You'd think they'd have gotten it the first time. I thought it was pretty explicit.

Oh wow, didn't notice that.
Well let me change to 'They seem like they'd take up a Mars mission not too far into the future because they're already interested in making a moon base by 2030.'

It's a delay, but it's definitely not a fatal one and may easily change.

'94er here, for South Australia at least it seems as if everyone is a leftie.

Is it different in America? (I presume America)

Just keep it above 3.5 and you're set.

i see what you did there

Any /sci/entists here grad students at UC Berkeley? Share with me the method of getting into your school, wise ones

I'm a scientist and a philosopher of science. I have a Ph.D. in trolling. However, I didn't miss the point. Perhaps ignored the point you were making, but the fact is this thread exists. Gender does matter in the practice of science particularly as it is concerned with the probability that a random person will make it through all of the obstacles to become a well-informed, well-educated, capable scientists at the end.

Men have competitive advantage here for a multitude of reasons. Women have a competitive disadvantage. The discrepancy grows between them the more socially dependent either of them is. Women tend towards social dependence, so they tend away from the sciences. They have the same basic mental capabilities, but not the same basic motivations and tendencies.

Important distinction. Gender matters. Gender matters a lot. Like, I won't take a man as a companion for life. Men are incapable of pregnancy and birth. They make poor parents on average.

The distinction here is empirical vs idealistic. Idealistic shoulds and oughts don't matter. They're subjective BS thrown out by pseudo-scientific intellectuals and philosophers. The view of equality of the sexes is itself fundamentally flawed and invalid logically. The reality is men and women are different and that science must be played and practice according exacting rigorous standardized methods and protocols which are hostile to social manipulation, deception, dishonesty, fame-mongering, and personality cults.

Where "science" is practiced that is not hostile to these things, pseudo-science and superstition reign.

So far this has been the most helpful post, (not to say the others haven't been helpful)

I've looked into Bell's theorem that almost completely disproves the idea of hidden variables in QM and in doing so, also acts as a huge counter argument against hard determinism.

Digging even deeper, I've found that recent works in Bohemian Mechanics can describe the apparently random quantum phenomenon while still maintaining determinism. Here is a good article on that: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.philosophy/browse_thread/thread/31b8c1658e7c4e7a/ebfdbc782e24ea7d

I know it says 'philosophy' in the link, but philosophy and quantum mechanics are oddly entangled on the subject of determinism. I've checked the sources mentioned in the article and all the info is accurate.

(Oh, and to note, I am a EE major with a minor in physics, not a philosophy major)

What is the sum of three times a number and five?

Anyone know the default rounding scheme in MATLAB 7?

Is sublingual administration of benzodiazepines better than taking them as intended?

I'll take my question off the air, thanks.

Nice shitstorm. Just though i should say when a person claims they have disproved determism i mentally file them with radical christfags, flat earthers and psychiatric patients incapable of rational thought.

Its one of the unanswerable questions. You cant deny it untill you have absolute knowledge of the the fundamental workings of the universe. It amazes me that supposedly intellectual people think they have solved this with such limited information.
