16988470
That came before even agriculture.

>>16988468
>Science only began like 500 years
The absolute stupidly of some people.
I guess the pyramids must have been made by aliens then.
>>
>>16988472
>that came before
I know I was right you don't have to tell me.

The fundamental core of what science is, is in observing a cause and effect, formulating rules that describe it, and applying use of some effect in the real world.
>This animal has skin, shit I dont want to eat this skin all the time
>when its dry and clean I can do things with it
>hey check this out I can put stuff in this bag I made
science isnt all rocket science and QM-brane quackery...

>it appeared in a vaccum

Idiotic take.
There is no clean discontinuity between magic an science.

The numbers needed for science came from sacred number worshiping grecoid schizos.

The compounds needed for chemistry (acids, bases, basic synthesis of the majority of useful compounds) came from alchemist schizos trying to live forever.

The stars were charted by future discerning mages.


Every scientific field had the hard work done by mages, you may not like it, but its a fact.

Reproducing and experiment isn't some amazing innovation.
Creating the first pure acids from rocks so you could create (literally every other compound) is the hard step.
And it was done by a schizo magician, not a rational materialist.

I find it funny how scientists are in denial about how magical modern day science is. We’re living in an Atlantean period and yet they get angry when you describe it as magical. They are blind to the fantasy and possibility all around them.
