>You guys are fucking biaised toward science, it's sad. Also, if we're talking about pure, raw intelligence the number of contributions is useless.

No it isn't. Contributions correlate highly with intelligence.

LSD has been shown to be effective at treating alcohol addiction.

I have done shrooms and salvia, but i dare not do LSD. At least not yet. Surely i will do it sometime before i die.

This is false.

>If, we managed to find an intact enough Neanderthal corpse, that allowed us to clone a neanderthal; How would its intelligence, mobility, ability to communicate with modern humans pan out? And how would it differ from a modern human, if raised in modern society (albeit with government protection, obviously)?

Actually, modern humans are part neanderthals. Recent genetic evidence shows this.

I wud not be surprised if they cud learn human languages. Their brains are not that much smaller (Encephalization coefficient).

I don't think there are any moral problems with bringing them back to life.

IQ tests are not precise enough to determine who was the smartest person ever. Normal ones typically don't even work for >140.

Escape velocity, i.e. biological immortality.

Supposing that that IQ is correct or nearly so (i.e. close to ur g), then yes. Altho u may have to work harder than many other people taking that education.

Generally, most things can be taught to people of average (white) intelligence. The matter is only in how long it will take.

Just google stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felt_air_temperature
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill
etc.

There are also a list of elements that we can't live without. Iron and the one used to make DNA (phosphorus) come to mind.

>>4648809
Not true. Altho there is some connection between intelligence and malnutrition, it is that as simple as that. See e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_famine_of_1944 and the various papers that attempted to find changes in IQ becus of that event. Generally, none were found. It seems that the problems were reversible if one later received adequate nutrition again.

For sure, 1-3 days without food will not do any detectable non-reversible damage.

More testing, this time with eqn tags.

<div class="math">x = a_0 + \frac{1}{a_1 + \frac{1}{a_2 + \frac{1}{a_3 + a_4}}}</div>

>>4649007
Testing my idea.

<span class="math">a^{2}\cdot b^{2}= c^{2}[/spoiler]

Just copy the code from http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php and put in the math tags?

U're not like Will Hunting if u are that lazy. Will is not lazy.

Besides, more than smarts is necessarily for genius. Mental energy, curiosity, lack of laziness, openness to experience, etc. are all necessary.

>i'm referring to when humans were hunter-gathers. agriculture has only be around for 10,000 years. Divergences in intelligence had occurred much before this. you obvious dont have a firm understanding of anthropology.

Source for this? I suppose it's based on cranial volumes and sofistication of found artifacts?

> Hey, /sci/. Does anyone know why black people are so unintelligent? Sure, I've seen and heard of blacks who did/are doing great things. But the only one's I've seen personally are worse than cavemen.

Climate theory is the best known theory. It generally works with some problems for arctic peoples who have a larger brain than all other populations but are not as smart (altho they are not dumb either compared with most human groups).

See Richard Lynn's Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis (2006).

Yes, nuclear fission power is very safe, even with using uranium on plants with older designs. With modern designs they are much safer.

Fukushima ofc got a lot of media attention, but hardly anyone died of anything radiation related. This is in stark contrast to the hundreds of people that died from things related to coal power plants burning after the tsunama. Strangely enough, there was no focus on that. Neither was there any focus on the many people that die all the time becus the air is polluted from coal power plants. Actually more radiation is put into the air from coal power plants than nuclear power plants.

Nuclear superior.

etc.

They are really identical. I.e., 0.999... is another way of writing the number 1.

There are many proofs around. Try this one:
1/3=0.333...
3/3=0.333...+0.333...+0.333...=0.999...
3/3=1
1=0.999...

Thanks. Tho i'm certain it has been deleted for some time. Either i remembered wrong or someone cancelled the deletion process.

They don't generally pretend to like people with money. They genuinely like people with money. It's in their nature, they like good providers.

I've known it for years. Wikipedia once had a list of articles about odd things. That was one of them. Unfortunately, someone deleted that collection of articles. :(

180-90-20=θ? That sure does look like a right angle to me.

U don't think the embedding problem is enough to give up non-cognitivism?
