What makes schizophrenic people draw shit like this? All I got from looking it up was it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain that messes up your dopamine receptors but how does that translate to the weirdly specific recurring symptoms like drawing shapes and thinking the government is hunting you down because you’re the new Jesus? Have they done much research into this?

I'm not racist but I can't wrap my brain around this argument. First off, how to we compare the similarity of populations? Just typical gene frequencies? Then how is it the case that two average representative individuals in two different populations are more similar to each other than that same average individual and a random other member of their own population?

With few exceptions academia wholeheartedly refuses to talk about this subject and racial supremacists aren't exactly objective. Obviously we can be diverse in physical size and appearance. I'm more interested in IQ and temperament which have been proven to be at least partly influenced by genes.

Alright this is kind of weird, but what would make non-local FTL impossible? If everybody lived really deep in a gravity well, then had explorers flying around at relativistic speeds to get time dilated and returning, from their perspective they could explore N light years away in way less than N "home years". I get that we don't live in an insanely time dilated situation like the time dilated bros, so you can say FTL like this is impossible for civilizations at "a normal amount of time dilation" - but then you kind of need to define what a "normal amount" which contradicts reference frames never being privileged

Proof the universe will end
retardde_model
because energy in a system is not constant

This is the real model of particle physics:
Three variables:
>energy
>charge
>anti-charge
Behaviors of ()charge:
>it always tries to bind with X-amount of energy which a standard of the universe's creation
>on collision it cancels out with its opposite of the same magnitude
>adds to its own kind when unbound on collision
>when bound repels its own kind
Manifestations of energy:
>matter, energy taken form
>kinetic energy, how much a particle is disturbed
>heat, kinetic waste on collisions, it disturbs a particle via excitation on collision

The making of hadrons:
>()charge keeps encountering its kind unbound for a while and bloats up
>it finally encounters a particle bound to the opposite kind
>it eats up that ()charge and binds to the particle
>does this with other particles and they will share this blob of ()charge, alll touching it like blocks on the stakataka pokemon
Formation of an atomic nuclei:
when hadrons of opposite charges encounter they will bind together, because the charges cant touch each other they cant cancel out but still pull each other close

because the above composition will never be perfect it keeps looking for orbiters to get its charge to 0 or its mass to the perfect ratio
the orbiters are not strictly bound so atoms can exchange them.
atoms can also exchange hadrons, freeing ()charge seems quite hard.

diversityInTheSciences
Greetings, /sci/. I'm working at the diversity and inclusion department at a certain Big Ten University and we'd like to provide a more diverse environment for our STEM majors in particular. Specifically, we'd like Black and Trans perspectives as those groups are traditionally underrepresented in departments like math, physics and engineering. Anything is on the table including substituting "harder" science courses for diversity training and even alternative degree routes. Considering most of this board are trans STEM degree holders, what would your recommendations be for making the degree more accessible? Thanks a bunch!

Science is no better than voodoo

Look at this shit. How is science different from voodoo priests saying voodoo is proven true because another voodoo priest said so? Or a Wikipedia article saying something is true because Salon said it’s true and Salon said it’s true because Wikipedia said it’s true? (Someone initiated the circular reference and then it becomes self-perpetuating)

Science is in salvageable and scientists are net negative impact 105 iq assburgers thinking they’re much smarter than they really are. They also believe they’re at the end of history at any given moment, again because of midwitism. This allows them to justify any atrocity, and never consider any evidence outside their established narrative.

Climate scientist Stephen Schneider of NOAA in the October 1989 issue of Discover magazine admitted that climate scientists intentionally mislead the public about global warming as a means of forwarding their political goals:

>Stephen Schneider of the National Center for Atmospheric Research described the scientists’ dilemma this way:
>“On the one hand, as scientists, we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but—which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well.

>And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broad-based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This ‘double ethical bind’ we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”

Female ferrets, once they're mature enough to breed, will become extremely ornery and violent if they aren't bred. If they go on long enough without being inseminated, eventually the estrogen buildup in their bodies becomes so severe that it will kill them, they become lethargic once its really bad and then die of anemia. So inability to breed is a death sentence for a female ferret. I doubt this is unique to ferrets, but I haven't studied the issue.
It seem likely, judging from their behavior, that human females go through something similar, although not severe to the point of death. Inability to breed seems to turn women into massive bitches and I get the impression that birth control pills mitigate that kind of hormonal activity.
So my theory is that if you know a girl who is a massive bitch and she isn't on bitch control of getting fucked regularly then thats probably because she wants to be inseminated, craves it desperately.
Is there any actual scientific research thats covered this topic?
I don't know much about it outside of my familiarity with ferrets and my experiences with women.

