As a more of a humanities guy (I am utterly embarrased deep down to say that), is it normal to see those who exceed at STEM, especially math/physics as savants who should be.put on a pedestal and not i.e. writers, musicians, artists...the creative type which I think although they are cool, can be done by anyone? I am a writer myself and published 2 books by the age of 19, one fiction (novel) and one non-fiction (a bio), and made some decent money/fame through the years but I feel deep down I am not good enough to make an impact on the world like what scientists are doing. Essentially I was just bullshitting ("creative") and collecting information (the bio book).
Many people have patted me on the back when I tell them how insecure I am about my math ability by saying stuff like "but you're a good writer, motivator, your words have impact on the people". I just think that I am literally inferior to you STEM majors out there because I cannot fucking do math.
Any thoughts /sci/? Especially when a pretty girl can do advanced math (ive met some and yes they exist) and I can't. I look nerdy yes hence people expect me to be this technical person, but I am not.

Is it natural to be homophobic? From an evolutionary standpoint it's not advantageous to be gay because you can't reproduce, so there wouldn't be any benefit in associating with gay people. That would also explain why most people are naturally disgusted by trannies since cutting your dick off essentially takes you out of the gene pool.

Science claims it’s “impossible” for the coronavirus to come from a lab. Science also demanded large scale suppression of alternative theories to their bat soup conspiracy, resulting in millions of social media accounts getting shadowbanned or permanently disabled.
Why is Science not only wrong about everything, but also malevolent?

If you pass a super thin couple of atoms wide fiber through a material, will the material actually get cut? Don't atoms often shift around in solids as well? The disturbance caused by the fiber should be so minute that it essentially passes through and the material left intact.

🧵 The Origin of Human Intelligence: Cannibalism
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Mar 2024 09:06:50 UTC No. 16099066
We ate people before we ate animals. And cannibalism began with women eating their own children, and children eating their grandparents. You have to think like a woman two million years ago who was pregnant all the time, who did not know how to prevent pregnancy or how to abort, and who had to feed many children, often without a male partner to help.
The tradition of eating old people is documented in many cultures: nothing was wasted, and it would have been foolish to waste the flesh of a dead person.
Once you start eating your own family members, it becomes natural to start eating other people. In prehistory (and even not so long ago), people from other tribes were not perceived as belonging to the same species: they don't speak my language, their customs are different, they smell different, therefore they are not the same species as me. Killing and eating them was no more morally wrong than eating a hamburger today.

More and more individuals with schizophrenia have been observed to confront professors in person, as opposed to merely writing an angry e-mail, often resulting in violent incidents. Examples are John Herbert Mandlbaur and Archimedes Plutonium.
To ensure the safety of scientists, it is crucial to address the issue of confrontations with individuals who may have mental health conditions.
What can realistically and scientifically be done about this?

🧵 Definition of intelligence

Psychologists struggle to find this definition, but I define intelligence simply as the ability to learn and understand something. Agree or disagree?
🧵 Cure for Aging
Anonymous at Wed, 27 Mar 2024 05:35:56 UTC No. 16098865
Imagine how based shit would be if aging weren't an issue. Of course, things like cancer would still be a thing, and I imagine dementia would also still be a thing, even if the rate of progression could drastically be slowed through curing aging. But imagine feeling like you have all the time in the world. Imagine knowing that as long as you don't do something really stupid or get really unlucky, that you'll be in almost the same physical shape in your late 40s as you are in your early 20s. Imagine getting in a relationship with someone 20 years younger or older than you and it not looking weird.

theory: autism, bpd, and schizophrenia are at a fundamental level etiologically identical, stemming from the same innate sensory processing disorder that develops into schizophrenia, bpd or autism based on life experience and personality subtypes. psychosis is simply a predisposition among people with this developmental disorder due to adverse life experience, but is not inherent, similarly with any pseudoneurotic symptoms in schizotypal personality disorder. autists with high openness and neuroticism are barely distinguishable from schizotypal personality.
autists and schizophrenics are both highly sensitive resulting in multiple complex coping mechanisms, such as aberrant salience and on the flip side a poverty of salience and hyperfixations.
the theory that contradicts this is imprinted brain theory which has been proven false by data.
autism, bpd and schizophrenia were originally all put together under the same label, but they were separated due to phenotypical differences. the root cause is the same hypersensitivity to stimuli modulated by adverse life experiences and unique circumstances.
