I could give many many more minor examples but overall, 'theories' in any subject have seen little to no change since the 1930s-1950s, their practical applications peaked in 2000s. As a result human society as a whole seem to be 'stuck', lives in developed countries aren't any radically different to what they were in 1970s, and for developing countries the 2000s.

Is humanity on the whole staring at a post-technological age where society will not evolve for hundreds of years? I mean this is the default human experience, for most of our 10000 year history, we saw rapid bursts of change followed by long duration of stagnation.

Yeah lets keep this discussion serious. Of course space the next frontier but to me it seems 'Space age' will have comparatively little impact on earth and while humanity as a whole may 'grow', humanity on earth seems to be destined to be stuck at wherever we are now. Life on earth 800 years from now will not appear too different from life today, just like life in 1200s paris, wasn't to different from life in 700s paris.

nearly maxed out act reading/writing scores but math score is considerably below average. how is this possible? my iq was tested in the 130s as a kid which should convert to like a 35 on the act, I got a 27. i dont wanna be a midwit.

I start at least 30 academic books a year but barely finish any of them. If the book is good/useful I refer back to different sections often but never read it cover to cover.

How normal is this?

is it true most people lack cognitive agency?

what did he mean by this?

why do black babies fail the mirror test while white babies pass?

If homosexuals are female-brained (as multiple studies suggest) why do they have the urge to take it up the pooper instead of up their non-existent pussy?

Will we find any evidence of extraterrestrial life within the next ~50 years?

My IQ was tested in the 130s as a child, how likely is it to have decreased since then? I’m too scared (and broke) to have it tested again

I play a game where the player randomly gets upgrades. As a result of the randomness, game sessions tend to start out wildly different from one another but become more similar the longer the game lasts and random upgrades are accrued. What is the scientific name for this phenomenon?

I just proved the twin prime conjecture to be true, but i will not share my proof with this cruel selfish world, you lot are not worthy of it

If scientists can't even reliably predict the weather or cure basic diseases like cancer, what makes them think they're qualified to speculate about the origin of the universe 14 billion years ago before the laws of physics even existed?

My IQ was tested (IRL) to be 136. My PRI score was 143. How much math could I learn before I top out?
