Where did /poll/ get it's inbreeding or low genetic variation is good? Scientifically and also evident in real life mixtures and distant genetics of two parents make the best offspring. Infact this myth even extends to every person of any political position. Why is this?

>>13511879 That's the point. The scientists who do these things can do whatever the hell they want. A few years of developing organisms in secret and you can literally make wasps that release toxic gas enough to incapacitate people in seconds. Make a large enough swarm and you can wipe out entire populations of people.

>>13511885 It's a huge problem, but that doesn't make genetic modification the issue here. The problem here is politics and economics at work. Conflicts of interest.
This is why we have to really educate people, no matter how futile that is, on such subjects in detail.
I can see why gamification could be considered a solution here, but it itself causes problems.

Is there a biochemical connection from being fat to having a small dick? Meaning the hormones or genes that predetermine your dick size also influence your metabolism. Or is it just a coincidence that you always see small dicks on fat guys?

El Arcón
Newton had the biggest quantum leap in thinking. There was nothing stopping anyone from inventing calculus for 1000 years before Newton but no one did it until he did, unless you count Leibniz. Everything since then has built on Newton in a steady incremental march but basically nothing was happening in theory before Newton. Newton was lucky to have had the data of the Galilean astronomers, so I guess that was actually an advantage he had over a lot of people in the preceding millennium. TLDR: Newton's leap to a new conceptual understanding was the biggest, by a long shot. Usually leaps to new understanding are very small.

So modern science is all "theories". What if they all turn out to be wrong in like, let's say the next century, or even just decades?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>13510171 It isn't even just theories that can be wrong. Measurements themselves can be wrong. Polaris is contested to be closer than originally thought. This sort of thing is problematic if you think about calibration and what it actually means to look out at galaxies greater distance away. Science has always been fine, but it has to fuck out of politics and stop pretending to answer any question imaginable.

Most of modern science is not actual theories and really just pure conjecture and hypothesis left to convolute and cause more problems for the next poor sap down the line. Who will probably do the same thing once it come down to performing an actual test on said hypothesis.

and that's okay
theories aren't actually supposed to be truths about how the universe works, but simply models that help explain natural phenomena (just like

knowing these truths is (unfortunately) impossible because of the problem of induction

>>13511713 JUsr start with any good introductory book and see if you like it.
There really is no reason to make these extended lists. Just a form of procrastination. Just start studying that one book now. If you have a list of 50 books you will jsst get frustrated.
Once you finish your first book think about the second one.

Your friend is also sending you a bunch of dumbass books you dont need. Literally no one starts with logic. Go look at your state uni math curriculum and follow that. Better yet since you're not in a curriculum, just study the maths you like, thats literally it. Really like binomial coefficients? get a combinatorics text and learn all the identities and solve the word problems.

You really only should consider them when problems are so bad you can't even get out of the bed in the morning to do stuff.
Even then, it's not a great drug. I think it is an archaic solution to such a problem.
