🧵 Filtering our Coffees is scientifically a scam.

Coffee has only ONE requirement; to stay in ~90C for ~5min; anything instant is just the same but premade and then dried to a powder.
Hence you can UNIRONICALLY just drop boiling water to ANY coffee in cup; then you just wait for ~5min and just drink it; the residue at the bottom is nothing special since it's like any Greek/Turkish coffee in that case (you just don't drink that part).
Hence put your regular water boiler to work,
and then use any "expensive" coffee in your cup without having to buy complicated coffee machines.
🗑️ 🧵 Psychopathic Geniuses

We are Psychopathic Geniuses.
Only 1/31,560 people have a 160+ IQ, and only 1% of the population has psychopathy. Assuming probabilistic independence, about 1/3,156,000 of the population satisfy both criteria, meaning there are only around 2,535 of us in the world. Are you one of us?
Every human interaction induces a game. The player who wants to win the most sets the rules. Affective empathy and other forms of neuroticism set the bar for your capacity to take action. This bar is concerningly low for most people, bordering on the self-sacrificial if not outright masochistic. In effect, when faced with a purely rational opponent, such a person can never win. No intelligence makes one impotent; no lack of affective empathy and other irrational biases makes one incapable of competing at the extremes. In this sense, psychopathic geniuses are the ideal people, a superior people.
We labor to create an engaging environment for such extraordinarily esoteric individuals—a place free from the impotence of the ordinary, a place free from the irrationality of neurotypicals. We may look friendly on the surface, but make no mistake—there are no lengths we won't go to if you piss us off.

🧵 Actually good multivariable real analysis
Anonymous at Tue, 4 Jun 2024 12:03:21 UTC No. 16209629
I'm a first year mathematics student, currently taking multivariable real analysis. I find the course to be unclear (can elaborate if necessary), same for some books I looked at on the subject (Apostol's Mathematical Analysis, for example). Is analysis just like that or is my brain not made for it? I don't have any problems with linear algebra.
Anyways, please recommend an actually clear (which implies rigorous) book covering multivariable real analysis.

Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.
They said the “unprecedented” figures “raised serious concerns” and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.

🧵 In regards to Science and Philosophy
Anonymous at Tue, 4 Jun 2024 10:56:58 UTC No. 16209544
There is a whole lot of confusion about Science vs Philosophy, many people confound the two, and that confusion is here often used to attack the process of inquiry about the natural world that is Science. So let's clear that up:
If you're too lazy to read much:
- Science is thinking and doing "is nature like so, or is it not? Let's go see and verify".
- Philosophy is "what does it mean?"
Science provides us with the facts and knowledge about the world, while philosophy helps us make sense of those facts and understand their place within our broader worldviews.
More elaborately explained, Science and philosophy are both concerned with understanding the world and our place within it, but they approach these questions from different angles and with different tools.
Science focuses on empirically testing hypotheses about the nature of reality. It relies on observation, experimentation, and measurement to explain natural phenomena and develop testable theories. It aims to uncover objective truths about the physical world, and its findings are often expressed in terms of laws, equations, and models.
On the other hand, Philosophy delves deeper into the implications and significance of those findings. It is a rational discipline that uses logic, critical thinking, and conceptual analysis to explore fundamental questions about reality, knowledge, ethics, and human experience. It aims to clarify concepts, expose assumptions, and examine the foundations of our beliefs.
This is CRUCIAL for you to understand: Philosophical inquiry often leads to debates and multiple perspectives rather than definitive answers, and there are often no right answers in Philosophy, just interesting possibilities to digest.
I hope that clears things up for you, and you stop tormenting yourself in that confusion.
There should already be a sticky about this, frankly, because those types of threads keep on repeating themselves everyday.

Is this science? We don't care about truth but whether something is useful? Science is not very different from religion.

🧵 Meat/leafy greens poop smell differences
Anonymous at Tue, 4 Jun 2024 07:02:46 UTC No. 16209341
I have been trying to cut back on fats and having more veggie foods so I have tried different types of meals recently, and I noticed a big difference in how the poop smells.
Why does the smell of poop when you eat a meat-based meal, like pic, smell stronger, more pungent, like putrid meat, it smells horribly, and a mostly leafy-greens meal has a more mild, earthy smell, almost like freshly-cut grass or vegetables?
I thought it was all about heart health and weight loss, but now it has me worried about what is going on in my gut when I eat meat.
