Good. Even their non-hardware-related space articles are trash. Right now a front page article on Farts Technica is "here's why Mars colonization is bad (it reminds me of white people colonizing foreign continents (did you know Andrew Jackson was le bad))" written as a review of a book by the SMBC webcomic guy and his wife.

I took modafinil for the first time and nothing changed. Should I have taken more than 100 mg?

When will humans finally stop taking contradictions (paradoxes) seriously in mathematics? There is nothing meaningful or valid about them. They are pure contradictions. Every version of the liar’s paradox, for example, can be shown to be vague/contradictory:
>everything I say is a lie
that’s clearly a lie. If someone said this to you, you would recognize it as such. Or perhaps everything they said *previously* was a lie, and they meant to omit their current statement. Otherwise they’re just saying “everything I say is a lie but also true” which is a contradiction.
>I am lying / this statement is false
you’re not actually referring to anything meaningful here. It’s the same as saying “I’m telling the truth.” But… about what? You’re only uttering nonsense that shouldn’t even be classified in the true/false dichotomy.
>I am incapable of uttering true statements
Again, this is just false. If such a being or machine truly were incapable of uttering true statements, then it would recognize this fact as true, and therefore would never utter it.
>etc.

All paradoxes are like this. They are contradictory. They are meaningless. And yet they are at the heart of modern mathematics. This is a fucking joke.

IQ 180+ here (don't even bother to ask for a proof).
Let me deboonk the most common midwit misconceptions about IQ.

>but intelligence is multifaceted
IQ tests numerical and symbolic pattern recognition, verbal comprehension, short term memory, spatial visualization and logical reasoning. Wanna add something? Then present a rigorous test and justify why it should be included in the definition of intelligence.
>but what about emotional intelligence, social intelligence, twerking skills, number of followers on tiktok/onlyfans
Sorry sweaty, we're measuring intelligence here, not your ability to copy NPC behaviour.
>why didn't you win a Nobel prize/Fields medal? IQ means nothing when you're a loser
Intelligence comes with no obligation to contribute anything to the industrial-technological system. Acadummic success is mainly determined by obedience and social networking. A shitload of midwits (and in social "sciences" even actual brainlets) have a PhD nowadays.
>but what is your IQ good for then?
IQ enables you to quickly learn, understand, connect and creatively play with abstract concepts and to analyze, question and improve theories. Unlike a midwit whose highest achievement is superficially regurgitating what he's told.
>but IQ is racist
No, IQ is a factual statement. It doesn't tell you morally how to treat others.
>if you're so smart why aren't you rich?
Because I wasn't born rich and our economy wants obedient workers, not smart workers. You don't get rich by being smart, you get rich by being popular and sociopathic.
>if you're so smart why don't you get laid?
Attractiveness is determined by looks and status. Women are generally anti-intellectual and think of an intelligent man as a nerd in the negative sense, unless he's a gigachad. I say this as a married man btw.
>isn't this just cope?
The only ones coping here are the IQ denialists. If they didn't need to cope they'd just accept that there are people who are rightfully proud of scoring high on the IQ test

exactly. "how do we fix" is a toxic narcissist question, faggots seeking attention run around with unsolicited "help". heavily shilled on /pol, hundreds of retards and coordinated shills respond with their totally unimportant opinions.
