>>14124876 There is an inverse relation between speed and accuracy. If you never want to lose the game, then you have to take your time and be careful, sometimes making the best guess. If you want to be fast, you have to be prepared to lose thousands of times for every win. That's how speedrunners do it: they click wildly on whatever gives them the largest probability of a success without needing to think, which is almost but not quite random. Then, they just repeat until they get lucky.

>>14123220 Original Minesweeper has a lot of configurations that are unsolvable and you have to make a 50:50 guess, so not a very good IQ test. However there are versions people programmed to never allow ambiguous scenarios to occur. But even then, it's more pattern recognition than an IQ test. I used to be really fast at it, and I'm an idiot

/sci/ bros, how do I into physics?
I want to understand more about the world I'm living in, but I have no idea where to start
The only thing I have going for me is that I'm not a mathlet, so I shouldn't have any problems on that side, at least in the beginning

>>14120308 >Physics will not help you understand the world you're living in, since physics is the study of nature while you live in an artificial world called human society. You are better off studying sociology and politics. This is quadruply true if most of your social interactions happen through the internet. Fucking onions take. You actively contribute to the degradation of society by not learning how the physical world works.

>>14124565 Strictly speaking that has pretty much always been the case. It's just unusually severe at the moment.
Most species only exist in small numbers, and then go extinct as another little evolutionary stub.
Basically most individual organisms belong to a fairly common species, but most species are rare.

if your IQ is at least 120 but your salary is less than $140k/yr then you really aren't above 120 IQ
Anonymous
Quoted By:
This is anecdotal conjecture but from my interactions and experiences the people with higher IQ tend to not worry so much about how much they make as long as they make enough and are stimulated. I haven't had tests done on these people to confirm of course but the people I'd wager to guess were in the 110-125 IQ range tend to be the most obnoxiously obsessed with having their accomplishments be known and pursuing jobs for the sake of salary rather that job satisfaction.

If anything wealthy people are less intelligent, not more. Virtually all lucrative jobs require no reasoning powers whatsoever and most are also morally abhorrent. The only real correlation is between looks and income, which proves income doesn’t count as an achievement.

I saw the list on wiki, but im not sure if its good. Picrel is all the genetics books I have found and compiled together.
Some may be repetitive (like I mightve contained two books with the same basic content).
What do you think? What do I remove/keep? I want to learn genetics for humans. Human populations. I am a Math major and have so far up to Linear Algebra and Diff eq formally,BS level informally.
I want to get as little Genetics books as possible. And these are my ideas of some books.

Why doesn’t the cartel have an Atomic bomb? They certainly have the money for it
Anonymous
The CIA and other alphabet orgs have unlimited funding when it comes to tracking nuclear devices and material. Avoiding nuclear proliferation is a top priority of the intelligence community. It's not an exaggeration to say the US government is aware of the location at all times of nearly every nuclear weapon ever created. If a cartel had possession of a nuclear device they would be eradicated without mercy in minutes. Even if they were trying to obtain one it would be treated the same. Anyone who runs a cartel is smart enough to know the US doesn't screw around with nukes. t. not a glownigger

>>14125208 Bell's theorem
>>14125214 >In 1964, John Bell showed through his famous theorem that if local hidden variables exist, certain experiments could be performed involving quantum entanglement where the result would satisfy a Bell inequality. If, on the other hand, statistical correlations resulting from quantum entanglement could not be explained by local hidden variables, the Bell inequality would be violated. Another no-go theorem concerning hidden-variable theories is the Kochen–Specker theorem. >Physicists such as Alain Aspect and Paul Kwiat have performed experiments that have found violations of these inequalities up to 242 standard deviations.[20] This rules out local hidden-variable theories, but does not rule out non-local ones. Theoretically, there could be experimental problems that affect the validity of the experimental findings. Anonymous

The problem with bells theorem is that is relies on too many assumptions to be a fucking proof.
