This picture you posted is unironically true and not true at the same time. Can anyone really transcend consciousness, being, existence, reality, etc.? Are mere humans capable of such a thing? I doubt it. In any case, goodbye /sci/, 4chan, and the internet.

The Chad meme is the product of some sorcerer tier memelord
The posture of Chad is a representation of the exercises you will do when you’ve obtained a level of Consciousness that is in line with the timeless Chad
Exercises in unified rotation and alignment which come from occupying a space of absolute thoughtlessness
Females are hard coded to bear this thoughtless chads children, for the journey to such a state of mind is one few souls have ever managed to make, yet all men are capable of making

It's 2020 and they still clamp, vaccinate, circumcise, fluoridate, chlorinate, etc. Like stoneage animals. They're using fancy tech as a new way to still do the same stupid shit they were doing several thousand years ago. A sharp piece of rock or volcanic glass has been replaced with the gomco clamp, circumstraint, radiofrequency scalpel, etc. That was what plastics, mass production, precision machining, electricity, etc got us. A new way to amputate part of the penis. Memeing aside, stop and think about that. Let it really sink in. Tecyhnology only allows us to be the same thing in a new way.

unironically good for society by decreasing the average of coomers

You're kidding right? Look at porn consumption in the US. If anything it makes cooming worse, perhaps via the glans always being exposed promoting a constant low level sexual tension / passive aggression, even without it being triggered by stretch receptors. With the glans exposed perhaps elements of the sexual state never quite leave. Satisfaction may be another factor, despite net decreased ease.

>>12154070
Nice head canon

>>12154079
No actually, you. Porn consumption is probably not lower in the US, your head canon needs to account for that.

Pretty much every number and its relative size in your life is based on random executive choice of some guy many decades, if not centuries ago.

For example, 1080p resolution is the HD resolution. Why?
Because standard Blue-rays fits an entire movie at that resolution at 16:9. Because they are 12cm in diameter. Because DVDs were 12cm. Because CDs were 12cm. Because Sony wanted to fit 72 minutes of Beethoven's 9th symphony on their new format that had particular data density.
They could have picked 12,5 cm. They could have choose 16:10 ratio. They could have picked laser of different wavelength. They could have used different encoding.
All of these decisions might have changed the world in a very minor way.

Pretty much every single thing is like that.
What if meter wasn't "our" 1 m?
What if mol wasn't based on carbon 12?

>>12154453
Wait, you can?

We have eclipses because by pure chance the Sun and the Moon are seen as same size from Earth, which is plain crazy.

Busy Beaver functions.
First, build a turing machine. It can have any number of states. Now, the thought exercise: If you exclude every infinite program (looping, etc), there *must* be a program which gives the most output (runs X number of steps), and no other program that terminates can run more than those number of steps.
The busy beaver function aims to find that number of steps.
Implication:
If you can find the busy beaver number for an n-state program, and you can program a mathematical problem in that n-state program, you can run that program up until the busy beaver number. If it runs past the busy beaver number, then you know the program will never halt, since the BB number is the largest number of steps a finite program can take.
Thought:
Say you know the BB number is "30,000,000,000" for some n-state. If you can write a program in the n-state to check the Riemann hypothesis by looping through numbers 30,000,000,000 to check if any of them disprove the Riemann hypothesis. If your program loops past 30,000,000,001, you can safely say that the Riemann hypothesis is true, since the program will never halt, given the known BB number.

>>12156007
so if you can know the number of steps an infinite program takes...

>>12156007
Interesting, but finding and programming such a machine is probably as hard, if not harder, than solving the problems you want to solve.
That's usually the catch.

>>12153066
Ok here goes.

Units of measurement are just unknown factors of a product. 1km is 1000m or [math]1000 \cdot m[/math] where the definition of constant [math]m[/math] is not important.

90km/h is [math]90000 \cdot m \over 1 \cdot h[/math].

This mode of thinking makes some school assignments difficult, where UoM are abstracted away willy nilly. You need to divide away the UoM to treat a value as pure number.

>>12156203
... for example: "[math]f(x)[/math]m is a function of [math]x[/math]min walking. [math]f(x) = 1.4 \cdot 60x[/math], determine f(5). "

So that's just [math]1.4 \cdot 60 \cdot 5 = 420[/math] meters, ok onto the next one. But wait. What if the units were intrinsic?

[eqn]a = 5min[/eqn]
[eqn]g(x) = (1.4 \cdot 60x)m[/eqn]

gives...

[eqn]g(a) = (1.4 \cdot 60(5min)m = 420 \cdot min \cdot m[/eqn]

Huh... We need an "abstractor".

[eqn]h(x) = x \over min[/math]

(Any generalized function for this? Anyone? )

[eqn]g(h(x)) = (1.4 \cdot 60(5)m = 420m[/eqn]

Is this what type theory treats? I am generally math ignorant.

>>12153770
>>12154411
Yeah. A person can't truly 'transcend' or anything, but since your perspective of reality is limited by your sensory experiences, you may as well be able to if you try hard enough. e.g. Tulpas

so crazy that its almost as if...

The Fourier transform is a unitary operator of L^2 with all kinds of tremendously beautiful properties. It may be defined on any discrete or locally compact abelian group with haar measure, for any appropriately regular measure, for any tempered distribution, on any abelian fucking C*-algebra (the Gelfand transform), etc etc.
It displays truly unimaginable functorial relationships between polynomials and differential operators, between convolution and multiplication, and between a number of other operations. It makes it possible for one to compute all kinds of extremely important quantities in NlogN complexity instead of N^2. It turns partial differential equations, the absolute most difficult kind of mathematical object, into trivially solved algebraic equations. It specializes in the form of Fourier series, allowing essentially any function which you will ever see without trying to make a shitty function with choice to be approximated in many, many topologies by trigonometric polynomials. There is an entire active field of mathematics devoted purely to studying the wide-reaching dualities of the Fourier transform, Harmonic Analysis.
I could go on and on for pages, for days about why the Fourier transform is the most perfect and elegant object ever observed or touched by humans. Nothing else even comes close. It's as if the entirety of logic, mathematics, and the universe was built around the Fourier transform.
