why does everyone hate him, I like listening to his show even if it retreads stuff a lot of the time :]
>>16154325shut up fatty
>>16177971He's easy to hate because he's just a spokesman and entertainer, the "front door" of academia so to speak. Easiest to throw eggs and paper rolls at.

>>16162805>immediately things about sucking dicks for no reason whatsoeveri get that you are gay but i never even asked in the first place.
I feel as if I am going insane. I have been researching consciousness for the past year, and I have found myself in a position where I am back at square one. Even after all that I have researched and the knowledge I have inquired, I am adamant with the new mysterian position that the hard problem of consciousness and the binding problem are ultimately unsolvable.I'm curious about your perspective. What is the essence of consciousness? What are the implications it has for our perception of reality, the nature of subjective experience, and death?
>>16182258>Name one animal besides Homo Sapien Sapien who has proposed a philosophical questionThat isn't what consciousness is dumbfuck.It's being aware of your own existence in some capacity. You have a few tests for that.For example -1) The pain self-medication test.Animals aware of their own pain will preferentially seek out feed laced with pain reducing medications.2) The mirror test.Animals aware of their own appearance will recognize their reflection as belonging to them.All mammals and birds pass test (1), only some pass test (2).No invertebrates, fish, reptiles or amphibians pass either test.
>>16182266>So says a low IQ midwit....so it must be true.You admitted that nobody agrees with what you just said. No reputable scientists, no laymen hobbyists. No-one.>It's the foundation of all Quantum PhysicsLol, said the idiot with a new-age hippy mystical understanding it.>The wave function exists in all forms until the observer interacts with it.In other words, nothing more than Newton's first law of motion.It's impossible to physically observe anything without physically interacting with it.>Only then does the Universe manifest the function as either a particle or a wave, never before the observer interacts. Thus we know, for a fact, that lacking an observer(consciousnesses) The wave function does not collapse and thus never becomes reality. Science proves that reality only exists once we humans look at it.That isn't what your wiki article says dumbfuck lol.Holy shit, stop taking drugs and please just stick with religion you unbearable genetic reject.
>>16182094my intuition says that consciousness is inherent and present in everything, that structures of things are structures of consciousness, and that identity is located NOT in physical space, but in ideal space e.g. there is a platonic (You), and some part of your brain is an approximation of that platonic (You) structure
>>16182281>my intuition says that consciousness is inherent and present in everythingHow in the absolute fuck would you "intuitively" come up with that?A rock doesn't have a nervous system you stupid fuck.>that structures of things are structures of consciousnessThat makes absolutely zero sense. You don't even know what consciousness means. Sounds like you overdosed on DMT and your hallucinations told you that everything is one grand consciousness etc, or you're just schizophrenic.>and that identity is located NOT in physical spacePeople lose consciousness when they are punched in the head.>there is a platonic (You), and some part of your brain is an approximation of that platonic (You) structurePure meaningless gibberish.
>>16182291(You) never lose consciousness, though. and how can (You)? (You) can only ever be aware, you can never be unaware, almost by definition.
Is it genetic?
