How feasible is it actually to be a self taught engineer/scientist? The biggest obstacle I can name at the top of my head is that without a lab and equipment only universities or big companies can afford, you can't get practical knowledge, unless you were doing something that only needs a computer

What is the point of science? The more we learn about the universe and our place in it, the more futile human life, all life becomes. What is it that the scientists in all fields are striving for? When all the pieces of the puzzle are in place, what picture will we see? What if it transpires that the purpose of life on earth is to suffer for the sake of a Lovecraftian monster? What will the brave men and women of science say then?
>the logical conclusion of science is atheism
>the logical conclusion of atheism is anti-natalism
It is science, not superstition, that will ultimately be responsible for the voluntary extinction of the human race.
We were never meant to know such things. Now we are doomed.

I'm tired of having compulsive thoughts about killing niggers, jews, browns, fags, etc. and raping random women I see on the street. I got a girlfriend roughly a year ago and thought they'd go away but it's just gotten worse. Also I love talking about myself if you couldn't tell.

🗑️ 🧵 How are there so many Chinese valedictorians?
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 17:49:22 UTC No. 16166117
For the past few years my school district has only had nearly all Chinese valedictorians.
I had one on them in my computer science class where we learned Java, and he wasn’t particularly intelligent. He genuinely did not now how to actually code, so I have no idea how he ended as a valedictorian. It all seems a bit sus.

Lately I have a doubt. If the first figure is supposed to measure more kilometers, then why does the second figure encircle more blocks and streets if it is supposed to measure fewer kilometers than the first figure?

We discuss research, DO NOT offer advice (just fucking go see your doctor), make fun of premeds and shitpost.
Keep vaccination/clamping/vitamin K/soliciting advice out of this thread and start your own because it takes a lot of space.

🧵 A reality based-economy
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 12:44:21 UTC No. 16165731
Apologies for this post I know it is not the right board, but there is no more philosophy board so I guess this is were I found the best fit for this mental exercise.
So I've been wondering much about this idea of a reality-based economy. In such a world realism rules:
- there would be no debt since debt is not something material nor real. No one could pay another with a promise, and no currency would ever be emitted out of thin air.
- trading doesn't exist, since we know that there are no truly fungible items in reality, no two grains of rice are ever the same. In other words, items have no value of equivalence to trade. Only elementary particles with the same quantum properties are truly identical and tradeable.
- There would be no days of the week, nor months, for they reflect nothing in reality. (today is not a Wednesday, in case you're wondering)
- There would be no private property since physical objects, though they have many properties that can be measured, none have a "belongs to" trait.
What other quirky characteristics would such a place have?
🧵 So how did centipedes end up on land?
Anonymous at Wed, 8 May 2024 11:51:18 UTC No. 16165660
There are no sea centipedes so how come there are land centipedes?
Is it possible that ONLY TWO arthropod groups arrived on land, 440 million years ago?
440 million years ago
group 1: sea scorpion
-while sea scorpiones eventually all went extinct on the sea during hundred million years, their land relatives survived
-their offspringe are land scorpions, mites, spiders, dust mites, harvestmen
440 million years ago
group 2: pill bug like crustacean related to shrimp
-evolves into centipedes
-evolves into velvet worms (velvet worms further evolve into insects but their ancestral form didnt disappear)
-first insect is silverfish, looks a lot like pillbug in a way
-does not evolve into land crustaceans
150 million years ago, so it is recent attempt!
another group of crustaceans, a long lineage of lobsters make a landing
-they evolve into freshwater crabs
-they evolve into coconut crab (completely terrestrial and has lungs)
compared to vertebrates, arthropods landed twice or even three times, all from different groups of arthropods
the original sea ancestor of sea scorpions and crustaceans lived 1 billion years ago and was a worm, this means the two arthropod groups have had unimaginable amount of time passed after they split

Scientific consensus on this guy? What should be the aim of science if we're not to progress? In my eyes, God gave us brains for a reason.
