What's the best way to find smart people on the internet?

Say that all sapient life was confined to a simulation, and the computer had accumulated hydrogen for fuel on a cosmic scale, disassembling an entire galaxy's worth of stars into gas giants, every now and then bringing one close to the computer so it can be consumed for fuel.
How should that fuel be spent?

Should it be used for an incomprehensibly massive simulation, run for mere millions of years of internal time?
Population would be nigh-infinite.
Real-world time would be billions/trillions of years to make power and heat management easier and make lightspeed appear faster internally.

Or should it be used for a more reasonably scaled simulation, run for a nigh-infinite time?
Population would be trillions.
The simulation could run faster internally than externally if some physical process would destroy it over an absurd timescale; but the faster it runs, the bigger the computer must be, and the slower light travels across it from an internal perspective; so speeding up the simulation makes the speed of light exponentially more annoying.

Hey, I want to learn a lot more about math independently rather than watching popsci videos but I don't know where to start.

I studied Economics at university and when I was there I studied Linear Algebra and Calc I and II, but that's as far as my knowledge goes. Stuff like Number Theory or Real Analysis seems really interesting to me but I don't know if I'm going to order a textbook and I'm just not going to get it at all because there's prerequisite shit I've missed out.

Does anyone have any advice?

Does this seem like an appropriate ranking of difficulty?

T1: Turning genes on and off.
T2: One or a few promoter/protein modifications.
T3: Modifications that make changes to microstructure of the body, such as cell behaviour, arrangement, and form or even creation of new specialist cells.
T4a: Structural modifcations to the body that can be expressed even if the modification was performed on an unmodified adult human.
T4b: Structural modifications to the body that can only be expressed by those sufficiently early in development, except with suitable modifications to body maintenance.
T5: Metastructural modifications to the body; that is, what kinds of structures are created and where. Can only be expressed by modified zygotes as metastructure is locked in very quickly, except with suitable modifications to body maintenance.

T2, T3 and T4 can also be more specific with "h", "x", and "o" variants, standing for "homo/human", "xenos", and "original".
This refers to where the modification comes from. h comes from the same (or a very close) species, guaranteeing compatibility. x comes from a more distant species. o is of our own design.
Obviously, h, x, and o are easy to difficult in that order.
T1 and T5 are always h and o respectively, so this variation isn't specified.

An example of each modification tier:
T1h: Turning on the gay gene
T2x: Producing chlorophyll instead of melanin in response to sunlight
T3h: Increased bone density
T4ah: Making your hair follicles denser and thicker
T4bx: Changing your ears to become catgirl ears
T5: Adding more limbs

The reason for having such a tiering system is that it holds immense predictive power for the future.
If you know what a tier requires, you can predict when it will become available.
If you then assign a modification to that tier, you then have a good idea for when it will become available.

Just how big of a non-orbital Reactive-ion etching cannon would be required for lunar graffiti/relief carvings?
Asking for a non biased 3rd party.

Isn't bullying bad?

All I know so far is that I need a xenon flash lamp, and a crystal rod with high doping (indicated by deeper colour).
Is it as simple as wiring up a bunch of flash lamps, putting reflective sheeting around them and the rod in the middle, a mirror on the back end of the rod and a transparent mirror on the other, then just firing the flash lamps to make a pulse?

>at their brains
Are you sure about this? The rest I get, but the brains part I'm skeptical of.

You won't be using a shitty perceptron either. Google "artificial neurons" to see what they've come up with in the last few years. They claim these new neurons are actually faster than the ones you're born with.

I get my penis checked regularly senpai I can assure you it is clean down there

What else could be the cause

but there are NOT millions of either one
There are no early modern humans. They all have developed diffrent features, and also lost some
nor there are no chimps that are direct ancestors of us.

Is Jung's analytical psychology anything but a bunch of lousy pseudo-science?
