I am a Christian and please shut up
God of Absence is an argument hated by both sides because it diminishes the entire message of the bible into just

>However, critics of g have contended that an emphasis on g is misplaced and entails a devaluation of other important abilities. Stephen J. Gould famously denounced the concept of g as supporting an unrealistic reified view of human intelligence.

If you want to prove that an etnicity is inferior, you NEED genetic evidence proving that their brain have different structure than others.
So far, not a single one has shown that

Psychology is complete pseudoscience that just piggybacks on the discoveries made in neuroscience. Get out.

>top 10%
There are 150 threads at every board
Do you really think that there are 15 threads worth reading there?

NEWSFLASH
Everyboard has its 1% of good stuff
Those guys are the ones who have
>creative talent and discusses art at /a/, /c/, porn boards and wallpaper/photo boards
>actually adores good body physique and combat on /k/ and /fit/

Then there are boards like /sci/, /lit/, /his/, and probably /g/ who are actually devoted to academic discussions. They all have their flaws but the thing is, the less porn a board has, the greater the chances of finding intelligent discussions.

We cannot judge a board by the few geniuses but we should judge them by the culture they uphold and the majority of their posters

Then pass a law saying that every citizen would have their organs harvested upon death by default unless they refuse to.

There are ways to cut this problem but creating subhuman races and playing god is not the solution

Got told of their crimes against humanity
And now you're in denial

Fukushima injured 4 and killed 1
Coal plants kill 800k people a year

It was the first REAL nuclear disaster in 70 years and it was only made possible by the 4'th most powerful Earthquake in Japanese history

>>11758811
Chernobyl's failsafes were literally shut down because they wanted to know what happens if it was bombed by Allies

Fukushima was the FIRST real incident and it took the 4'th most powerful earthquake in Japan's history to do it.
And guess what?
All it's damages are nothing compared to the average oil spill that happened 44 times now with nothing but human error being the cause

We discussed this
Shut the fuck up

Farming is simple, cheap, and easy.
Your shit is not.
We are not going to use your shit if it's not profitable.

We do not live in a nuclear wasteland and it is foolish to waste good cheap arable land just because you wanted to.

>>11729428
Yeah, preach.
Preach to the people who manage the country after ruthless study over economics and politics.
The single main reason why some countries lack produce is because of the profit and economy
Local farms in a poor land are bound to sell their products at a high price to make even.
On the other hand, exports from agricultural countries are cheap and even if you put high tarriffs, the local farms still cannot compete due to difference in quality, quantity, and profitability.
Make it too high and they just stop coming for you.
Farms are not owned by the government - they are private business and therefore cannot operate on a loss

The world is not equally distributed. It's a matter of making the best of what you have AND using trade and market to make up for what you don't have.

No, it's called "Oil and Gas drilling" precisely because it IS underground.
There is over 791 oil rigs in the USA alone. Assuming that your 100,000km2 of land was actually on the surface, and each one consumes as much land, then that's 79,100,000km2!
70M+ BIGGER than the surface of the USA

So shut the fuck up.

No, it is NOT irrelevant. My 30% is just an estimation.. Brits have reported that as much as 60% of their electricity are being lost on the grid.
>you can just install 30% more capacity
You idiot!
The electricity is being lost on the cables itself because there is no perfect conductor in the world. As far as thermodynamics is concerned, energy would always be lost due to resistance. There are super conductors but none of them are available for commercial use.

And the further the distance, the greater the loss in energy.

No, you are not going to consume 3%
You are going to consume 10% of desert because you need to make up for the loses that would happenat night and allow for a margin of error as the city grows and malfunction happens.
10% just for the solar panels
And this is not including the amount of roads that must be constructed, power plants that would handle the power, tremendous amount of power grids, and of course, living quarters for the thousands of people that you need to hire in order to build and maintain your solar farm. People who need food, water, shelter, entertainment, and other good.

All in all, is possible that you would destroy as much as 20% of desert habitat just because lmao solar panels

At such a magnitude, you would not just end up killing a huge portion of the environment, you would literally cause widespread famine because desert dust are known to provide vital nutrient and minerals to surrounding forestry and many many other effects as you cannot just destroy so much land without any retaliation from nature. Ask ecologists

Solar rooftop are too weak to make you independent

Consequences of certain actions ARE the reason why we hate ethics in the first place

For example:
If science has no ethics, then that means it would be able to produce extremely great results at small amounts of time but at the cost of experimenting on the lower classes. This act of idiocy would cause great divide and strife between the intellectuals and normal people that would also lead to massive deaths on both sides. Bear in mind that the lower classes have absolutely nothing else to lose as they are going to be experimented on anyway.

In the end, we have ethics BECAUSE we know and fear the consequences

It took you 10 minutes
TEN FUCKING MINUTES
And that's all you can say?

All you can say is that the nutrients in the water would continue to be redistributed when this completely false given by the fact that the poles already holds 99% of fresh water and kilometers worth of carbon and phosphorus are locked in the Permafrost right now?
Which would grow bigger without the moon.

DO. SOME. RESEARCH. RETARD

Take both frogs in a bottle.
Keep the bitten part as low as possible and rush to the hospital to get an actual anti-venom.
If they don't have, give them the frogs

Making antivenom's are a chemist's job.

Pretty much these
I cannot, for love of me, understand how anyone can actually differ philosophy from sciece.

How on Earth can you possibly understand, let alone explain, that Time and Space are the exact same thing without going into a philosophical discussion?
We are nothing more than a bunch of cells that somehow learned how not to live on its own and now works for a cluster of completely depended cells who decides what happens through chemicals that it encounters here and there and sends signals via electricity
How can you possibly fathom the sheer size of the universe without going into philosophical examples? Heck, how the fuck can you even comprehend how the quantumn world, along with its bullshits, without latching on philosophical ideologies just to give it a little sense?

Idiots who think that philosophy are useless are useless themselves.

If I have the power, I would make it illegal to have a political leader who knows nothing about philosophy and history. Those 2 fields are necessary if you wish to lead people to the right path
