I didn't realize that stimulants would make a taser ineffective against someone, I guess because its enhancing the inhibitory parts of the brain and their ability to override the pain?

Maybe its something else like pain integrating into consciousness differently (e,g, in a non-debilitating way) while in psychosis?

Damn, so this thread is still going on despite everyone being proven to be statistical ignorants. You know, I remember the good old days when the people who believed in climate change were the smart ones and the deniers were the statistical ignorants. Then suddenly it got profitable and everyone with ethics like me became neutral instead of joining the grifters (who by nature of being glorified scam-artists are really stupid and ignorant of science in general), and all the grifters who were on the oil-money side simply changed to the highest bidder.

When the dust settles and some California start-up solves climate change and every retards climate alarmist gets proven wrong I'm going to write a book about the history of global warming and climate science. This is really the story that proves what anyone in science knows but is too afraid to admit: 99.9% of scientists are incompetent.

Funny how you claim everyone is ignorant of statistics when you haven't given even a single example of any climate model being inaccurate or overfit. You just spent the whole thread conflating the climate with markets when anyone with a background in statistics can see they arw completely different in their behavior and how they are studied. Nice LARP.

I didn't need to, one of you guys did it for me. Above someone posted an article where some researchers tested 15 climate models against recent data and found some that (still) worked, and some that had SEVERELY overestimated the rising temperatures compared to current levels (i.e. grifters). Just read that, I even said that the research was well done. Though I must add that that is the kind of research I'd expect from a mediocre undergrad thesis, God knows why some serious scientists even bothered. That is the kind of statistical analysis you do on R on the weekends out of curiosity and then maybe mention to your colleagues in casual conversation once or twice. But they got published (see my point about easy publications?).

>You just spent the whole thread conflating the climate with markets

As I said, financial markets have the best-recorded history of events when statistical models worked for a long time and then just stopped working and then everyone got fucked in the ass. I never said climate = finance. I am saying that finance is the only field with good data regarding these types of events. As I said, if you want to ignore the lessons of history then you do you.

Which paper are you referring to? I don't see any that show models severely overestimating anything.

>As I said, financial markets have the best-recorded history of events when statistical models worked for a long time and then just stopped working and then everyone got fucked in the ass.
Supposedly you understand statistics so supposedly you understand this is caused by the chaotic nature of markets. The parts of the climate that are necessary to predict the long term trend are not chaotic.

>Seriously though global warming is a death cult.
Define "death cult". Because I'm pretty sure it's nowhere close.

>It's unfalsifiable
No it isn't. If the planet wasn't warming then it would be falsified. If CO2 turns out to not be a greenhouse gas it would be falsified. If there are other forcings which dominate humanity's contribution then it would be falsified.

>it requires you to give your resources to superiors to be saved
It requires taking resources AWAY form our "superiors". What do you think the impact of tax-and-dividend policies would be?

>it can only be understood by a white-robed priest class
Nonsense. It can be understood by anyone with a decent level of education, who is willing to put a moderate level of effort in. There's mountains of data and detailed explanations available on websites. The basics are accessible to high-school students.
If you don't understand AGW then that's on you.

>anyone who questions it just hasn't seen the light of the gospel.
You're in a thread full of people making obviously bad-faith arguments against AGW, you're personally in the middle of comparing it to a cult, and yet you can't understand why people won't accept criticism of it with a simile?

>Have any of you killed for this yet? Would you, if mighty Climate said that you had to to avoid His wrath?
Is this really the best you can do?

>1. make a criterium by which you make a:
>DISTINCTION BETWEEN A "NEXT EVOLUTIONARY STEP MUTATION" AND A "DEFECT".
>100 000$$$$$!!!!!
A mutation is a change in the genome while a defect is a negative change in function. A mutation does not have to be negative and a defect does not have to be genetic, so they are distinct. How are you going to be paying?

>2. name a scientific discovery or scientific prediction based on evolutionary paradigm like discovering vestigial organs in humans etc. or making a scientificBreaktroughTM that made a good TED talk (inb4-genetics - it already existed before Darwin and can perfectly exists within a YEC paradigm)
OK, long before the mapping of the human genome it was predicted by evolutionary theory that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. This was proven when we found many matching ERVs in the human and chimpanzee genomes at the exact same places. This could only occur from retroviruses inserting themselves into a common ancestor of chimps and humans and then those ERVs being inherited by both. Also genetics was discovered by Mendel after Darwin.

Anki and flashcards help. Remember to give yourself deep reading/assimilation time Before doing rote memory exercises -- the latter are almost useless without the former.
