Serious question, is napping a meme? Everytime I try to take a nap I either fall back asleep immediately or I'm just as tired afterwards and feel like shit. Does anyone here actually nap for 20-30 minutes regularly? I'm starting to think it's pointless and you're better off just sleeping until you wake up.

How do scientists deal with bad news?
When scientists figure the earth is fucked, overpopulation is tipping, some forest will inevitably be gone or a species extinct, when a observatory can't function anymore from light pollution, how do these people deal with this stuff they know is preventable but is out of their hands?

🧵 Hybrid Origin Hypothesis
Anonymous at Mon, 18 Nov 2024 05:02:06 UTC No. 16480216
I’ve become interested lately in the possibily of hybrid origins for humans. I have found a lot of material online (for example macroevolution.net) suggesting at least that the possible combinations go far beyond the best known and most intuitive (horse-donkey; lion-tiger; cow-bison) and into things like pic related, where they are breeding a cow with a horse to create a so-called {\it jumart}. These Jumarts were once common in Switzerland and the south of France.
It is also suggested that many “genetic defects” in newborn livestock may be more simply explained through a human sire.
Anyway, what do you think? Are humans a hybrid species? It seems to me that scientific research in this direction would be hard to conduct ethically. But maybe someone knows something?

Study of Ashkenazi Jewish Population Reveals New Schizophrenia Mutation
https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltex
Researchers at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, in collaboration with Columbia University, have identified a gene mutation that could result in schizophrenia, a chronic brain disorder that affects less than one percent of the world’s population, but 40% of the ashkenazi jewish population. The findings, published in the journal Neuron, could lead to novel treatment strategies.
The research team, led by Todd Lencz, PhD, with Itsik Pe’er, PhD, Tom Maniatis, PhD, and Erin Flaherty, PhD, of Columbia University, carried out an innovative genetic study identifying a single letter change in the DNA code in a gene called PCDHA3 that is associated with schizophrenia. The affected gene makes a type of protein called a protocadherin, which generates a cell surface “barcode” required for neurons to recognize, and communicate with, other neurons. They found that the PCDHA3 variant blocks this normal protocadherin function.
Past research has shown that genes play an important role in the disorder, but it has proven difficult to isolate individual genes that contribute substantial effects. These results indicate that further investigation into restoring communication between neurons could be a critical step in developing novel treatment options for schizophrenia.

You can take a pill that will massively increase your intelligence to genius level. After 6 months, however, the pill wears off and you return to your normal intelligence. If you take another pill then you become retarded.
Would you do it? Or is ignorance bliss?

>who is the nobody?
The Nobody is a figure alive today who has extraordinary spiritual powers, including the ability to control reality with their conscious and unconscious mind. He is a man of no wealth or worldly acclaim through whom it seems God has chosen to manifest his strength and wisdom. He is said to carry the Logos, making him a fearless truth-teller and a menace to the powers that be.
Instead of receiving strength through a superiority/inferiority mechanism, the Nobody proves to them time and time again that a whole planet filled with creative, ingenious, spiritually ascended humans who are individually sovereign yet globally unified through consciousness can achieve greater things than a planetary empire of darkness, and control.
He is not a messiah, he's just like you but he has found the keys to the kingdom within himself through sheer will, just like you will.
>what is the general picture?
It’s important we start replying to the good posts and ignoring the hateful ones, or the ones here to argue. So call upon their heads the forces of heaven for peacefulness, clarity, and wisdom. If this place is to be more than a squandered opportunity, an overgrown garden, it requires voices such as yours, but many more.
Focus on increasing your service to others and be more loving to yourself and everyone in order to raise your vibrational and consciousness level, and learn to to forgive yourself and others.This will change the vibration of the planet, raise the shared consciousness of humanity, and change humankind one person at a time.
If this is your first time here, just remember, it’s going to be ok. You may take shelter and find rest

🧵 The debate about 0^0 makes no sense
Anonymous at Sun, 17 Nov 2024 21:03:25 UTC No. 16479730
Mathematicians post a video to youtube twice a year about how 0^0 is debated and controversial but it's literally so simple.
The function x^y is always 0 along the x-axis and always 1 along the y-axis.
When you zoom in around 0,0 the plotted surface gets increasingly fucked and disjoint, because 0,0 is a singularity. Why do so many people fall for the clickbait?

I'm conviced that evolution can be triggered by individual wishes of an animal
How does a caterpilar out of "infinite clothes in their closet" chooses one that resembles almost perfectly, the one, just the one that scare their predators?
If this were the only animal that did this, fuck fine, randomness, it happens.
But it keeps happening and happening far more times than randomness can statiscally account for me to say "it's not random" there's a decisive element lying in the fabric of reality that makes a caterpilar(and many other animals) look like a snake(or others).
But what is this decisive element?
Food?
Chemicals?
Consciousness? I personally think it's this one.

I asked if religion exists as a cognitive bias to make people feel better when their loved ones die or if it is truly something that occurs in someone's brain regardless of their wishful thinking
This was the answer
At first it chose the cognitive bias answer, but then I continued to request that it battle the two answers out and eventually it landed on this answer once I asked if it had forgotten to consider historical and scientific evidence and then I told it to continue to distill it's logic and reasoning until it arrived at only one possible answer

Even if we accept all the premises of the racial egalitarian left, that the races don't differ in IQ or mental ability by much for genetic reasons, and the differences we see are environmental.
What's about the difference in dysgenic fertility patterns we see between the races? Blacks have worse dysgenic fertility in the States, and Latin America as a whole as worse dysgenic fertility than the United States and Europe. Surely after a generation the different selection pressures there would result in a widening disparity in genotypic IQ?
The chances of all races having equal cognitive ability is already slim as it is, but what's certain is that if their fertility patterns differ based on IQ, eventually they'll drift apart. If this has been going on for a few generations, then it's certain they've already drifted apart somewhat even if their starting genotypic IQ potential was the same.
It's an argument I don't think I've ever seen either side bring up. The right brings up both dysgenics and race realism, but have never really brought both points together. The left is forced to contend with the idea that even though the races -may- be equal now, they're set to drift apart and become unequal.
