>you’re citing cherry-picked psychology studies (the premise of this thread is that psychology is basically a huge meme—psychologists get killed by culture) and refusing to talk common sense.
Genetic studies aren't psychological studies, you idiot.
Also, if you're just to going to claim every study someone posts in "cherry-picked" because you're too vacuous to read it, and mull through the methodology for yourself.
You're going to find your stay on /sci/ frightfully short, because trying to inform you, will be pointless.
Again, as David Lewis warns when arguing with a layperson (or any person) who has a preconceived notion of reality.

There is no Fermi paradox, why?
Let's start by saying that observable universe itself is massive with a radius of 46.5 billion light-years, or a diameter of 93 billion light-years, and we haven't even explored or mapped 1% of that.
Now, for the main crux of the issue for those who understand the massive nature of it, why we haven't received any artificial radio signals, other than the Wow! signal, is because of signal attenuation. By the time signals get here, they're too weak to be picked up by our current technology.
As for why they haven't replied to any of the signals we've either consciously or ambiently sent is, again, due to the massive nature of the observable universe.
We have only been broadcasting radio signals into the universe for around 100 years, that is to say, those radio signals will have only travelled 100 light-years, which isn't really any great distance, and may have passed by exoplanets with extraterrial life that wasn't intelligent enough to receive them.
Part of the way we might be able to mitigate these issues is through the creation of equipment like the James Webb Space Telescope, that will allow us to collect and analyze more data from stars and their exoplanets.
Just wait, we're going to find something; and stop pretending like you know more than anyone else, you don't, in fact, because you didn't even consider the above, you know less than that.

>I mean, college isn't a meme...right?
Why does every post on 4chan have to be a bait post? Why couldn't it have just been a cordial and informative thread with the subject:
>Will you tell your children to go to college for STEM /sci/?
But no, of course not, this is 4chan, so it has to be:
>Lmao, college is so shit, right guys?! XD

This autistic /sci/ guy was walking by me and said economics wasn't a science. He must be mad a chadonomics major stole his gf. Doesn't he know about all the job openings available to people formed in economics? I bet he's jelly his field doesn't have the opportunity our does. That's why he's going to work at McD's while I get six figures starting. All he must know about economics is supply and demand. Anyone who's actually studied economics knows it's all hard maths and research. We learn about Calculus like integrals, multivariable like Lagrangians, probability like the normal distribution, game theory like Nash equillibrium, linear algebra like matrix multiplication and stochastic calculus like summing a white noise or brownian motion to a tendency function. If you think this stuff is easy then clearly your school must have been shit and didn't do them in detail like our extremely rigorous math courses. End of the day, we control the money, and we control the funding this guy gets to do his stupid research on quantum skeletons and algebraic schemes. Maybe we'll give him some breadcrumps. Oh, he's going to be sorry.
