Who the fuck is talking about souls. Conciousness is just awareness, necessary for observation. Hence when we are unconscious we are unaware.

Before you post pictures of Hitchens you should perhaps you should read his books. He talks about conciousness as awareness quite a bit, I suggest Hitch-22.

Intelligence can be taught but there are limits to the intelligence reachable and different rates of learning depending on the genes. That why a monkey cant be trained to be as intelligent an average human

In the game A happens. Check GMod.

But if 'momentum in' (relative to Orange) = 'momentum out' (relative to Blue) then it will come out at the same speed the orange portal moves downwards.

/Sci/ has resolved this before but OPs just keeps posting it and samefagging a few posts that suggest it is 'obviously A' without providing and logical reasoning for the option. It tend to troll allot of people

what your teacher was misinterpretting was the autistic scale. It seems that very intelligent people lack the social skills of people at near average intelligence

This is called aspergers in the case of mild social symptoms and austism in the extreme cases

The common sense thing is only true in the case of severe autism. Most common sense is as rational as it is social

its a step towards enlightenment, similar to christianity in the century after the origin of species

A) Civil engineering
B) Genetic engineering
C) Nuclear power

dont be silly, it would only be a lobsided collapse if the top had fallen during the horizontal impact. When beams fail or buckle normally the stuff they support just falls down, dragging anything it hits down with it.

The effect on the subsequent lower beams failing is due to something called shock-loading, where the force produced by the impact of moving masses is greater than the stationary load of the mass

This is all pretty basic engineering/physics

scientifically we dont know yet. There has been no evidence either way

oh, so abortion is murder if its a boy?

cannabis is addictive just like computer games, tv and food can be psychological addictions

you shouldnt say it is not addictive

neither should u say it is chemically addictive like tabacco or cocaine

Critical thinking taught alongside maths, english and science as a key subject with 3-4 hours a week age 14-18

This class should teach:
Basics of scientific method,
how to conduct a reasoned arguement,
how to verify information,
how to recognise falsified information or reasoning
the nature of bias and how to avoid exhibiting it.

I dont think reason is too hard for anyone mentally capable of learning and understanding it frees a person to make better decisions for themselves

Biblical god has been disproven already. Your premise is a logical paradox

3 blades was fine, they were better spread out and didnt clog up as fast. Quite a smart move by gillette tricking people into buying a new product that will cost them much more in the long run and doesnt offer much improvement for the feature that causes this increased cost.

Its not an orgasm, its a release of one of the brain chemicals released during orgasm. Specifically oxytocin

Its not an orgasm, its a release of one of the brain chemicals released during orgasm. Specifically oxytocin

Its not an orgasm, its a release of one of the brain chemicals released during orcasm. Specificall oxytocin

Provided the means to run and maintain the AI does not compromise a significant proportion of the populations living standard, yes it could work.

Main drawback in all honesty is the loss of sensation but that is rarely significant. If you have good hygiene there is no real benefit of being circumcised

the state of the current war is wrong ofc because it creates huge bloodshed out of nearly nothing. Being a soldier isnt wrong IMO because taking life is required in war but others believe taking life is always wrong, they have a right to voice their opinion.

However it is crass to mock a disabled persom

Humans have actually got a few inches taller on average over the last millenium

No its because there is no room in the jaw unless you have lost teeth, in which case wisdom teeth pushes the others forward to fill the gaps

it does not have withdrawl as it doesnt enduce a chemical dependancy but you can form a psychological addiction with the drugs use

Reading you link however it appears to be misrepresenting the facts regarding marijuana use with bias. I would'nt use it as a source for critical information

Lol variation of monty hall problem, its 1/3 chance

I am truely ashamed of /sci/ right now

omg so much pseudoscience in this thread. It is to do with the instinct that allows us to make and use tools. We see a bunch of convienent objects that are perfect for us to use without us altering them (fruit is the classic example) and conclude they must have been designed just as our tools are.
