What should I dedicate all of my time to get good at?

>It will come in handy when you decide to do something actually worthwhile Which means I was not implying he should devote all his life to math, but while he looks for something to do acquiring some math skills would be a good idea ad interim.

I've been told by several keto adherents that saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease and that the vast amount of research showing an associating between saturated fat intake and heart disease is shoddy observational science.

I ate some red meat every day for 2 weeks while on a low calorie keto diet. Started getting gout symptoms. Make sure to diversify.

Saturated fat and red meat don't seem to actually be harmful according to the most recent science, that doesn't mean they're good for you.

None. I haven't heard a convincing argument for learning math past puberty. Why should rack my brain over the? I could just masterbate or fuck all day instead. I think most mathtards have a low sex drive.

It's really nice. But like every other mental training exercise, it only works if you are really trying at it.

>>13681451 Do you believe in unicorns? I have never seen them.
Ant the issue with God is not something limited to your eyesight. There is simply no good reason to believe in him. I can't see electrons but I believe in electricity because I have experienced indirect evidence of its existence. There seems to be no evidence of God's existence, neither direct nor indirect. People who claim to have had mystical experiences may be lying since their claims can't be reliably reproduced (unlike what happens with electricity and other natural phenomena). Religious people interpret all kinds of coincidences through the lens of "God is giving me a sign" but then they can't come up with a coherent explanation of why some earthquake in Indonesia kills thousands of innocent people.

Quoted By:
>>13681580 Given any evidence of gradual progression, no matter the true explanation behind it, you could do some handwaving and say it's compatible with evolution. When faced with baffling phenotypes, you either invent some completely unverifiable story to explain how it could be advantageous, or simply dismiss it as a "spandrel".

How would a being made of photons experience the passage of time?
Anonymous
>>13680336 From the perspective of the speed of light, those photons are an instantaneous transfer of energy between the lamp and your eye, and the part of the lamp that emits the photon and the part of your eye that absorbs it occupy the same space. Lorentz contraction means that for a photon, the universe flattens to an infinitely thin plane orthogonal to its zero-dimensional "path."

>>13680360 If the universe length contracts to a plane then isn't there distance along the plane?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13680453 That's from the perspective of a just a single photon, whose "path" is a point on that plane.
Compile all the photons in existence (and don't forget the massless particles which ultimately comprise all matter) with all the directions they're "traveling," and everything condenses down to a dimensionless point that has a mathematical structure representing all causal interactions in the total history of the universe.

Quoted By:
It would be born and die in the same instance. Strictly speaking a photon reference frame does not physically exist, but if you take the equations at face value a photon simply does not experience a progression of time. Everything happens in an instant, or everything happens forever - whichever way you prefer to picture it.
