The foundations for human knowledge i.e. science, is no different from the foundation for spiritual knowledge i.e. religious texts. I think it's funny that everybody thinks they seek the truth, but really what they seek is value. The things that people value are what they seek out. Nothing is fundamentally true, so why do so many people claim to seek the truth? I bet it's because it makes them look good from a social perspective. When did you guys realize that almost everyone around you is an NPC?

OP here. It's pretty simple actually. The bible could be lying to me just as my senses could, and is they were I wouldn't know it. Doesn't take a scientist to figure that out lol.

>You value patterns, Christians value God. You both have your reasons, what makes one reason better than the other? It is the value you place on it. Scientists and Christians are both on copium, and most of them don't even know it.

Christianity is a slave religion invented by Rome to pacify conquered territory. The entire religion, top to bottom, is construct of slave based imperialism.

You'll either be wise enough to understand that one day or not. Either way I dont care.

every thirty seconds, you are presented with:
the order of all live threads on a given board
the number of posts in each thread
the time of the last post in each thread

how would YOU estimate the remaining lifetime of a thread?

the variance would be too high on this board as it's slow enough to depend on who is currently browsing. You'd need a very big population and it wouldn't be very helpful

some threads have an interesting or so retarded it's interesting premise and so live a while
but probably more so at certain times, maybe people are more receptive to new ideas after dinner or whatever
so maybe some sort of word 2 vector and measure divergence from the normal language

also it seems we get hornier around the same time so a coffee thread with a hot lady pic maybe is more likely to live longer

ok how about:
- record bump rate per thread and board-wide new thread arrival rate
- run a bunch of randomized simulations w/ those parameters and different seeds
- return the average time the thread survives

Irony -"an incongruity between the situation [...] and the words used by the characters that only the audience can see."

the incongruity is in your disparaging of mathematicians while directly benefiting from their work, and your forced ignorance of the situation. w/e im done responding to your bait, there's no way you're really that retarded.

Asteroid passing near earth April 28, but of course they can't seem to pinpoint estimated time or exact area of earth nearest to the fly by.

Useless to predict if they don't know where.

Why is this such a hard problem?

Would she look young if she just grafted some poor Chinese kids skin onto her face?

is it entirely just that her skin has lost its tightness? (if we ignore sagging breasts etc)

With a cosmetic industry in the several trillions... and it entirely dedicated to making women look younger and thus more fuckable... how are they still failing? Is it deliberate as if they solved it they wouldn't be able to sell products?

I swear people who think this have either completely forgotten their childhood or never met a real woman in their 20s. When I was in high school all the girls were covered in acne, had frizzy hair and bad makeup. You think those are better looking than women in their 20s who have gotten into yoga, are in shape and have nice make up and hair? The only women you know are celebrities who have had makeup and hair stylists since they were kids. go outside and meet a real women for once you fucking loser

when designing a building in a third world country, do civil engineers consider a car with a very loud sound system might pass near the building and somehow shatter the concrete a little with the sound?

the engineers are busy laughing at the physicists for trying to build tokamaks based on ideal gas models of stellar fusion while the NIF shatters their records with ICF by accident (physicists like to trot out the fact H-bombs work as evidence we understand how stars fuse without really acknowledging the fact they are ICF devices and stellar fusion models rely on "gravitational collapse fusion" that they try to imitate and consistently fail at in MCF devices)

and wondering why the cosmologists are so fucking terrified of electromagnetism because their precious theories fall to pieces if you don't - like they did decades ago - just assume all matter is electrically neutral at large scales and never look back.

or, case in point, Planck's photon energy equation because PLANCK BAKED A UNIT CONVERSION ERROR INTO THE DEFINITION OF A PHOTON AND IT'S STILL THERE TREATING THE SECOND IN Hz AS A FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTY OF THE UNIVERSE IN THE FOUNDATIONAL EQUATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS - i'm sorry, what was i saying? oh, yeah, i like engineers. theorists are poopoo

Yes, this is one of the first things you get taught I imagine. I learned this as a concept in high school and it properly in Materials course at university and I didn't even do civil engineering, you can bet its hammered in in civil engineering degrees given how many bridges a few decades ago broke down because they didn't consider the bridge's natural frequency.

I'm really dumb, just believe me on that one. My parents are like this too. How did my ancestors survive with brains like this? How are our genes still propagating? There's no trait like height or attractiveness we have either. Our family is full of highschool dropout alcholics, felons, chronic stoners, criminals, just the dumpster fire of humanity. How did my family's ancestors survive with these shitty brains and bodies? Why?

They didn’t. Your family can do it because of dysgenic policies like welfare and too advanced healthcare. If your ancestors came from places with hot climates or cold climates that didn’t practice agriculture, they could get away with a low IQ, though.

You can't reduce natural selection, you can only change what is being selected for/against. Civilization is just a different kind of environment, and it still selects for things. If murderers are executed or imprisoned for life, then over time people with traits that make them more likely to murder will get filtered. If laws are applied selectively and productive people are taxed to subsidize unproductive people, then over time people with traits that make them good at exploiting this system will gain an advantage and spread at the expense of the people sacrificing to maintain it etc. When women start having 8 kids to 3 different "babydaddies" and single motherhood starts becoming the norm, that is just because we have created an environment that favors this kind of behavior.
