probably not, but how the fuck would we even know? it's not like anybody can ever come back and tell us one way or the other

but i say apply hitchens razor: so if theres no proof of it, no point believing in it.

or ,maybe there is, and i'll be pleasantly surprised

either way, no point worrying about it.

Or rather just completely eliminate the final line. What a strange thing to put in the end.

Yes, people have been trying to exaggerate the effect on culture to man vs. effect of man on culture.

We see trough that bullshit alright.

Even inside "our" culture its very typical for less gifted people to belittle intellectual achievement. It's not an effect of culture. It's caused by lack of talent.

Uhm, anthrax and tuberculosis is contagious diseases. They can't be compared to non-contagious drugs, you asshole.

Too much Bill O'Reilly-thinking in here..
You can't explain that.

Basically, the scholarship means I'll be able to get a JD without holding any debt. Ultimately, it's more for gaining entry into a lucrative career than about the knowledge itself. The benefit of a top 20 ranked school is that firms will recruit you, rather than you having to seek out employment after graduation. As for goals in life, I don't have anything philosophically meaningful to say, though pic related is related.

Calculus for non-math majors. General education requirement.

Hey /sci/, just wanted to see if we could get a discussion going about education reform in the States. (Dunno where else to start this; and I'm guessin' you guys are the most competent out of all the boards as well.)

So basically, what do you think is wrong with America's education system? And don't just say everything (though it may seem that way...), but it'd help if you talked about specifics, and maybe even steps/solutions we could take to help fix it.

Should make for an interesting discussion...

why dont planets crash into each other, why does a heavy planet stop attracting lighter objects at a certain point?

In the name of science, I come to you.
I have a full bottle of 473 mL's worth of Hydrocodone APAP solution
If I chug some of it, would I get some kind of high and what are my chances of OD'n ?
