Redpill me on Wisdom Teeth

No.14400240 ViewReplyOriginalReport
What is the significance of these teeth? I had to get two removed a while back, and now I have a noticeable drop in creativity. My coordination isn't as good and I'm literally weaker during my workouts. Are these Teeth connected to the CNS? It feels like after removal my nervous system isn't getting activated like it used to. I have brain fog too. I just feel like I lost my edge in general. What the heck is going on here.

What is the scientific explanation behind lust? Why do we feel it? Why is it often an intrinsic and uncontrollable urge? It's as if we subconsciously have that drive to breed sexy individuals down to no end, yet we don't exactly know the how of it, why?

The Scientific Method, Settled Science, and Falsifiability.

No.14401447 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
In recent years there have been increasing calls for censorship, deplatforming, and more "content moderation" of journalistic and scholarly discourse, and public discourse more broadly speaking. Part of this trend has been the recent emergence of concepts like "settled science", and the claim that individuals should not be allowed to challenge, question, or disagree with the settled science under any circumstances, even if those individuals are themselves experts on these topics (Martin Kuldorff and Jay Bhattacharya are the best examples, but there are hundreds of others across numerous disciplines).

Of course, I understand the desire to promote rational discourse and to encourage evidence based public policy, but that being said, what objective logical, mathematical, and empirical criteria can be used to distinguish "settled science" from other scientific debates and discussions that have not been "settled", and how is the concept of "settled science" compatible with the scientific method and the concept of falsifiability? From what I have seen, nobody has ever provided any legitimate scientific criteria that could be used to distinguish "settled science" from other forms of science in a comprehensive and consistent manner, and the very concept of "settled science" appears to be logically inconsistent with the very concept of falsifiability itself. If a set of concepts or theories or models are declared to be "settled science", then you are, by definition, saying that these ideas cannot be questioned or challenged under any circumstances regardless of the empirical, mathematical, or logical justification for doing so. If this is the case, then the very concept of "settled science" is in fact incompatible with the scientific method, which is predicated on the concept of falsifiability.

>Overall, Florida is initially not including 54 of the 132 (41 percent) submitted textbooks on the state’s adopted list. The full breakdown is below:
>78 of 132 total submitted textbooks are being included on the state’s adopted list.
>28 (21 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they incorporate prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT.
>12 (9 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they do not properly align to B.E.S.T. Standards.
>14 (11 percent) are not included on the adopted list because they do not properly align to B.E.S.T. Standards and incorporate prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT.
>Grades K-5: 71 percent of materials were rejected.
>Grades 6-8: 20 percent of materials were rejected.
>Grades 9-12: 35 percent of materials were rejected.

>“It seems that some publishers attempted to slap a coat of paint on an old house built on the foundation of Common Core, and indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I’m grateful that Commissioner Corcoran and his team at the Department have conducted such a thorough vetting of these textbooks to ensure they comply with the law.”

Scientist sues employer over birthday party

Scientist spergs out over unwanted office birthday party, awarded $450,000 compensation by jury

>Days before his birthday in August 2019, an employee at a Kentucky-based laboratory asked his office manager to not arrange a celebration for his birthday.
>It wasn’t the fear of getting older, but rather an anxiety disorder that can spur “panic attacks in stressful situations,” according to court documents. The employee, who was hired in October 2018 by Gravity Diagnostics, did not want a celebration because “being the center of attention” can trigger his disorder, the documents state.
>When the company threw him a lunchtime party against his wishes, it triggered a panic attack and he left abruptly to spend his break in his car. Four days later, after his office managers confronted him about his reaction to the party, he was fired from the Northern Kentucky company, court records show.
>He eventually sued Gravity Diagnostics, and this week, a jury awarded the man $450,000 in damages for his lost wages and emotional distress.
>The $450,000 he was awarded includes $120,000 for lost wages and $300,000 for “past, present and future mental pain and suffering, mental anguish, embarrassment, humiliation, mortification and loss of self-esteem,” court records show.

They don't cover stuff like this in STEM school, but they probably should.