If the white murder rate were as strong as the black murder rate, the minorities problem would have long since been solved. Nobody except negroes live in negro neighborhoods because the negores murder anyone who tries to move into their territory.
>>16182027>This is truly why racism and prejudiced existsThe situation is what it is because of racism/white supremacy, not the other way around.The post-depression New Deal programs of the US were earmarked for those classified as white.For example, when my grandfather came back from World War 2, his GI bill was only good in the ghettos of the various towns he tried to move to. The realtors were blackballed from selling a nigger a house in a white community. Even if the realtors weren't white supremacists, they still couldn't, because federal housing appraisal guidelines proscribed that all neighborhood housing values fall if a nigger moves in.
>>16182239Looks like you are mixing a number of things together here. The Indian claims are ineffective if you are discussing blacks. The rewards 150 years ago to some people are completely irrelevant to people growing up in the same region, same schools, same jobs, and yet crime propensity is much higher.Don't be assblasted that banks, companies, and individuals were making decisions based on statistical likelihood of people not paying their mortgages, rent, and other knock-on effects. Such disdain for obvious forward thinking is exactly why such people are unlikely to succeed.Why isn't there any quantitative data listed on here?
>>16182027No, its both. Culture isn't magic from thin air. It comes from genetics that influence parental behaviors, relational behaviors, etc. It manifests in the way puberty works too. Bigger brain usually takes longer to mature, hence Asians are few years later in puberty than whites. And whites are few years later than blacks. Thats not to say you cant change culture, you need a strong external influence to change the direction of the current cultural state. Whether thats by taking over (White colonization of africa) or by regulatory framework done through state laws. Results we want to see in the society should ideally drive the laws we create, but in reality short sighted feelings drive laws and it has been a disastrous event unfolding
In Africa they eat each other but also Haiti. They don't do that here because of goyslop
Let's say hypothetically that we took our stock solar system and replaced the 4 gas giants with a low end red dwarf star like Proxima Centauri, giving the two stars roughly 15 AU of separation (and leaving the inner solar system unchanged).How different would the climate on Earth be because of this? It would still receive the overwhelming majority (i.e 99%) of stellar radiation from the main sun, with the other sun being just a bit brighter than a full moon.
about three fifty
>>16180813>It would still receive the overwhelming majority (i.e 99%) of stellar radiation from the main sun, with the other sun being just a bit brighter than a full moon.OK>How different would the climate on Earth be because of this?no difference
>>16180813Surprisingly, this wouldn't necessarily destabilize Earth's orbit.To answer the question: Proxima Centaui luminosity = 0.0017 sols. That's basically how much less light Earth would receive if it was orbiting Proxima at 1 AU. At its closest approach to Earth at 14 AU distance (when they are on the same side of the sun), it would be 196 times weaker than that, so 0.00000867346 sols. That is an absolutely negligible contribution. If a planet was in orbit around Proxima alone at a semi-major axis of 14 AU, it would be colder than a witches teet.
>>16180813Why do you want to know this?
I unironically would love to see a speculative alternative history of the American space program and its missions to the red dwarf.Just for fun I'd have two planets orbiting the dwarf, including one in the habitable zone with water.