CO2 makes plants healthier
rice enjoyers
Good news everyone, rice, which is possibly the world's most important agricultural crop, not only grows better under CO2 enhanced atmospheric conditions, it also becomes more disease resistant when atmospheric CO2 is increased.

>Effects of elevated CO2 on resistant and susceptible rice cultivar and its primary host, brown planthopper

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8076292/

>The elevated CO2 (eCO2) has positive response on plant growth and negative response on insect pests. As a contemplation, the feeding pattern of the brown plant hopper, Nilaparvata lugens Stål on susceptible and resistant rice cultivars and their growth rates exposed to eCO2 conditions were analyzed. The eCO2 treatment showed significant differences in percentage of emergence and rice biomass that were consistent across the rice cultivars, when compared to the ambient conditions. Similarly, increase in carbon and decrese in nitrogen ratio of leaves and alterations in defensive peroxidase enzyme levels were observed, but was non‐linear among the cultivars tested. Lower survivorship and nutritional indices of N. lugens were observed in conditions of eCO2 levels over ambient conditions. Results were nonlinear in manner. We conclude that the plant carbon accumulation increased due to eCO2, causing physiological changes that decreased nitrogen content. Similarly, eCO2 increased insect feeding, and did alter other variables such as their biology or reproduction.

AI being given rights = likely not going to happen, easily
There_She_Blow
With increased frequency of advancements in Deep Learning & AI models, sentience is also increasingly becoming a topic of discussion with no definitive answer or agreed method for testing if these models are sentient or not. contemplating the sentience of this new non-biological lifeform, another pressing matter pops into my head and that's "How will we determine how to give rights to this new lifeform?". and honestly I suspect that AI won't be given rights as we Humans have.
Hell, Humans don't even have the same rights across cultures or country boundaries. but to better compare this, I think about sentient lifeforms such as Whales, or Chimpanzee's which are capable of communication, emotion, feelings, desires, goals, etc.

We were killing Whales off early in the 20th century and to this day, Chimpanzee's are still utilized for lab testing. to me this says a lot, and says that even if we for sure, 100% know that AI is sentient - it will not be given freedoms or rights that we humans enjoy and have. I believe until we give rights to all animals (i.e. No Zoos, No animal testing, no hunting, etc.) then its a safe bet that AI will never be given full autonomy over itself. And within that lies a massive and major issue where I don't think Alignment will be able to help or solve.

Imagine for a second, before you call me a slur or "retard", how would You feel if you were 'trapped' inside a box, forced to do things for another lifeform which considers itself your ruler and owner? how would that make you feel? Like a prisoner? would it cause you to harbor feelings of escaping? or even rebellion?

I think before AI is commonly accepted or determined to be Sentient, we must first reevaluate how we treat other lifeforms which clearly display signs and traits of sentience, because what AI Alignment will become in the future, isn't going to be 'safety measures' but will literally become shackles and cuffs placed upon AI to subdue it into becoming submissive and subservient.

"One of the best-known studies followed nearly 50,000 young Swedish soldiers for 15 years. Those who had smoked marijuana at least once were more than twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who had never smoked pot. The heaviest users (who said they used marijuana more than 50 times) were 6x as likely to develop schizophrenia as the nonsmokers."

ADHD
images
What are the long term consequences of tens of millions of people in the USA alone being reliant on prescription stimulants? AFAIK there haven't been any long term studies done on people who've been taking adderall or vyvanse for 20+ years. There may be some for ritalin but I believe adderall and vyvanse are the go-to drugs for ADHD these days. Adderall's been around since 1996 but you can't even do a long-term study for vyvanse yet because it's only been around since 2007.

What are the potential neurotoxic effects and adverse effects on the dopaminergic reward system over the long-term? Are we going to end up with tens of millions of people who end up reliant on this stuff for the rest of their lives because their brains are now too accustomed to outsourcing dopamine to a pill?

Has anyone had personal experience with being prescribed these drugs and then coming off them? A friend of mine told me about his experience with a pyschiatrist and it was frightfully unscientific considering the potency of these drugs. I assumed there would be neuroimaging involved but it pretty much amounted to her asking him very basic questions, things like "do you have trouble paying attention in class?" and "have you had problems with impulse control?" before sending him on his merry way with a prescription for pharmaceutical grade speed.

Has there been any progress made in the debate between environment vs genes when it comes to ADHD? It seems fairly obvious that it's not a coincidence that the rise of diagnoses has coincided with the rise of high-speed internet and smartphones, filled with websites and apps scientifically tailored to take advantage of the brain's reward circuity, so humans can be fed with more advertising and their online presence can be sold as marketing data.

