🗑️ 🧵 Materialism =/= Science

When will you learn that materialism has nothing to do with science and is just a mentality that scientific nerds subscribe to look cool and clever? Science is all about gaining knowledge, Materialism is about adopting a narrow-minded view of reality and thus limiting knowledge, it is no different than religion, only this time it worship physicalism over God.

why is math infected with unfalsifiable nonsense? Is that why this board is called Science AND Math? Because modern math isn’t actually scientific?

When science uses the scientific method to write expert-guided political proscriptions, you sit your white ass down and listen. This is called being reality-informed.

Experts are what we need more of right now. Using science, their politics are inherently correct. Your opposition to an expert is inherently wrong and anti-science (a nazi position).

If 1/3=0.333333 and 2/3=0.666666 then how is 3/3=1 and not 0.99999? 0.3333333 and 0.66666666 and 0.9999999 are all recurring decimals which are said to never end.

Human population studies completely useless

They will put 30 humans from different genetics stocks for testing and claim everyone was identical

And they would be right because they use poor judgement of genes when testing!

Every study is the same, you cant find other kind of studies.

And nobody knows about this. Except people who actually are in the field of genetics.

Journalist: Lolololo, politics retard! Scientists use only greatest of methods! All science can be trusted

The problem is who tests, and for what.
Will we ever see a gene test of black man and white man versus chimp? No we will not.

I made mammal tree of life, rate?

You can see how apes are quite distant from predatory mammals yet apes do overlap with the beasts more than with supposed intelligence of sea-mammals who are about as distant as possible from a human being while still being within mammal tree

From this we could fathom that humans got intelligence by pure chance since others on the same tree branhces arent very bright

stupid question about integrals

What is the difference between an integral defined for [math]dP(x)[/math] and [math]P(x)dx [/math]?

I see both forms in probability contexts, my intuition is that the dP(x) is a more general definition based on measure theory but in "common" context is that the same as P(x)dx ?