>>16182230First, let's clarify what we're discussing. The goal is to understand the efficiency of a system using resonance to enhance energy transfer, which might seem to challenge conventional physics principles but doesn't actually violate them.Principles of ThermodynamicsFirst Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation of Energy):Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.In any closed system, the total energy remains constant.Second Law of Thermodynamics:In any energy transfer, some energy is lost as waste heat, increasing entropy.No process is 100% efficient; there are always losses.Addressing the System EfficiencyResonant LC Circuit:A resonant LC circuit can improve energy transfer efficiency by minimizing reactive power losses.This doesn't violate thermodynamics; it optimizes energy transfer within the system.Power Measurement:The power gain calculated shows an apparent gain due to efficient energy transfer but doesn't imply over-unity or perpetual motion.Comment too long.

Another thing that is important is that newbies have to learn to put in the long hours like you never had to do before, but don't wear yourself out too much, sleep and whatnot.
Just to be clear to anyone considering this book who may be reading this board presently or in the future when the archive gets indexed; this book is a complete meme.I like the idea of an introductory, proof flirting method of teaching elementary and highschool math that isn't purely plug and chug, but this book is not that. The examples are horrendously formatted and many terms aren't defined or defined much later.

>>16181530Companies wanted a better educated workforce. They got it. Now they're mad.
>>16182035Lol no, AI is a fad. At best it will be just used as a tool to help engineers. Stop worrying about fad shit and get to grinding.
>>16182097>Lol no, AI is a fad.Heh heh... yeah.
>>16182035AI can't go out into the field, assess, and implement. The second AI makes a mistake that costs a life and it becomes legal precedent that a company is fully liable for the actions of AI, it'll be too cost prohibitive.
No. Still need a human connection just in case something goes wrong. Otherwise company would be liable. You will probably still see a reduction in workers though since AI does help speed up repetitive or well-established processes. It still has trouble creating novel solutions so creativity and ingenuity will still be much needed, even moreso in the future. I work in IT and data engineering and I use AI every day and it still isn't enough for the amount of work I have to do. I also use chatgpt4o as well. It still, to me, has a long way to go before completely replacing roles. Mangement is looking to cut costs and are jumping the gun with this AI hype. Best to get into the industry now and make connections.
In fact it's being proven true right now. The burden of proof lies on Simulation Theory denialists to prove it wrong at this point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oNy0L1wBt4Inb4 "But Decartes' evil demon told me it's real!"KEK, good luck with that blue pilled losers.
>>16182037Here is a great article so you all can stop beating up on the pajeet, who was born in the Midwest BTW. Most if not all the critiques of ST are dogmatic talking points that fall apart when pressed. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/confirmed-we-live-in-a-simulation/I'll try to download the book here and see what it says. Loads of info on the subject that you NPC's refuse to look at.
If we live in a simulation, then our universe should also have such an artifact. We can now begin to articulate some properties of this artifact that would help us in our search for such an artifact in our universe. The artifact is as an additional component of every operation that is unaffected by the magnitude of the variables being operated upon and is irrelevant within the simulated reality until a maximum variable size is observed. The artifact presents itself in the simulated world as an upper limit. The artifact cannot be explained by underlying mechanistic laws of the simulated universe. It has to be accepted as an assumption or “given” within the operating laws of the simulated universe. The effect of the artifact or the anomaly is absolute. No exceptions.Now that we have some defining features of the artifact, of course it becomes clear what the artifact manifests itself as within our universe. The artifact is manifested as the speed of light.Space is to our universe what numbers are to the simulated reality in any computer. Matter moving through space can simply be seen as operations happening on the variable space. If matter is moving at say 1,000 miles per second, then 1,000 miles worth of space is being transformed by a function, or operated upon every second. If there were some hardware running the simulation called “space” of which matter, energy, you, me, everything is a part, then one telltale sign of the artifact of the hardware within the simulated reality “space” would be a maximum limit on the container size for space on which one operation can be performed. Such a limit would appear in our universe as a maximum speed.
>>16182037I did not even post a single argument against simulation theory, just ones offending your intelligence and comprehension of the subject, so why would I call Nick Bostrom an idiot? Did you suffer from any severe brain damage post that IQ test?
Every time simulation theory comes up it becomes painfully obvious that no one involved with the subject has ever read philosophy. At best you'll get some faggot aping the Allegory of the Cave without having ever read Plato's actual dialogs.
>>16182058>just ones offending your intelligence and comprehension of the subjectIn the world of logical fallacy we call that an "Ad hominem" attack. Often retards, like yourself, resort to attacking the messenger on a personal level instead of rebutting the core logic of his/her arguments. Low IQ people do this because they have no real rebuttal to your points or logic thus must resort to emotional attacks in a vain attempt to distract and derail the discussion away from the facts, which can't be countered, and towards a tit-4-tat insult battle. So if you aren't here to refute ST, why are you here? Seriously. >>16182184Are you saying that about me? I read and promote philosophy often. All PhD's in science are based on philosophy. It's the core of all knowledge and the pathway to all answers. If you've got some recommended reading speak up. You will not only educate me but others reading this thread. So instead of half ass posting maybe full ass post. Make a critique and then offer a solution. The OP image is from Descartes and he's mentioned in the OP post. So no it's not all about Plato's cave.

you have to fake a few tests to be able to finish most of masters degrees in universitythe tests can be accomplished by using ADHD medication (or real amphetamine but then you have to eventually deal with the police) or by being the shut in type who study all day all night and has no social lifeguess which one all the students choose?the drug waybecause the drug users were able to get lowest scores on test that is still accepted as passed instead of having failed, they get their masters degreeesbecause they are super social drug users they also get the connectionsit is only these people who get the jobs, the shut in type who actually knows shit about his field is not getting a jobtherefore everyone who is now in his 30s-40s and has a masters degree in STEM and a relatively good job (not saying the pay is good but the job itself is) is actually a fraud they did not pass their tests fairthey arent intelligent enough to do the work they are now doing but they are the only ones doing it which is why everything falls apart in society scale
