Was Carl Sagan really a meme scientist? He started the tfw too intelligent trend and most of pop-sci but I wouldn't say he was a meme scientist, he was a very gifted chemist and astronomer, likewise he lowered the conditions heavily in the search for alien life.

But since you asked

I would have said Stephen Hawking but that's because he's overrated rather then a meme, he has high contributions to physics but he isn't this second-coming of Einstein nor has he done anything outside of his work on black holes.

>> No.9447878

>>9446644
Richard Feynman was a genius who made important contributions.

Carl Sagan ended up largely being a public educator and he was good at it. He inspired a generation of scientists and astronomers to look at the world in a different way. The only reason you dislike him is because you're insecure and you want someone to look down on, so you choose him because he talked to the common people and loved humanity instead of being a stuck up bore.

>Social withdrawal [...] and loss of motivation [...] are all common in schizophrenia
>Negative symptoms are deficits of normal emotional responses or of other thought processes, and are less responsive to medication. They commonly include flat expressions or little emotion, poverty of speech, inability to experience pleasure, lack of desire to form relationships, and lack of motivation.
>individuals with schizophrenia tend to remember all words equally regardless of their connotations, suggesting that the experience of anhedonia impairs the semantic encoding of the words

No, problem is that schyzoid behaviour today is characterized by the motivation not accepting hierarchy or authority of one person proclaiming he understand's whole.

Also, I find antypsichotcs demotivating at anything and making one not rembemer and being demotivated.

CONTROLLABLE is term for being MOVABLE by MOTIVATION they use to controll you.

If you have own motivation you lack their motivation. They are not even lying, and how can you be motivated by them, if you motivate yourself? So you must be haved motivation loops being absolutely anihillated so they can be PART of your life FORCEFULLY.

Dude haven't noticed somebody's signing his anything and is okey with that.

You are schyzophrenic once you don't exist in analysis, analysis is normalized. Deal with it. That's math.

Can one of you use words here to describe anything without fear of being threated by machine in any means for being understood by many but not the machine itself being dangerous for stability of it's predictions, just because when you want to make predictions in politics to be right you have to make them?

e.g. Can one instead of predicting economic growth, make economics growing?

Do you know why you can't get 20% of annual economic growth, and IMO is rookie number,

You can't predict it.
