Balance is the truest path to re-materialization that you would describe as spontaneity. Consider it.

Here's my situation
>finished my degree in biochem
>/g/ cross poster and programmer
>find bioinformatics really interesting, completed a short research project in it and decide to enter the field
>can't seem to land any interviews at jobs because they all want prior experience or PhDs
>apply for as many PhDs as possible, because straight up bioinformatics projects are very rare
>get a few interviews
>offered a place on a decent project, not my first choice though
>offer has a time limit so i accept
>a month later, I get a second offer on my first choice

So bail on my first offer without being an asshole? I felt cornered when my first offer came through, since it had a time limit and these projects are quite rare. Its not like its a shitty project, I would quite happily do it, but it wasn't my first choice. I also told them that I had applied for other projects at the time my offer came through.

Another factor is that I'm in a niche discipline, so I feel like these researchers likely talk among themselves and I don't want to start off with a bad reputation.

Gimme advice /sci/

So /SCI/ bros, if we sterilized everyone with less than 100 IQ, and then gradually increased the filter by 10 IQ per generation, would we get a generation with 4 digit IQs in a few thousand years?

Is a PhD worth it if you aren't planning on becoming a university professor?

He synthesized early modern rationalism and empiricism, set the terms for much of nineteenth and twentieth century philosophy, and continues to exercise a significant influence today in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, aesthetics, and other fields. The fundamental idea of Kant’s “critical philosophy” – especially in his three Critiques: the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787), the Critique of Practical Reason (1788), and the Critique of the Power of Judgment (1790) – is human autonomy. He argues that the human understanding is the source of the general laws of nature that structure all our experience; and that human reason gives itself the moral law, which is our basis for belief in God, freedom, and immortality. Therefore, scientific knowledge, morality, and religious belief are mutually consistent and secure because they all rest on the same foundation of human autonomy, which is also the final end of nature according to the teleological worldview of reflecting judgment that Kant introduces to unify the theoretical and practical parts of his philosophical system.

Outside of philosophy he exerted a huge influence on the development of cognitive science, logic (via Frege) and political science. Moreover, much contemporary jurisprudence and international law is irredeemably Kantian.

Lastly, he exerted a seminal influence on eighteenth century thinking (including obviously the sciences)—the scientifically fruitful time period of the Enlightenment got its name from Kant's essay "what is Enlightenment?"

This is one of the highest-IQ posts I've ever seen

The countries that care about climate change and reducing CO2 emissions only account for about 17% of global emissions (JP/CA/EU)

They all are deindustrialized, stagnating economies, and low birth rates.

On the other hand Abdilabidou and Mamadoubidou are have 9 kids per woman ( they bowth have 6 wives) back in subsaharian Africa. And indeed the continent s population will quadruple by the turn of the next century.

Therefore each percentile of carbon emission saved by the first group of countries will get emitted 3/4 times by the African demand.

Since AI will basically mean that we've now given machines the ability to think, does it mean machines are then a separate faction from humanity?
If they are given free thought and the ability to self replicate, will they not be equal beings to us if not greater?
We can let them live on the moon and it'll be called their homeworld. And they'll have their own goals and ways of living in the world even though they're effectively immortal.

Biology is psuedoscience at best.
There's no jobs for biologists. They're all unemployed and worse, many of them are female.
That's how you recognize a psuedoscience.
Real science doesn't have females.
Biology is also inconsistent.
There's no need for biology just like there's no need for business and liberals arts courses.
Society just doesn't need it. The industry doesn't need it.
And it doesn't pay to study it.
