How did humans become so sexually diverse? There’s gays, bi, pansexual, people who don’t even really have a way they like to describe their sexuality. Beyond that, kinks for everything you can imagine. Kinks for things that aren’t even healthy, so common there’s people like chubby chasers. Then there’s things like pedophiles, necrophilia, bestiality and so much more going on. How did we end up this way? What purpose could this has served or been an effect of?

>>14321812 Traditional social norms are put in place for the survival of group or tribe, for instance: beat women for being emotional and retarded, sex for more population, etc so homosexuality and meme sexualities are discouraged. But as survival becomes less of an issue and societies become safer people stray from this and start fucking for fun and because the previous values have eroded over time, they become more accepted.
However these have negative results as these philias lead to harmful things in society. STDs, pedophilia, and hedonism.

The logic went something like this:

I've been studying physics for who knows how long. Still, whenever I open a high school physics book I find exercises that make me scratch my head. And it's always Newtonian mechanics. I've clearly skipped that part when I was in high school.
I realized I'm probably too dumb to study physics. However, instead of giving up and finding something easier, I picked up the high school text book and decided to force myself to understand the parts that give me trouble.
Currently wondering what the fuck happens when you stand on a scale as an elevator goes down and decelerates. The scale now shows a larger number. Let's say you weigh 62,0 kg, now the scale says 74,3 kg. What's the acceleration of the elevator? My reasoning is in pic related.

I genuinely struggle with the basics so secretly I get high school textbooks and practice at home.

>>14324201 Thank you. I used to have a friend who was high IQ and he could just intuitively solve all of these in his head. He didn't make any methodical equations or calculations, he just knew what would happen in that situation.
I always criticized his intuitive approach because it's not scientific to me, but because it was impressive, I sort of tried to follow the same path until I realized all the textbooks recommend you do it methodically and mathematically starting from F_net = m*a.
Another huge problem I have is that I have near photographic memory. In high school I never learned to think because I could memorize the solutions to the problems and simply print them on paper in the test. Part of me believed that I had understood what I had read. But after a couple of years I was in uni and realized that I hadn't understood anything at all. This was a humbling realization.

when the age of discovery happened in europe , whole nations wealth where put on the line in hopes of riches. countless died, but now we eat potatoes and tomatoes with our dinner so it all balances out in the end. people died out on the frontier. and on earth atleast we have somwhere to put our feet and the cardinal directions. just becuase man was not ment to fly, doesn't meant he has no right right too or that he shouldn't do it. but men really are not ment to go to outerspace. so its an expoenetional risk on earth you can run away and end up where you stared if you go far enough. in space you just go and hope of the best and summon the vigilence of all your discipline and skill

>>14323009 depends on what you mean by colonizing (to what extent). also, doing that is very hard from a technical standpoint and also very expensive. and any extended effort heavily relies on logistics. since the start of mars missions in the 70's, we still have yet to obtain a sample of martian soil and get it back to earth, that is how difficult it is. about 50% of all mars missions have so far ended in failure, complete or partial. just look at this shit:

As in, what are the concepts, constants, and interactions that have no known internal mechanisms that cause it?
Is the ratio of a circle to its radius pi for a reason? Would it be reasonable to expect the ratio be the same for all of existence?
Is there a way to predict the properties of hypothetical elements? As in, if we didn’t discover Uranium, would it be possible to predict that an element with 92 protons would be radioactive, can react in all the ways uranium is known to act, and has the spectral lines that uranium is known to have? Or is this unknown and
we, at the moment, have to treat it as a “just is” emergent property?

>>14323100 Everything in the universe, "just is", the names and value judgements assigned to them are socially created. You've essentially put your cart before the horse, epistemologically speaking. These names and concepts are invented to describe phenomena that are already in existence.
As far as we know, the physical laws of the universe remain constant through eternity. I think it's tempting to say that some of them apply to every conceivable universe. Mathematics, for instance, certainly exists in the exact form it takes now for every conceivable universe, timeline, etc. because the relations of math emerge from definitions established separate from physical laws of the universe itself.

>>14323100 >>14325054 The value of pi can be set to 1 and everything else should be derived from this base unit since there are no certainties or absolutes in the physical universe, only in abstract thinking. Sure the number 4 cannot easily be expressed with pi but it doesn't "exist" other than in your head. You see 4 cars and feel the need to quantify it as "four different entities" but the universe is just one big mesh of quantum fields that do not give a fuck about your primate brain making an arbitrary cut in reality between metal, paint and air.

Is learning math the same as learning a new language? Does this mean it would be easier for young children to learn topics such as logic and group theory compared to adults?

>>14322053 Generally no. Math IS a language, but it's a language which describes abstract ideas. Children can learn a language, sure, but it takes far longer for them to comprehend more abstract ideas such as concepts like "loyalty" or "happiness", these are intangible ideas which no matter how much you teach them, children only learn them within set developmental windows. It's the same thing with math, they have a limited capacity for understanding abstraction. Children are pretty much limited to comprehending the very most basics like algebra, which is coincidentally what we teach them.
Funny thing is now that I think about it, most of the most successful mathematicians made their best contributions at an older age, around 24-30.
