Is it possible to get tenure track at a prestigious university if you have had a completely unremarkable education (meh universities and grades, no awards, no scholarships) up to the master's level? Can you turn it around during your PhD and postdoc?

As long as you work hard enough.

yes. Only the "last" milestone matters. If you had shitty grades throughout bachelors, but wrote a nice master's thesis (and preferably had good grades in the master), you will get a PhD position. Then it is your PhD thesis and publications that will determine your academic career (and some extras such as teaching, participation in conferences, general networking). Nobody cares about your Highschool grades if you have a PhD.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for
the human race. They have greatly increased the life expectancy of those of
us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have
made life un fulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have
led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical
suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the narural world.

What is the correct interpretation of the delayed-choice quantum eraser and what are the implications?

>>14403908 The implication is that the universe always knows the potential path a photon can take; the path of least resistance exists regardless of medium and can be thought of as a superconducting dimension of information. Exactly in the same way of electric charges, photons move by a felid line. Create an arrangement of polarized light and beam splitters and you can create potentials that exist regardless of the light being shot through them. Its very much like a winding of wire, always having the potential for current to be induced into it, just because of its shape.

I keep thinking about sex everyday, every single hour. I masturbate from 5 to 8 times a day and it happens in college as well or other public spaces, I frequently go to the bathroom to rub one off and I know this is extremely creepy and I want to stop but I can't. It's stronger than me, it consumes me, I become a different person when I get excited. This obsession has disturbed my academic life and I don't want it to keep happening, but I also don't want to take meds like antidepressants. Is there a way to reduce my libido naturally by ingesting more of a certain type of food or something like that?

A lack of food will kill your libido almost instantly. It helps give you a head start, and then afterwards it's easier to avoid porn and jacking off

Jews are scholarly people who avoid more physical tasks, so the way to avoid them is by seeking any field of study where you must get your hands dirty.

>>14404343 You are missing the point, it is the exact same thing regardless of the length of said loss of consciousness. Someone under a coma experiences the same thing someone who is asleep does, except for a longer amount of time. Time of which is completely removed out of the equation, someone who is dreaming is seemingly able to skip time, which is also what happens when we fall asleep and wake up. Lack of consciousness is far from being abnormal, people experience it every day and it is a part of being alive, tell me exactly how a dream within a coma differentiates itself from a dream while asleep. It is the same state, the unconscious brain works exactly the same when someone is dreaming while asleep from someone who is dreaming while in a coma. Near death experiences are also partly due to this ability, the brain is dreaming during near death experiences. The only thing we can conclude from the experiences people have had while nearly dying is that the brain dreams up things.
