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?

How would the brain react if all of its methods of stimuli (hearing, taste, touch, etc) were cut off but it was kept alive?

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.

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

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.
