people who love science are low iq, people who see it as something to use to create better things are another story, the lfls crowd are the former, the people who built civilization are the later, there is no overlap betwixt the two groups

white male humans are the pinnacle of a billion years of evolution, the closest thing to perfection which nature has yet produced.

They don't produce anything of value, paying them anything at all is a waste of funds. Ages ago they used to deliver, but those days have long since passed, there are very few people still living who are old enough to remember them. The age of reason ended in the 20h century and it's final generation of humanity is rapidly going extinct.

Space Rock:
Hawkwind's classic space rock song "Spirit of the Age". In the song a human clone, one of many developed to be laborers, is employed on an asteroid mining operation with his fellow clones. He tells the tale of his life indirectly while expressing his emotions and desires in a letter to his wife back on Earth in the first verse. In the 2nd verse the clone tells the listener about himself directly:
I am a clone,
I am not alone
Every fiber of my flesh and bone
is identical to the others
Everything I say is in the same tone
As my test tube brother's voice
There is no choice between us
If you had ever seen us
You'd rejoice in your uniqueness
And consider every weakness
something special of your own
Being a clone I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel that pours from my pen
Has just been written by another twenty telepathic men
Oh, word for word,
it says:

"Oh, for the wings of any bird,
other than a battery hen"

>Because what you wrote has nothing to do with the post you responded to.

Yes, it does, you gave an idiotic response that claimed we use to not nurture the most talented students. This is wrong, we use to have separate classes for gifted students and these were the BEST not the worst.

America is wasting billions to produce the best janitors in the world instead of spending those same billions to produce the best STEM majors in the world.

We need to stop "no child left behind' and common core education and return to what ACTUALLY worked and created the best educated population ever.

i like how the self-identified science experts like to shit on people who do legitimately useful labor by calling them "wagies"
they clearly think anyone earning an living honestly is beneath them while they waste fortunes of other people's money chasing publications
>muh name got printed in a reproducibility crisis journal, thats so much more important than building roads, raising crops and manufacturing useful goods
lame cringey cope, brought to necessity by leading a worthless existence.

>the effort and cost of extracting it from non-ore rock and soil is inconceivable

On Earth that is true, on the moon you NEED the water so even if it is 'difficult as hell' you do it.
We go there KNOWING that we need to mine water so we WILL do it, even if it requires thousands of square miles of solar fields for the energy to do it.

thats nice sentiment, but the clown colors are the ones they chose, removing them is like asking them to change their personality. they have bad complexions because they choose to live in a way that results in filthy ugly infections on their faces.
ugly face = ugly personality
if you think deformed physical features don't reflect a deformed brain then you're wrong, an unhealthy body cannot support a healthy brain

Hi /sci/,

I need serious help, i was looking for an old thread for about 3 hrs but couldn't find it. I'm a vet student but always wanted to learn math/physics/chemistry. I never learned the reasoning behind formulas and equations, sadly that curiosity bloomed in college, a bit to late. I really want to learn this shit but my peanut brain doesn't know where to start.

I need some advice on what books/youtubers/etc i should read/watch for a literal brainlet who can't even add. Maybe even a tip or two for concentrating on studying since my head hurts a shit ton after 30 min. Thanks bros.

Good social relationships are supposedly the biggest (and more or less only) predictor of healthy long life.
But I think if there was a famine the guy who could fix the tractor would be pretty popular

Manned is not going to happen with current technology and attitudes.
Even if your rocket doesn't crash on landing like 60% of all attempts have, your body would be a mess form the various effects of space travel.
>If you don't mind taking massive losses on the launch pad, on the journey, the landing, and after,
>if you don't mind recruiting prisoners and strapping them to beds for months at at time to simulate low gravity then pumping them full of experimental drugs...
Then yes it could be done sooner.

This is more reasonable.

50% of success in life is just showing up and being there on time.
This applies to work, school, dating, etc.
Losers can not even do that simple thing.
