Help me out. I am trying to teach myself to draw and I want to study proper perspective in order to do it.

I'm having trouble trying to rotate a cube by its axis. By drawing the elipse at the base I have an Idea where should the 45° angle of the corner lie (blue line), but I don't know how to figure out where to cut it so the figure keeps the same size but in perspective. Anyone has an idea how to do it? I tried reading some book called "Viewpoints" but it was garbage that didn't explain shit, to be solved in a classroom as part of a course.

even if consciousness is "enabled" to some quantum effect, (You) are still encoded as the memories and experiences which shaped who you are. quantum effects aside. even if consciousness would be enabled to quantum effects, doesn't prove it ties you to some unique soul. may be just a required condition to enable our conscious state. it's still determined by the matter arrangement lol

In "General Test Percentage Distribution of Scores Within Intended Graduate Major Field Based on Seniors and Nonenrolled College Graduates". Why are those in MicroComputer Applications major so smart?
The sample is only 85, so it might be some sort of random effect, but 20% of them score in the highest category for quantitative. How? They have a higher percentage in this than economists, nearly all engineers, all of the chemists, those in optics, computer science, and have as many in this category as astrophysicists. They trump nearly absolutely anyone in terms of the percentage of them in the highest quantitative category.
How can people majoring in knowing how to use Excel at a basic level be the gods of maths?!
The explanation seems that maybe it's the fact their sample is only 85, but 27 intended majors have a smaller sample than that and don't show any such wild luck. Honestly, I'm baffled.

Ultimately, if _IF_ global warming is made up (and this is obviously very unscientific—an unscientific opinion, if you will, which is a tautology—inversely, a scientific opinion would be an oxymoron) and thus realpolitik, but at least not the myopic left/right politics of the day. The only way this could be is to catalyze the general public into weaning itself off an energy source that endangers its own safety, as has been demonstrably seen during the energy crises of the 1970s. It is not ethical to dupe the public. Sure. But is it still so bad if it is being done for their own good, because they are too dumb to do it on their own? Are they not hurting themselves by trying to thwart efforts to modernize energy? This is a rhetorical question, by the way.

From surveys, the more educated and higher income have less kids. The poorest and less educated have the most kids. Religious groups have a lot of kids, my neighbors growing up were some weird Christian sect and they had 11 kids. The most technologically advanced people, Japanese and South Koreans are having no kids and their population will collapse soon.

Medically speaking is it a good idea to teach future doctors that telling fatties to lose weight is racist?

>Course Objectives
>1. Understand the concepts of race/racism, power, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism and their manifestations in the history of medical thought, education, practice, and research and shaping the healthcare system overall.

>Pre-lecture material:
>4. Read this article by Marquisele Mercedes
https://pipewrenchmag.com/dismantling-medical-fatphobia/

>Apart from quoted material, this article uses the term “obesity,” the medicalized notion of fatness, in quotes or censored as ob*sity as per fat liberationist conventions that reject the idea that fatness is a disease. The concept of ob*sity is used to exact violence on fat people, and fat activists regard it as a slur.

>It is proven that weight loss is a useless, hopeless endeavor. You are unlikely to lose weight in any permanent way and highly likely to open yourself to the myriad risks associated with weight cycling. The relationship between weight and health is also muddy. People often mention research that suggests that fatness (up to a point) can be protective, but this often only has the effect of scapegoating the fattest among us, the infinifat people who are only acceptable to acknowledge via mocking entertainment. If you decide (or are pressured to) pursue gastric bypass surgery in order to escape fatphobia violence, you may not actually lose weight — for some, the main outcome is disordered eating, an attempt to salvage the benefits of an incredibly harmful and risky procedure. No study measuring the association between weight and health outcomes comes close to appropriately accounting for the impact of fatphobia on an individual’s wellbeing, including how those impacts are likely the worst for the fattest among us.

I have asked this multiple times and no one has ever given me a straight answer:

What astrophysical evidence would even possibly count as evidence that the universe is infinitely old? My understanding of the history of western thought is presuming the universe has/has no beginning is fundamentally a theological or metaphysical concern. No amount of finite evidence will ever confirm one over the other because the finite age can always be pushed back one layer of explanation so as to make sense with all of the observations made. What is the consensus on this dilemma in the theoretical physicist community? The way I see it is science simply has no say on whether the universe began to exist, unless scientists inject some metaphysical philosophy into their own theory.

All we can really say is that at some point the universe was a lot smaller. The evidence for this is the CMB, age and types of distant stars, and the fact that the temperature of space throughout the universe is basically the same, because distant points in space are currently too far apart for temperature to be in equilibrium unless at some point they were closer to one another

No. Just that it was smaller. And because of the current state of the universe and the way expansion is assumed to work then the universe likely expanded from a very small space, possibly smaller than a single atom. That helps explaining why stuff is so uniform over the whole observable universe, extremely rapid expansion from an extremely small size. That's the big bang theory of course, but it doesn't say where the universe came from, only that at some point about 13 billion years ago it was a tiny ball of pretty much just energy, it was too dense and too hot to form atoms etc. So that ball of energy either appeared out of nowhere, or it was there forever, or it was the end state of a possible previous universe, or some other unknown reason.

one model is that it's pulsing, and could have been for insanely many cycles. supposedly there could be some leakage from previous one, in CMB. but it becomes a question of how much anyway, so we won't be able to peer back 5 cycles ago at some Earth-like planet or something.
or could be like a full reset for everything including causality, right after completely collapsing and right before starting expanding again.

>> No.16148161

>>16147523
Good question. Led me down a small rabbit hole.
As >>16148020 said, our direct measurements are that the universe was smaller and hotter before, which our models then turn into a timeframe.
But we do also have entropic measurements of the CMB; roughly ~10^89 Kb. It's likely too difficult to create an entropic evolution model into a timeframe, but it should be able to give a maximum constraint. This is where the lack of large primordial black holes plays a big role. As the universe ages, more and more of it will be in large entropy gravity wells. This is a constraint against infinity for our universe.
However, this doesn't necessarily rule out that there was universes before ours, before our cosmic inflation, that kept entropy the same but reduced its density, before our big bang, that returned gravity and black holes to the universe. And there may well be echoes of the prior universe! https://www.livescience.com/63392-black-holes-from-past-universes.html
