/sci/ - Science & Math

Even if it is unfalsifiable and would indicate our lives don't matter/aren't real, we should still live as if they do in the off chance that you're wrong.
I honest to God cannot prove I am not living in a simulation and everything I know is a lie. But I can live a healthy life obtaining as much knowledge as I can and leading in what I believe to be is life's purpose, and if none of that matters, then none of that affects me anyways. But say I dedicate my life to believing I'm in a simulation, and I spend all of the time I have before I die trying to prove it or going on GTA style crime sprees because my actions don't have real consequences, and it turns out that I'm wrong and everything I did does indeed matter?

Don't let the fantasy of living in a simulation disrupt the living of a healthy lifestyle where your choices matter. Don't waste your life in the case that you do actually have one.
Case closed.

A lot of psychology is retarded and based moreso on superstitious beliefs than actual scientific data.
Right off the bat, the solely biological approach to psychology is the only real approach; and yet the approaches of spirit and all that >>>/x/ tier bullshit are /still/ debated and even accepted today. If you believe that there is something beyond the chemistry and physics of neurons firing and their uniquely arranged structures that causes everything from psychosexual development to memories to consciousness, you need to off yourself and the classroom of whatever psychology class you took immediately. A large bulk of psychology is a meme field.

Even dream interpretation is still pagan in origin of its understanding and actually practical approaches are even ignored (and the approach of, "if you see a spider with cat ears that means you have a healthy sex life Lol rawr XD!!!1!1!!" is STILL FUCKING ACCEPTED).
Take it from a mate who took psychology as a minor. It's fucking retarded once you really look in to the nitty gritty. Hell, any mental illness could be cured with a very precise neural rearrangement in the right area, but otherwise will continue to be taught.

>that one girl who interrupts the lecture and makes the professor re-explain a concept she doesn't understand

It wasn't even something that would be on an exam, it was just a 'fun fact' type thing about the optics of the eye.

No. It's not a science.

And that's coming from a linguist.

I am right, though.

So I can't get hw help on this board? Made a thread earlier about a chem problem I was having trouble with and it was taken down. Wtf?

what do the /sci/entists think about "genderqueer"

For all of you in your exam periods,

goodluck and I hope you do well. I got 6 exams myself. How do you all keep yourself sane during this time? I need to think of some things to help me through studying; snacks, activities to take breaks with,etc that will keep me from choking.

Dude you are quite the bitch around here. I don't think I have ever seen you contribute anything to this dying board. (Unless you count trolling)

Why don't the mods just ban your ass or something. Also aren't you a bio major, which is just as bad as liberal arts. You faggot.

IM SO SHOCKED!

What does /sci/ think about the current financial state?
The financial games of stockmarketing and the silly depts have no exit. There are more depts than there is money, and if they make more money then it inflates and cannot be used to pay depts.
World possibly couldnt get into this state without some possibly solution, what am i missing?

Genetics of brain structure and intelligence.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15651931
>Genetic influences on brain morphology and IQ are well studied. A variety of sophisticated brain-mapping approaches relating genetic influences on brain structure and intelligence establishes a regional distribution for this relationship that is consistent with behavioral studies.We highlight those studies that illustrate the complex cortical patterns associated with measures of cognitive ability. A measure of cognitive ability, known as g, has been shown highly heritable across many studies. We argue that these genetic links are partly mediated by brain structure that is likewise under strong genetic control. Other factors, such as the environment, obviously play a role, but the predominant determinant appears to genetic.

Feels extra bad. Fuck being a /sci/ence major. Should have done Finance/Math w/ $300k starting.
