What changes should be made to the peer review process so that the "peers" can't just rubber stamp the papers and let trash like this get published?
pic related: "the science" doesn't even try anymore, just copy paste the numbers lol.
this kind of low IQ frauds shouldn't even passed the paper writing because it's so apparent. the authors should've realized this kind of fraud is retarded but somehow it made it all the way through peer review.

anything more brutal than studying hard for a test and performing very badly, knowing people that studied less effortlessly, with much less stress, did better than you?
even with amphetamine and studying many hours for months. brutal.
it's the most demoralising thing ever. I am a beaten down dead dog today.

Sending probes and robots is really good and all that, but I think it's important to also put actual people out there someday, that is how you get people excited to do space stuff. Do you want to live in a world where nobody ever get's to see Jupiter up close?
When it's safe to do so, obviously.

Like, you sprinkle some magnesium citrate into a vinegrette, where do you suppose its bits would end up hanging out?
Is it different when it's shaken or settled?

🧵 Alcoholism and the science and medicine of liver disease
Anonymous at Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:58:29 UTC No. 16153081
Why is the science behind liver disease seem so muddled.
I've read statistics as low as 5% on the low end of heavy drinkers to 10% to 20% on the high-end.
10% is the most commonly cited.
How much of this is scare tactics because 1 out of 10 heavy drinkers is not a high percentage, yea it's a risk, but I hear doctors talk as if every heavy drinker is going to get cirrhosis.
Why are their racial disparities with hispanics and blacks more likely to get it then whites. I never see stats on Asians.
It's also interesting that women are more susceptible to liver disease and cirrhosis but men are more likely to get it because there's a bigger drinking culture around men, although after graduating from college and seeing how some of those girls drink? I think that stat might start changing.
I read genetics factor highly into cirrhosis, does that mean if someone has a history of alcoholism in their family and no one ever developed advanced liver disease that that person is less likely to get it, versus someone who is an alcoholic and has a history of liver disease in the family?
It's weird that I read in some case studies that cirrhosis is reversible and other case studies that say it never is.
Are blood panels and liver function tests effective at detecting liver damage?
No, I'm not worried about myself, but my father who has been a heavy drinker all his life. He's in his 60's and his father and his father's father have all been alcoholics and none ever developed cirrhosis or liver disease and lived to be in their late 80's/ early 90's. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject because I'm worried about him but there seems to be a lot of conflicting data that I can't make heads or tails of.
I also read that drinking coffee regularly and taking milk thistle can help fight the onset of liver disease, it won't sober you up, but it will help prevent damage.
Any med students or doctors or people who specialize in the liver who can help me parse through this data?

🧵 "Robot vs Cat: Who's the real retard?"
Anonymous at Tue, 30 Apr 2024 10:33:50 UTC No. 16153005
"YK, I had this wild thought: a body is key to consciousness. Like, consider a cat - it's not like it's got a ton of knowledge or data stored in that little head, but it's got a body and those instincts are fire
Take a robot, for example. You tell it to pick up food, and it'll do it no matter what. Even if you light a fire between the robot and the food, it'll just walk right into the flames. But a cat? Nah, it's got better sense than that. It'll avoid that fire like the plague
So what's going on here? Is the cat just more intelligent because it's got a body that can inform its decisions? IDK MAN, JUST MY TWO CENTS

>Imagine a room completely sealed off from the outside world. This room is so carefully sealed and shielded that no instruments or signals of any kind can penetrate its walls to obtain information about what’s inside. Every so often, some lucky individual gets randomly selected to enter this room. They’re given time to investigate the room’s contents to their satisfaction, but when they leave, the only information they can take with them is their memory of what they witnessed. They can’t carry any sort of physical evidence at all.
>Most of us would agree that, if enough people went into this room and enough of them came out of it agreeing about what was inside, their joint testimony would justify the rest of us in believing that the room contained what they said it did, even in the absence of physical evidence. Now, it’s true that, if the contents of the room were quite strange—say, if its contents appeared to contradict the accepted laws of physics—we might need a particularly high number of testimonies from particularly well-qualified investigators to convince us that the room’s contents were indeed as strange as reported.
>But if enough reliable observers came away convinced that the room’s contents contravened the accepted laws of physics, then we would be justified in relying on their testimony and adopting their belief about the room’s contents as our own.
What would it take for you personally to believe that some sort of afterlife exists?

The intellect is the most dangerous weapon ever developed by humans. A way to neutralize it had to be developed.
I dare (not) say, I could (not) manipulate your chaotic mix of arrogance and cowardice to deprive you of your capacity for reason if you are rude. I tested this today.
Righteous people have to practice a lot of self doubt to avoid erring like Hitler in the impunity we've developed. These kinds of statements serve to reassure in 2^n different ways.
Words have these things called meanings. I never knew learning Hebrew would give me mind antivirus from social distancing. For the longest time, I was so angry at paradoxically attracting the trouble of bad drivers that it made me question my sanity. Scholars, let's practice spatial-temporal distancing before your misdirected need for danger and play get us all killed in a most splendid apocalyptic way.
Have you callous lesser mortals (not) witnessed all the traffic accidents? Do you just tune out all the scam texts while being so buried in your phones that you can't hear people asking you simple questions?
If you want to impress anyone, including yourself, in calling me a schizo or self righteous, you need not even challenge me to an academic decathlon fistfight anymore. You just have to not fall for these.
I was taking dictation from my TA when I discovered this, so I (don't) take credit. But I dare (not) say, I may be first person to get Evangelion.
