With genius you feel a lot less stress. One has more awareness of the world while at the same time having less questions to be answered. Less intelligent people have much more stress due to not being able to be aware of the macro aspect of society to go about life efficiently or just an overall self-assured manner.

The feeling of genius is calm, being more confident about decisions and one's path through life, and tend to think a lot more on macro scales. Example; off-time thinking tends to be not about myself but about society. Where society is leading, what is good for society, and so-on. The lesser intelligent one is the more micro one's thoughts are both due to incompetency to think on a macro scale and that one has more stress in being less able to resolve micro-based issues.

>previously shitty solutions like ethanol will start to become viable
honestly, ethanol would be viable now if it was made from silage instead of grain. there's some interesting research with jungle rots and the like looking for better ways to break down cellulose into something useful. but right now the corn industry is using ethanol as nothing more than an excuse to get subsidized.

This is what I've always thought. I know everyone here is insisting that it is defined like this, but it should at least be noted to school children that it can be expressed like this. Just so that these functions don't seem arbitary, pulled out of thin air.

I learned these series leafing through a formula book, and to later learn that these were discovered in 14th century India.

fuk u bitch

I'm not sure how to word this question.

If graham's number was physical in some way, and confined to a point in space, how large would the black hole that it spawned be?

I mean if every bit that makes up that number had the mass of some elementary particle

people tend to be really similar in their vulgar and prurient and stupid interests and wildly different in their refined and moral and intelligent interests, learn to syncretic diversity

In the most succint way possible:

With the highest levels of deregulation of investment trading amongst international financing corporations each fixing the interest rate, loans (whether it be to students or to nations as a whole) have been given without any real way for these bodies to pay.

Currently it has lead to greater neoliberalist policies being implemented by the IMF if countries choose to even take money from them; an effort to maintain capital flow through the Forex and increase capital gains and investments. However, this is at the detriment to the general society as a whole and leads to higher unemployment and decrease in wages, etc.

Goods and capital are not going to become actualized (turned into money), because of the very policies implemented.

Or at least, that's the way I am viewing it.
