I graduated two years ago with a Biomedical engineering degree. I am still unemployed, should I just kill myself at this point?

>>13514963 There's loads of threads about IQ now I look for them, you're right. People really seem to find it a fascinating subject. I guess the scientific explanation for this would be that intelligence can bring a person status, so a high IQ is like a special status for some.
Also, I'm genuinely sick of incel shit on every single board. It's even in the news in my country today. Some incel commited a mass shooting which is basically unheard of here. It's a social contagion and I just wish some guys weren't so god damn gullible and full of anger.

I will open with an idea.
Humans would benefit from a system of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis on a societal basis. Would you approve or disprove of a society which promotes such technology as a way of improving a societies health? The system would screens for disease and select unaffected zygotes/uses CRISPR to remove the "genetic defect" to produce "healthy offspring"?

>>13514932 Your post is stupid and self-contradiction.
Why do you argue that IQ is what makes people intelligent, then turn right around saying people with 160+ IQ are saying stupid things when they contradict your personal beliefs? What's your IQ? I would guess it's significantly higher than the average? I have a hunch, that someone so vehemently defending that IQ is a measure of ability to produce meaningful results, have never achieved any real results and strongly believe(Against all evidence) that their high IQ means that they some day will.
I get the feeling you'd be a perfect example of high IQ people being retarded and useless.

Let's say that i have seen someone just die about 20 minutes ago and the emergency responders told us that the woman had epilepsy and died of heart failure. Is this possible? She just fucking dropped out of nowhere. She was about 40 years old.
Is epilepsy really this deadly?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
I'm no doctor but i'd say that it's possible. There is a reason for epilepsy warnings because epilepsy can cause some serious physical harm. You can probably find details on wikipedia about age and deadliness but yeah they are probably not lying to you

The most prevalent cause of sudden death in the general population is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). SCA may contribute to the increased incidence of sudden death in people with epilepsy." kinda wild how your heart is kept going by a limit cycle oscillator that sometimes just stumbles for no reason and then you fucking die

Took an official test to see if I could join Mensa. It was partially at my associate's request as he has always joked that I must be gifted with the amount of headway I made in my nanotech research the past 2 years alone.
I have always had a high opinion of myself since middleschool when my counselor put me in an accelerated program and my family began to tell me I was "smart".
I had no real ego before then so I desperately latched onto this quick-witted, intelligent persona to fuel me through university and grad school.
This landed me scholarships, esteemed writing awards, engineering project competitions placements, and more as I felt I was really making a name for myself.
After all these years, I have found that my IQ is a mere 110. Maybe I'm just the definition of "fake it 'till you make it", mixed with hardwork and strong communication skills (both technical and informal); maybe, I'm just not the hot shit I thought I always was.
How should I move forward from this?
History tells us it's the image for what it is remembered/represented that matters more than the reality. Perhaps I'll just take that lesson to heart?
Any similar anons had a reality check like this?

>>13515060 >I'd be excited if I scored 100 on an IQ test because that would mean that IQ didn't account for my intellectual success No, that would mean your success doesn't mean shit because the one thing that actually predicts how good people are at stuff doesn't predict success at the things you did well in. Therefore it's piss easy but nobody else cares, which means you have spent a lot of time and effort chasing something meaningless.
Any meaningful metric will be dominated by the best. If randos can reach the top, it's a non-competitive metric with no value.

>>13514066 It doesn't make sense. What is the point of being obsessed with IQ scores. What matters is what you have achieved and how much you are satisfied with your life. My IQ is similar to you, 107, just as I thought, I am average. But I did the test out of curiosity, it didn't matter to much for me. I am just happy that I hard work and succeed at what I am doing.
I think it's due to people wanting to feel different and superior because they achieved more.

All the proof theory books seem to use sequent calculus. Why can't they use the more natural system where proofs are just lists of statements which are either axioms of follow from the previous ones from MP?
Seems like it would be much simpler and natural. It's a pain in the ass to memorize all the LK rules.

/lit/izen here: I fucking hate that I’m a low spatial iq retard who could never finish a bachelors in STEM. I regularly find myself internally seething at coworkers who discuss their majors in STEM and even though I find philosophy and literature infinitely more fulfilling, because normies don’t read books, I will just sit there like a retard nodding at their conversations without being able to interject with my interests. I wish I could have majored in STEM, not because I would enjoy it, on the contrary, but just to prove that I could do it if I wanted to. How do I cope with this?
Anonymous
>>13514773 I think there are two channels for spatial thinking : visual and physical. You can imagine pictures (visual) or you can imagine a physical movement, for example moving your hand. If you have issues with one you could potentially switch to the other. Hard to change these habits though.
Potentially there might be ways to offload to auditory imagination, but I have no clue.
These topics are whole scientific fields to invent anyway.

Do the vaccines reduce transmission of SARS-COV-2?
Anonymous
>>13515091 does 'infection' here mean you've been innoculated with sars-cov-2? or does it mean you're displaying covid-like symptomts?
Anonymous
>>13514126 Yes.
Viral loads are similar at first, but they decrease faster in the vaccinated, reducing transmission over time.

can u link me to that study though? I'm curious if they were comparing a vaccinated breakthrough case to an unvaccinated initial infection (which of course would be more severe since they have no antibodies)
