🧵 NOAA now asserts that global warming is fake news
Anonymous at Sun, 7 Apr 2024 23:20:52 UTC No. 16117641
NOAA admits that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas and has no effect on the climate. According to NOAA:
>The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around
>4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today,
>the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, &
>large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
Which is to say that even though CO2 is the same now as it was 4.3 million years ago, the climate today is far, far different and much colder than it was 4.3 million years ago and this is because atmospheric CO2 levels have no effect or undetectably little effect on the Earth's climate. Its also worth noting that atmospheric CO2 levels have been substantially above where they have been in the recent past for over 100 years now and there has been no substantial change in the climate during that time, which only further proves NOAA's assertion that CO2 doesn't affect the Earth's climate and that CO2 is not a meaningful greenhouse gas.

Einstein's theory of general relativity laid the groundwork for the concept of white holes. However, there's no record of him directly discussing them.
General relativity predicts white holes. The math behind his theory allows for solutions that describe these mirrored versions of black holes.

I go to Arizona state. I had classes and get money from the army. My voices got too wild and can't keep going to clsss. So I just stopped around a month and am scared too get drop out. The grades are in at the end of the month. What do I do cause I'm running out of time for the assignment. Please SOS. How do I solve this problem.

🧵 What if there's no 'free choice'
Anonymous at Sun, 7 Apr 2024 21:21:45 UTC No. 16117489
Recently read Gabor Maté's 'Myth of normal' which is about how we are influenced by traumata and the like, which we can attain for ourselves, or by inheriting them from other people. If your parents have some mental disorder or phobia, this can also affect you as a child and for your life to come. And if I think about some other sci texts I've read about 'free choice', 'free will' and the emprical and biological view of this, I start to get the impression that humans can't control their behaviour. They are controlled by the subconcious mind, their traumata and experiences, how their family and friends influenced them.
But what if we are just really monkeys in suits, without control over what we do? That premise would mean noone is *really* fault for doing bad things, because they didn't chose to do it by theirself. Assholes would have no control over being assholes. And so on.
What are your thoughts?

🧵 Ketamine for ADHD / addictions / procrastination
Anonymous at Sun, 7 Apr 2024 19:10:00 UTC No. 16117349
Ketamine is one of the substances that reliably induces neuroplasticity in prefrontal cortex (PFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) among other regions. But PFC And ACC are the parts that's important for us. Ketamine has been studied for its potential treatment in addiction and shown promising results.
Amphetamine is also one of the well established to improve executive functioning, particularly for those with impairing-level executive dysfunction like ADHD and addiction.
So, let's say we start this protocol in Jan 1st.
Jan 1: ketamine 1mg/kg
Jan 2-10: therapeutic amphetamine (ADHD dose)
Jan 11: ketamine 1mg/kg
Jan 12-30: therapeutic amphetamine
Feb 1: ketamine 1mg/kg or 0.5mg/kg
Feb 2-20: therapeutic amphetamine
The idea is, use ketamine to induce "critical period" or neuroplasticity, and then during this critical period, force yourself to do the habit that is favourable (like quitting addictive behaviours, procrastination, impulsivity) such that we "change" the neural network's pathways during these vulnerable/plastic period. So once the ketamine is ceased, the neural pathway that was formed during this protocol remains intact. Basically using ketamine to smooth the process and make it faster, as an aid.
Think of it like creating a jewelry. You have a golden chain, but you want a bracelet. So you melt that chain (equivalent to administering ketamine), and then it becomes more "plastic" (meaning vulnerable to change, think of this as doing the activity you flavour during this period). But this is temporary, you have to create the shape within a few hours of melting that chain. Once you melted the golden chain and created a bracelet out of it, now you can make it cool down and now you got yourself a bracelet out of chain.
Previous neural pathway was impulsive, addictive, procrastinating (maladaptive), now you induce ketamine, with or without amphetamine, then at end of protocol, you have new neural pathways that is favourable.
Any thoughts? Discuss.

Academics are literal hivemind charlatan scammers. This has been known by many already, but now there's hard evidence to prove it. So-called "experts" are cheaters and liars just like the average student who cheats on his or her exams. And the evidence focuses on STEM papers specifically, including medicine, and not what are considered bullshit majors where of course everyone is expected to be a bullshitter and plagiarizer.

Over a decade ago Lebron James started a STEM focused school to educate youths from elementary school through high school. Lebron also promises the kids in the school to pay for their college tuition if they're able to graduate with a 3.0 average or better from the high school end his school, but regardless of all the massive amount of money he had poured into the operation its been a massive failure.
Why didn't it work out?
