/sci/ - Science & Math

And to think, I got banned for making a "what mental illness does /sci/ think this guy has" post, while shit like this that's expressly forbidden in the rules slides on by.

What is this faggotry?

OP is probably like me, in that even if it's not 100% science related, this is where he goes in hopes of finding a rational discussion.

Which if you're willing/able to parse through the bullshit/aspies/trolls, you can often find just that on this board.

/sci/ & /fit/ are the only boards I ever see relevant information on, even if rare. I can sift through the gay porn on fit and the religious trolls here to get the nuggets of wisdom that sometimes come from here.

I think cooperatives don't work because the locus in power is decentralized (kind of the point, I know), so if you have a great idea for a business, what would you rather do? Create it, make a few decisions, and collect your money every day with a rake? Or work your ass off and be paid a fair wage? Me, personally, I'd take the "get rich" option initially, surround myself with great people, then transform my businesses into co-ops after my needs/wants are taken care of, I call it the "benevolent bastard" plan. Get mine, then take care of anyone that I can.

That being said - what's to stop a director/CEO with majority stock from genuinely taking care of his employees, and providing a greater-than-fair wage and strong benefits package? What if I ran a successful company and decided to just pull ~150k/yr so I'm wealthy and happy, instead of 25mil/yr on the backs of the employees? Why not pay employees based on company performance to incentivize hard work, without asking a factory worker to make complex, delicate economic policy decisions? This is all mental masturbation at this point, I'll never run a f-500 company, but why isn't it done like this? Treating employees well would engender loyalty and dedication rather than hostility, fewer people jumping ship means lower training costs, and people that would be more likely to make sacrifices to work there if needed...

>why not a benevolent dictatorship?

Still wanna know what branch even has isolated pockets of super religious. I could continue to argue, but if you're aspie-prodding a simple fucking question like it's the state championship for your highschool debate team, you really aren't worth speaking to.

Anyway, op, what field (feel free to be general enough that you don't give the e-detectives a scent of the trail. God forbid we let Facebook fundies know you're not only atheist, but on "the fourchannel")

>>3450657
I didn't even pose an argument, nor make a claim, or extrapolate any data, besides that he's on a "science trip", and that he's clearly being surrounded by, or has surrounded himself with christians.

Citing logical fallacies only makes you look intelligent if you're remotely accurate, now fuck off.

>I am certain this thread is legit, and not a troll.

Yep, looks good to me!

Or one could call Poe on this... Hmm.

>>3450620
This.

Also, what field of science are you in that there isn't an overwhelming atheist/agnostic majority?

'twas my response in the other thread. Filter the trips you don't like, then you don't have to see them or "deal" with them on your precious little "anonymous" imageboard...

I thought /sci/ was better than this, but I suppose it's still 4chan, after all.

I mean, some of /fit/'s tripfags seem to be on 24/7/365, they annoy me and contribute nothing (not all of them, there's actually really good trips on that board too), and even then, I can't be bothered to bitch about them tripping or even to filter them.

>>3362330
Are you seriously expecting the mods to capitulate to your whining demands, after you've attempted to make public this coup? They're just gonna ban your shitposting ass, and you're just feeding the tripfag attention whoring monster. Futile troll is futile. (unless you're just trying to annoy the people who actually want to see science & math discussions, in which case, 8/10.)

Polite sage to hopefully get this off the front page.

>>3362114
After much deliberation, would fuck. Still don't like her opinions or general attitude, but I'd hit it.
>>3362139
Not me, obv.

>>3362114
See above. God damn I really missed a key word.

Seriously though, this isn't my main board, I've watched tripfag egos/post numbers skyrocket because of hate threads and shit, then people will worship them to be "SO EDGY" because the trip becomes the victim, etc. Just stop. When they shitpost against the rules, report them, and treat them as anon, or filter their trip and ignore them completely. Unless you want this to spiral out of control and turn into a tripfag drama shitstorm board to just watch the world burn - then by all means, carry on. Not like I see a whole lot if relevant science discussion here anyway (although I truly appreciate and value intelligent discussion on here when I see it - seems to happen mostly at odd hours of the night)...

>mfw I've accomplished nothing and will only add to the faggotry
>mfw my phone can't into picture upload, thus I have no face
>mfw I don't want to live on this planet anymore.bat

So to resume, you are all immature fags.

Love you EK!

>>3362053
Yeah, missed the "not", thought the message was still clear, my bad.

>>3362039
Nothing heroic about being born with a gash. Not sure what you're implying.
>>3362037
It's a board. Anon is anon, name is name, trip is trip. Stop giving the attention whores attention. Stop making threads about them, don't respond to their posts if you wouldn't respond to the same post as anon.

You're feeding the monster, I've watched it happen on other boards, this is one of the very few problems that actually will go away if you (collectively) ignore it. Stop getting suckered in to the faggot parade.

Could just treat all name/tripfaggot shitposters as "anonymous", except that you use name/trips to connect posts (ie, admitted, intentional samefagging). If you truly hate Harriet/EK this much - you should be happy that they trip - because they're filterable.

But no, instead, let's shit up the board with spam, "dox" and harass some chick for daring to be female and model material on our sacred 4c... Or you could filter her trip and not fucking worry about them. They are irrelevant, by this kind of idiotic shitposting, you're inflating their impact on the board, filter their trip and fuck off, starve them of the attention they (so you say) crave.

Agreed, I just imagine we won't outgrow the need for corporeal bodies for labor/maintenance for some time, but I agree, that's likely the eventuality

>>3353374
I'd imagine that we could do legit space science and figure out inventive ways to slaughter in the same lab. In fact I think I'd really like to work in said lab...

I imagine we will reach such a phase, and some people alive today may see it - but it's easy to underestimate the challenge at hand, who knows what kind of cellular damage someone could accumulate in ~150 years? I imagine it'll go something like this, we solve all the natural causes of death, improve gene therapy a bit, ~2030, add 25 years onto life expectancy, further stem cell and genetic therapy improvements steadily increase survival/quality of life into the 100's, then we'll have neural interfacing with computers to a point where it's feasible to "copy" a mind, and simply give it a new body, effectively leading to immortality, circa 2070 barring unforeseen stupidity, nuclear wars, and/or global economic meltdown.

Perhaps a compromise to appeal to the war mongers is in order... We could position NASA and programs like it as potential weapon/military technology development platforms, and attempt to skew funding towards them that way.

Spend less on killing people, spend more on science, dressed as inventive new ways to kill people.

I see, thanks.

So, google/wiki has returned very little... What the fuck is a sarcoplasmic reticulum? Medfag friends don't even know...

Proxima Centauri
So that papa Carl could make us realize how tiny and insignificant all our squabbles, battles, territorial duels... Etc were
We are, by definition, the "center" of the known (read: observable) universe, yes?

Well the endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle responsible for all kinds of synthesis and metabolism in eukaryotic cells, a sarcomere is a muscle cell, so is it the ER of muscle cells? I dunno.

Ohboyherewego.jpg, AMP/ADP -> ATP by way of pyruvate/oxygen/glycolysis/all kinds of other shit?

DNA Unzipase? Or helicase or some shit? I REALLY should know this.

Oxygen
Uhh? Anything but 12? Am I misunderstanding the question?
Tritium? Could be deuterium, not a chemfag, but I'm going tritium.

Ignorant? Maybe. Shitposter? Maybe. But I'd **** that until one of us passed out from it. Same applies for Sarah palin & Ann coulter & every cute stupid bimbo I've ever met.

Psychological drug gas undefined, terms of incarceration undefined, variety of people involved unclear, living conditions... But even if you'd defined these variables, who the fuck knows.
