Euclid says a number is something that has a ratio to another number and that its ratios are unique. You seem to be elevating Stevin's medieval infinite decimal form of a real number over the traditional (and based) definition from Euclid, if I am understanding your non-acceptance of the unique ratio I specified as the definition of the number. If so, perhaps you can say why you prefer Stevin of Euclid?

My gut tells me that there has to be an end to the beginning, so inclined not to believe in steady-state or constant dark matter, as described above. Kinda feel like it has to all come back to the beginning again, so maybe the big crunch (little evidence) or the big rip. Big freeze sounds frightening.

Not really a scientific question but still close enough: how immoral is pornography? Because it's an addiction I find very hard to kick. Hell, it's hard to kick the habit of pretending to be a Chad online and getting pics from sluts.

To reel it back into the scientific sphere: how do you kick the addiction? I just can't stop cooming. Should I downgrade to more softcore stuff like /s/?

I interned while going to CC and got into a top tier school where I now do research, so not really. You just have to seek out opportunities. It definitely helps to transfer into a research university if that's what you're into.

I do feel kind of bad about missing the "college experience" that people talk about as it's hard to make a solid group of friends after freshman/sophomore year, but I've saved quite a bit of money.

If by "climate" you mean the political climate and by "nukes" you mean assassination then yes.

>In the Sokal Hoax (1996), at Duke University, the physicist Alan Sokal submitted to the culture-studies journal Social Text a pseudo-scientific report—which postulated that the law of gravity is a social construct—in order to test if the magazine would "publish an article liberally salted with nonsense, if (a) it sounded good, and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions." Social Text published Sokal's paper without checking the facts or correcting mathematical and scientific errors. When Social Text published the unverified article, Sokal said "my little experiment demonstrate[s], at the very least, that some fashionable sectors of the American academic Left have been getting intellectually lazy."[14]

I do like salads, thank you.

You would default me as crazy no matter what I chose to believe as long as it is not what you believe. I do not understand this reasoning. You have bold claims to objective truth's existence and yet you live a completely personalized experience! How dare you claim that is happening out side yourself when you can not even truly know it's anything beyond perception. Shared phenomena in the form of perceiving a confirmed experiment to confirm remade results sounds like the most boring experience possible.

I am posting all of this unironically as it is what I verified. I believe it obvious for there to be many discrepancies in between you and I.

>What decides the use of "in" as a prefix? Absolutely nothing.
you know when english is your first language you really do take for granted how absolutely retarded it is as a whole. I can't imagine what its like to learn for others

>why is there something rather than nothing?
this is by far the most unsettling thing to think about for me
