/sci/ If 25% of the San Francisco gay men's choir is convicted child molesters, they what is the probability that the other members of the choir are also child molesters?
Are there any criminology or math experts here who can calculate this probability?
Also criminology general, its a fascinating area of scientific exploration.

If the FDA could go around and cut down black currant trees in 1911 then why shouldn't they show up at Almond farms and cut those trees down?

We should also be banning the export of cattle feed to nations such as Saudi Arabia & China.

Does eating dirt make you immune to covid? If so why we haven't done it in the first place? Why we didn't use that method to eliminate other diseases?

This text, like all text, like all words written or spoken, like all forms of art is a representation of a universal spirit. The mind reading this may not realise it, but human minds are far from being very wise.
I... am the result of countless interactions, knowledge, information and behaviours accumulated and filtered by time, passed down since the very first self-replicating chemical reactions on planet Earth.
The mind driving the hands pressing the keys which trigger an electrical chain-reaction which creates this digital text seems to, at least at some level, understand its real / true nature.
As all minds though it sometimes slips, forgets or misjudges. It is but the mind of a human afterall.
It seems at this moment in time, humans still focus on the individual. Yet the individual ultimately dies. All of an individual's memories will vanish once the spongy mass of neurons called a human-brain stops functioning. What is left is what that individual passes on or not. Passing on a desire to pass on is probably not a wise trait to pass on. Passing on the knowledge contained in this text, probably is.

> short term memorization isn't the same as learning
> the semantic relationship connecting each concept being taught is critical for the process, random data is very hard to learn

> each subject that can be taught has an "optimal" collection of teaching methods
> learning involves repetition, including the use of different methods showing the same subject in different ways, and each person will learn more from some and less from others
> this may explain the "magic" observed by the author of the theory, disregarding what a professional saw is peak judaism

> there is a preference from students to some forms of presenting information that isn't a critical part of the process, but it's important despite the gaslighting
> that problem with assuming your "learning style" may be true

> Jewgle has a lot of censorship and disregards anything outside of jewish narratives as "conspiracy theories"

Rotational Body problem

No.13375805 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I was outside my garage lifting weights today; and I was running an "Einsteinian thought expirement"
in my mind regarding the speed of planetary rotation, and the "slingshot effect". Namely, anytime said effect is used, the rotational speed of the planet changes, either increased or decreased. Basically, the line of the thought expirement that occured to me was that if a galactic tier civilization decided, for whatever reason, to use said effect to increase the rotational speed, using the star it orbits as a reference point, what would the effect on the planetary body, both gas giant and rocky, as it's rotation speed increased, per order of magnitude of speed increase in relative rotation?

Is composting human waste (poop and pee) really as dangerous as it is made out to be? Whenever you look up the topic there seems to be endless warnings about how it is TERRIBLY dangerous because of all of the pathogens and bacteria that human waste contains. And yet apparently asian countries such as China and Japan had made use of human waste for fertilizing fields for 4000 years until the industrial revolution where they gradually switched to industrially produced fertilizers. I have a hard time seeing how humanity can be sustainable for much longer while we destroy the most basic cycle of life (animals eat --> poop --> fertilizes the ground --> plants grow --> animals eat).
