What caused all of the flu variants and lead to the yearly booster shot phenomenon? Around 48% of the population actually has the flu vaccine (unsure if this is over all or just for each year desu), so would the situation be similar to the cause of covid mutations, except for the low immunity period between shots?

"Autism" is a higher level of existence. The next step in evolution. Every autism awareness group employs propaganda (such as pic related) which convinces neurotypicals that they're autistic and deserve special treatment; while holding back actual "autistic" people by saying they're disabled and oppressed. Smart normies (the ruling class) know this. Others (the vast majority) then correlate "autism" with inferiority, when in fact it is superiority.
>Many interests
>High intelligence
>Either emotionless or ultra-empathetic
>Strong sense of objectivity
If "autistic" people are real then they are far superior to other people.
The pigeonholeing of "autistic" people is a ploy to hold back human evolution. Why else would things like electric shock therapy exist? It's to threaten and even kill the superior population.
Autism isn't real. But something is, and the smart normies call it autism. Again- If "autistic" people are real then they are far superior to everyone else. Most normies would be jealous if they knew the truth. So the smart ones among them lie.

I don't think autism is "a higher level of evolution" because most autistics are fat and/or ugly. Its a divergent level of evolution, autistic people could branch of from the rest of humanity if society broke down/they were isolated for awhile and fill the environmental niche of lumbering bears, hostile and unpredictable predators that gorge on berries and frighten villages.

Yo maybe your shitty next step in evolution shouldn't share a name with a crippling disorder, just a thought. Most autistic people do not function well and can't accomplish anything.

Anybody else observe pic related IRL all the time? Not religion specifically but just in general? Whenever I encounter a "smart" professional like a lawyer, doctor or engineer they are always the most arrogantly close minded people and extrapolate their intelligence across all areas. Meanwhile I watch a megabrain interview on youtube and they seem much more open to new ideas and humble about how much they don't know. Why is this?

Would you consider computers to have emergent systems? Simple parts interacting to give rise to complexity greater than the sum of those parts.
i.e. countless logic gates eventually culminating into the internet, videogames, or artificial intelligence.
I'm writing something on emergence and want to give some in depth examples but don't want to sound stupid using this as an example if its not one.
Some other examples I'm more confident about are economic markets, ant colonies and bird/fish flocking - but I'm trying to convey the idea that emergence is everywhere, not just in animals. I'm planning to mention consciousness as a possible example of emergence as well, if you subscribe to physicalism.

>>13496083 >This seems to fit into the systems of systems description that you gave, no? Yes, exactly.
Neural networks specifically and deliberately leverage the process of emergence to solve a trained task, often in unpredictable and novel ways:
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu56xVlZ40M So whilst emergence can manifest in any sufficiently complex system, there are indeed cybernetic systems designed specifically to foment and exploit emergent behaviours (see Stafford Beer's "pond brain" leveraging the emergent properties of the ecosystem of a pond as a homeostatic controller running a steel factory in lieu of a human management team), and GPT-3 is another excellent (and more modern but less fun) example of this.
To me, though, the whole point is that any emergent system, or artificial intelligence—soft or hard or GP or whatever—need not run on silicon at all; any sufficiently complex system is capable of it: our brains being the prime example.

>>13498775 The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Fuck and Suck".
But the real joke is on us. The joke being that people murdered half the world looking for philosophers stones and eternal youth when really there were several thousand of them just happily bobbing along in the ocean. Red tint and all. As if to mock the very notion of their conquests.

GE did a crap ton of internal research into harnessing lightning for power in the 1950's-1980's GE found that harnessing lightning for power was not worth attempting. So if that company, bent on profit, decided not to do it after 3 decades of trying, why do you think your idea is special? GE was trying to make capacitors the size of football fields to capture lightning. The first bolt that hit one of those capacitors, blew a hole in the cap, the size of a beach ball, and rendered it useless.

>>13495789 Have fun then, it's an interesting class. So long as you dont slack off you will be fine. Some people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the subject at first but if you take your time there's no worries. Personally I the first time I took it I told myself I'd learn the shit 3 days before the midterm thinking it would be easier and had to drop it due to atrocious marks. Some of my peers found calc 2 harder some found linear algebra harder. I re took it next semester and got like 96%, so Id recommend you get a good idea as to whether or not you have natural intuition for it or not asap and estimate how much study and work time you need. If you do this, you should get good marks.
