How come human beings look so different? There's a fixed number of features (eyes, mouth, nose, etc.) but two people rarely look alike.
Do animals also vary facially to the same extent as us? What about insects?

If you have two electrons really far away from each other, you can just think about them as independent particles doing their thing. When they are close together, they start getting the quantum effects like "cant be in the same state".
Its the same for composite particles like protons, the internal particles are considered linked and subject to collective rules, but not the particles of two random protons on two different planets. They are just disconnected.
How does this work formally? When do multiple particles become "a system"?
When they become entangled?
What do you call billions of entangled particles? A condensate?

Cladistically Africa has much much more divergent races that non-Africans, why do race realists never mention this

Is a gifted individual the result of gene conditioning and genetic lottery, or is the way they develop more akin to an undefined, complex influence of external factors shaping that person at various stages of development? Assuming the latter option in a hypothetical situation with the appropriate allocation of resources, systems, and institutions are we capable of creating a society composed exclusively of gifted individuals (a form of cultural eugenics). Isn’t environment a primary actor in shaping population?

🧵 Brain scanning and personal identity
Anonymous at Thu, 27 Mar 2025 09:05:10 UTC No. 16629667
What constitutes a persons personal identity?
ive been thinking about brain scans and brain replacements and i've come to the conclusion that personal identity is preserved through a heirarchy of continuety.
>Perfect continuity (Normal life, gradual change, no real disruption) = Definitely still you
>Minor disruptions (Sudden Memory loss, body alterations, personality shifts) = Still you, but different
>Radical change, but unbroken chain (Gradual Brain replacement, ship of Theseus case) = Still you, just completely transformed
>Instant duplication with destruction (Teleportation) = Copy, not you
>Instant duplication without destruction (Cloning, Brain scan then copy & paste to new body) = Definitely not you
i'm curious to see peoples perspective on the matter.

What do we know about the evolution of human intelligence after the speciation of homo sapiens? I've read a bit about how cro-magnons had a larger cranial capacity than modern humans. Humans also seem to have rapidly sped up technological innovation after 50,000 bc for some reason

This is the Yamabe invariant of Lens spaces. I would at least like to study the case where q=1 because I believe the conjecture is still even unproven for that.
