Are penguins birds?
Yesnt
>>16973052Do they have beaks? Then yes.
>>16973057It's wild knowing that the real penguins went extinct and all that are left are imposters with nobody left to call bullshit.
>>16977682Are turtles birds?
>>16973052yes

Wondering how fast I can get a nursing associates degree done with my bachelors credits and if there's a nursing career that can fit someone introverted and bad at talking to people.I'm also seeing people say nursing is going to be oversatured too in which case lol
>>16978185>going to beit already is. every single thot on the planet is going into nursing right now because they have no interests and know that nurses will always be needed
>>16978194What do I even do then
>>16977151usually you do one because you work at a lab since you couldn't find a real job and your boss needs you to enroll to metricsmaxxat least that's how it works in europe
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE ENTROPY OF AN ISOLATED SYSTEM CAN NEVER GO DOWN BECAUSE...BECAUSE IT JUST HECKIN FLIPPIN FREAKIN CAN'T OK????????????
>>16977564no you can't.
>>16974980Not all infinities contain what you're looking for.
>>16977566Maybe it's like a knot that will only come untangled when it reaches a knot tied the opposite way.
>>16975054except they fucking are laws you fucking retard, maybe stop trying to change the meanings of words if you want to be pedantic??????
Entropy is about typicality. Typical configurations outweigh atypical configurations at an exponential rate as the size of the system increases. In physics this matters because of chaotic systems. Like stirring tea and milk together. Mixed configurations significantly outweigh unmixed configurations. The chance of the tea spontaneously unmixing is astronomical. On a cosmic scale, practically valuable work is necessarily entropy increasing. Negative entropy is a non-renewable resource. You can't extract work from ambient heat.
His ideas are fascinating to me. Is he a pseud? By extension, am I?
>>16972748he's good at using rhetorical devices. the actual ideas behind them are stupid
Bumperino
>>16972748I dont agree with the full idealism of his arguments, but his biological arguments regarding the nature of truth is likely correct. Evolutionary speaking, we are not wired for truth, we are wired for survival by balancing the act of mating, food, enjoyment, socializing, hunting, etc. Ground truth isnt part of it. Further, our impulses are to give reward to the least effort, most efficient sensory systems. Hence, what we see in this world, what we know about things, are likely false. And not just 50% false or 10% false, but 100% falsehoods due to sheer evolutionary optimization forces. Its as >>16972943 says, its Kantian but aimed at biological evolution and nature of consciousness. You cant reach the truth. Whatever truth is "out there" is unreachable.
>>16972753He’s an owl?
>>16977569This sounds like you are debasing any chance of justifying your claim, or any claim for that matter. What is the truthiness condition which supports you?
How does that prove Hodge conjecture
>>16977038Yeah gaussian primes are real; real annoying
No two snowflakes are the same so you can compare real numbers.
What if the Europa Lander finds complex life under the ice of Europa in the 2040s or whenever it arrives? Imagine discovering that life coincidentally also exists so close to our planet, and then remembering that we've been broadcasting radio signals over hundreds of light years for the last two hundred years.
Its gay bacteria at best
>>16971474How were they not getting irradiated to death the whole time they were on the surface
>>16964073We learn what ayyfish are edible and what aren’t.
>>16964073There's no europa lander planned. Unless a lander sees fucking frozen fish on the surface, there's not a very high chance it'll detect life>2040sLol. 2050s>>16964084Enceladus can support the biomass of one blue whale. That's fuck all
>>16964073>>16964084>>16964084>>16965848Someone did a paper which put forth that Europa might not have the hydrothermal vents for life the way that Earth did but Enceladus might. Triton might also be another candidate and seems like a really interesting moon but I doubt we'll see any probes going their in our lifetime.

This is fucking retarded design a lunar lander must have two stages single stage landers are too inefficient.
>>16977320Hahaha what a piece shit 80 years gone by and trillio s of dollars wasted and all we get is an Apollo clone with a useless stylized fairing
>>16977320actually 2 stages is inefficient because you're throwing away hardware worth millions
It's not inefficient if it is able to mine the moon for propellant. Two stages is inherently more risky.
They put a condom over it.
>>16977320A half-century of technological progress changes things, grandpa.>>16977360>80 years gone byThey flew to the moon in the 1940s, retard?
What's the evolutionary drive for 5-HT2A receptors? People can take antagonists with seemingly no major ill effects.
>>16977393>antagonists>posts an agonist
>>16977393>more potent than LSD>easy as piss to grow>can dry and smoke the leaves or just chew them fresh without swallowing(mucosal absorption)>comparative intensity to dmt>works with kappa opioid receptors instead of serotonin or cannabinoid
>>16978178Forgot pic, used to be available at gas stations and head shops around the country until too many retards got told its like weed before getting blasted into another dimension
>>16978178>>16978180>more potent than LSDNot even close. Salvia lasts for 10-20 min, then just feels like a mild weed high for a couple hours. At its peak, it's similar to LSD, but nowhere near as intense. Do they still sell it in shops? It's been a while since I've seen any.
>>16977393Okay i'm going to give you a real answer to help you understand this.the brain is made up of different regions, which are populations of neurons that all work together to do some specific job or general function. Lets take something like picking out important information in a scene, that's handled by your visual processing network. Sometimes the network wants to gather information from a distant place in the brain like the hippocampus, the way it does this is by *growing a nerve projection* to the distant target, and then exchanging chemical messengers. The neurotransmitters are sent to very specific placesThere are some very special places in the brain where the neurotransmitters sent directly correspond to sensory information. If drugs fuck with neurotransmitters here, the organism hallucinates. Its not evolved away because this specific sub-type of serotonin receptor probably doesn't encounter massive doses of a special chemical that fucks with it on a regular basis. Otherwise it would just not respond, same as toxin immunity works for other creatures that habitually eat something that would mess up the systems in their close relatives. They acquire a change in their receptors such that the toxin no longer works. But they only get that by exposure to the toxin over and over again.Humans are not exposed to psychedelic mushrooms on a long enough time to develop an evolutionary response like a resistance via altered receptors. There is evidence however, of human populations developing genetic resistance to alcohol for instance. We just haven't consumed psychedelic mushrooms for thousands of years like people are saying otherwise there actually would be mutations

I'm trying to create a system of formulas and schemes that will aid with studying a lang.Am I wasting my time?Pic rel is moonrunes.
>>16975944idk that all looks pretty trippy. what exactly do you mean by formulas and schemes lol.here is my tip - content. You gotta watch things in english with spanish subtitles and by brute force understand everything. Because there is a virtual language in between languages, the literal translation. So learning a language "raw" doesn't really teach you how to speak it, you have to learn how they say things.
>>16975944It looks overcomplicated
>>16975944Good thread bad idea
>>16975944Roman jakobson claimed that deciphering moonrunes and poneglyphs was part of what made one a ‘top rank’ linguist

And now we can simply ignore flat earth retards for good, let them drivel in their madness. So the big question is why is the earth a sphere and other space objects in the universe like the sun or moons?
>>16953085>c-classic redditismMust be embarrassing for you if a redditism is so right about you.
>>16946872>h-hehehe y-you’re the religious person actually!Christcucks coping witht their severe mindvirus induced mental illness like this is always hilarious. The saddest part is they actually think this is a clever response.
>>16964486It’s because most of these people are enormous pussies in real life and subconscously know they would absolutely humiliate themselves if they tried to spout that shit when in the company of people with half-decent intelligence.
>>16970343I respect it, if there’s losers out there making money off vulnerable retards like yourself selling them flattard hogwash, then you might as well have a few people who make their living clipfarming these morons.
