/sci/ - Science & Math

Those are some vague "skills", and seems to be filled with tautologies, for instance:
>... and innovation
>Creativity, originality...
They might want to put down the purple prose.

It's essentially nothing but misunderstanding on his part.

Lmao, imagine only being superior, instead of gifted.

kek do people not realize that if something has a probability of occurring then it can in fact occur, even though it is highly unlikely

>Statistics suggest

Followed by a statement where the statistics are grossly exaggerated or straight up misinterpreted

This imagine is so horribly racist, I actually revile your existence. You may not sully the Hippocratic oath with your hypocritic nonsense.

Okay, let's do some quick math, to disprove your bullshit again.
The Milky Way has 100–400 billion stars in it.
The average distance between stars in the Milky Way is 5 light-years.
So, 5*100,000,000,000=500,000,000,000 light-years, and that's the lower-band estimate.
The earliest life could have existed in the universe, it thought to be, at the maximum, for carbon-based life is 1-to-1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Which is, at the very best, 12.8 billion years ago.
Which means, even at the very best estimate, if complex life had started colonizing the Milky Way as soon as they started existing 12.8 billion years ago, they could have only gone 12.8 billion light-years.
Which means, they still have 487,200,000,000 light-years to travel, before they will have colonized the entire Milky Way.
So no, you're still wrong. We'd still have plenty of stars, even with me being overly generous and giving your theory the BEST odds possible.
Once again, you're an idiot, stop spouting this bullshit theory.

There isn't really any point in arguing with you, neo/sci/ folk, is there?

That's because you're an imbecilic philistine.

In the words of David Kellogg Lewis:
>It is not to be demanded that a philosophical (or in this case mathematical) theory should agree with anything that the man on the street would insist on offhand, uninformed, and therefore uninfluenced by any theoretical gains to be had by changing his mind. (Especially not if, like many men on the streets nowadays, he would rise to the occasion and wax wildly philosophical at the slightest provocation.)
As such, such texts are meant for scholars, and the scholastic language of that era was Latin (as it still is in some respects today).
That is why it wasn't written in English, because the layperson wasn't the intended audience. Nor should it be.

Lmao, fuck off, I hate neo/sci/ so much.

I also think he's underplaying the complexity of realy existing biology on that scale, look at a ribosome for instance.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bLEDd-PSTQ
I'd say that's plenty complex, and naturally so.

Above 145 IQ matters a lot less, and the validity of testing above this level is questionable. In other words, once you reach genius, it doesn't really matter anyway, you're just a genius.

Gosh, you're a real letdown. I'm simply unimpressed by this thread. I provide evidence and just attempt to restate it, as if I've given you nothing. I've given you studies, academic theories that are widely accepted and equally valid anecdotes disproving yours.
I'm done. You're worthless. This thread is worthless. And you at the very least, below average.
You're boring, I'm bored, good bye.

>Real scientists.
>Look at this infographic I found posted (normally on /pol), this must be true!
>Doesn't do any research, or experimentation to either prove or disprove it.
>"Real scientists".
Lmao, shut the fuck up, /pol/tard.

>>9971644
Hell, I'm from /pol/.
So, before actually reading the entire paper I read and then analyze the excerpt, or premise. If this doesn't conform to my worldview, I'll just call all the researchers either Jews, or Zionists, and then either post it on /pol/, if the research is weak enough to be lambasted by us, or simply hide it from my head-canon and go and read a passage from Mein Kampf.
Once I've posted it, should it be weak enough, and someone defends it. I call them and offending ShareBlue SJW shill and start posting racist memes, and a Pepes, whilst chanting:
>Praise Kek!
Should their argument be solid enough to offend me, as the article did, I shall become extremely butthurt and start doing as I always do. Attempting to deplatform them, via a mixture of harassment and racist triggering.
I do as Sun Tzu said, and emulate my enemy:
>The SJW

Doubtful, it'll probably be more cyber than anything else.
>ai
Meme, it'll never be sentient.
>volcano
Only for Ameritards and those nearby.
>ecosystems
No, we're actually starting to restore them now.
>crop failure
It would literally have to be global, otherwise we could just go and steal other peoples crops.
>economic collapse
Already happened (several times), didn't wipe out humanity.
>extraterrestrial bacteria
How? They probably wouldn't function in the same way once inside our host system. That is, if they even exist at all within this solar system.
>asteroids
Unlikely, just have some colonies in space, on Earth; on the Moon and maybe on Mars. Sorted.
>epidemic
Already happened a couple of times, didn't wipe out all of humanity.
>shrinking human brain
Is a meme, and if it is happening (inconclusive) then that's probably due to us removing redundancy as IQ hasn't dropped.
>superbugs
Also a meme, we've already promising solutions to this problem, like bacteriophages.
>solar wind
Also not really a problem, and a meme.
>gamma ray
See above.
>alien invasion
Stop memeing, this isn't very likely at all. And even if there isn't intelligent alien life near enough to us to matter, it is problem as intelligent as us, or less. Why? There isn't a shitload of waste radio chatter that would exist if alien life as intelligent as us, or more, existed in our neighborhood.
>andromeda and milky way collision
Literally billions of years away. And the Earth may not even get thrown out, or struck.
>heat death
We probably wont even be humans by that point.
>Supernova
By that point, even going slow as fuck, we could have stilled reached several other solar systems.
In short, you're an idiot. stop reading IFLS.

Actually studying and applying the knowledge, instead of trying to feign intellect through dilettante hobbies, you fucking lazy poser.

You failed miserably.
