I am convinced civil, mechanical and electrical engineering are the only respectful and apolitical STEM fields left, with civil being the most based of them all due to the construction chad crossover

thinking about that patient who had his corpus callosum severed and had a ghost hand, basically had his non-dominant side encoding and processing memory in paralell without his concious input a la multithreaded processing.
What are the problems if I made a braile producing device that stimulated your finger pad with mirrored verbage from an eye tracker while you're reading and consciously studying, then could switch to a sort of passive study mode where it basically would replay some of the stimulus. Would you consciously or unconsciously reprocess it and have implicit neural memory of it for the next time you consciously revisit? Full disclosure Im basically trying to turn my already pretty smart but totally squandered by 21st century suboptimality eskensazi jew genes into the most absurd giga quant in the next generation and this is a hack im thinking of applying while my kid develops.
any other actually confirmed iq hacks for ur kids aside from the obvious?

Why does astronomy have this massive crowd of cringey comic book tier fans, and all other sciences are comparatively ignored? How come nobody ever puts on an "I'm pondering dendrochronology" act to gain perceived character depth, why is it always astronomy and never terrestrial fields?

What is the origin of the adage saying rusty metal will give you tetanus? Is it something about oxidization or is it just a place where that disease can survive? Since it's a bacteria, it seems mysterious for it to be associated with rust.

>>14185059 My guess is that it's because rusty metal is likely to be in an unhygienic environment, and probably accumulates external dirt more easily (depending on condition of the surface).

The problem with Rust is it has a large surface area, which allows the growth of a much thicker biofilm where all kinds of bacteria can live.
I think that's the idea behind tetanus and rust.
The weird thing is the way I was told, broken glass can give you tetanus and potentially gangrene as well.
I don't think it's a wive's tale, there has to be something behind this association.

Do your teachers also get mad when you ask them something or is it just a third world thing?
It's odd, but from primary to uni, they take it like an insult and become infuriated by it, often calling you a retard for not paying attention and calling the whole class a lazy piece of shit before shortly afterwards going on a rant on how it's not his fault this generation is garbage and how it's not his responsibility to give classes to those who don't lisent.
And yes it's been personally so common and the speeches so repetitive and painfully long I've memorized their arguments, once i even saw one of those 30 year old whores straight up break down in tears because nobody had given her the high quality work she had expected from fucking highschoolers

If we take 15 as the standard deviation (15.5 might be more realistic), that puts you at about 1.7%
I think I recall hearing the average Navy Seal scores 134. I think I also read that Seal commanders need a Mechanical Engineering degree.
In any event, you've got enough IQ that it's not going to be the limiting factor for many endeavors. It sounds like you might want to work on discipline or finding a worthy goal.

>>14183420 This method already exists and it's called iodine fortification of salt. For the few regions of the world suffering from iodine-deficient soil you achieve absurd returns on investment if its thorough enough to reach the entire population. It's not what individual companies do but on the level of NGOs or state-level agencies.
A couple of cents per TON of salt is all it costs to remove the impact of iodine deficiency in childhood on IQ(15 points), even thirdies can afford that. It's speculated that the dominance of sea-faring nations on the global stage before the 20th century was primarily due to access to iodine-rich seafood, meaning they weren't intellectually disabled when the rest of the world were and could conquer them all.

what are your thoughts on picrel? recently i've started getting into heavy self-study of math and physics and i quite like it as a learning resource for the former so far (doing calc, statistics & probability, & brushing up on some gaps in my knowledge from earlier schooling)
though ofc relying on one resource isn't practical, and i can't say whether or not it's an adequate resource since i'm just a student atm

is it really possible to determine an ancestry just by looking from a face alone?
sure, maybe with ancient people like the germanic anglo-saxon tribes it was possible, but with humans today (pic related) they all look the same.

So I believe it's kinda hard to obtain such data, but when you will have it and access to enough computing power, it won't be hard for an average ML engineer to produce good guessing model.

>>14184591 I know it's Venom Snake but even the concept of using facial characteristics to approximate descent is too broad to yield any useful information aside from "that person looks Asian/Native American", "that person is probably descended from indo-european", or "that person is likely of african descent". For example, OP probably can't even differentiate between Australian aboriginals, Dravidians, and Africans despite them coming from different parts of the world.