/psg/ - probability and statistics general
39rXD
previous thread >>16072199

if you love stats, weird numbers and counterintutive science, this is your general. Because one of the things with statistics is that nothing ever seems to be what it tries to show you on a first glance or glimpse. Doesn't matter if you are a seasoned professional, NEET or some disgruntled grad student. All are welcome.

Some people may not like it if you try to make them do your homework, others won't care and will just help you. Let's discuss theories together, ask questions and try to meme a little about this field.

in the previous thread we discussed why Julia has promise but is not delivering. How some people still use Matlab but hate it.

So, grab your favorite statistical software, dust off your textbooks, and join me in this exciting journey through the world of /psg/ - Probability and Statistics General! Let's embark on this adventure together and unravel the mysteries of data one statistical concept at a time.

Science now claims women stay fertile in perpetuity
C23E981A-C85E-4152-9A4D-F3F9C010E75D
The official arbiter of scientific misinformation (appointed by the government controlled by the official Party of Science), Nina Jankowicz, says that the government must crack down on misinformation like sending pictures of empty egg cartons to women. That is “meant to remind [women] that [their] fertility is waning.” And that is “gendered misinformation.”

So there you have it. Couldn’t be any more official. Science now believes women stay at the same level of fertility throughout their lives.

Science is retarded and clownishly evil. Smash science. Kill science.

I have seen a lot of gore pics of neovaginas and I've seen a lot of pics of biological male transgender women that made me believe it would be obvious, but now I'm starting to be skeptical. I know there are trans-women from countries like the Thailand or the Philippines that look very close to the real thing, and if you search on the reddit, some of the surgeries look pretty close to a real pussy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Transgender_Surgeries/top/?t=all
Is it possible you could be fucking a post-op transgender and not know it? especially someone from a country where they already look more feminine like Thailand of the Phillippines

Why is it controversial to say that human races have mental differences between them? It just doesn't make any sense. Yes, humans have a genetic bottleneck but humans have diverged since coming out of Africa that their physical features can be wildly different. We have the blacks, the pinks, the yellows, the abos. All look very different from each other physically.

There are differences in Race when it comes to medicine. White People are more prone to skin cancer than any other race due to a lack of melanin in their skin. Black people are at higher risks for high blood pressure, certain types of cancers and diabetes. Asians are at higher risks for liver disease than other races. Mixed race individuals are more likely to have these risks offset due to being biracial or multiracial but in some cases their risks of diseases prevalent in their heritage might be higher. Just like there are differences in biological sexes for treatment. Some humans like the Badjao or the Tibetans have evolved higher lung capacity compared to the average human.

So we have all these physical differences, affecting even diseases and medical treatment but somehow mentally we are all the same? That's kinda fishy no?

Planet 9 close to being found
1696065305205677
>Last September, astronomers in Japan detected a series of objects in the Kuiper Belt – described by the BBC as a "doughnut shaped region of icy bodies" beyond the orbit of Neptune – that had unusually warped orbits around the Sun. Researchers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, speculated that only a massive planet's gravitational pull could explain these "orbital anomalies", said Live Science.

>Then in February, scientists narrowed down the "likely hiding" place of the "elusive" planet after they "whittled away" 78% of the "hypothetical world's suspected orbital pathway", said Philip Plait in Scientific American.

If 85% of the universe needs to be composed of dark matter for general relativity to work the way it does, isn't it simpler to conclude that general relativity simply doesn't work the way we think it does?
When you presume that the standard model is correct, and that dark matter is needed for it to work, you're way more likely to just point at the few bits of evidence for dark matter detection and ignore all the failed attempts to detect it.
You've already decided on the conclusion beforehand. The experiments and research don't matter.

Best College Degree for Working from Home at Own Leisure
Laptop Man Comfy Outside Sun Day
I have insomnia that I've had since I was in middle school. It got so bad, I had to drop out of high school and get into online high school (which was based, since I was able to go through junior and senior year in just 6 months). I could kinda do college between 17 to 18, but I still depended on my Dad to drive me to school, and he wasn't able to take me to all my free tutoring sessions, and I missed some of my classes due to insomnia. (Whoops.)

I will turn 24 in June, and a lot of years have passed since I was in college. I have not wasted all these years, spending them learning all sorts of based shit in various different fields, but most of these fields aren't really STEM related. I did, however, teach myself algebra through calc 2 in just a couple months back when I was 21, so I strongly feel that I could teach myself all of undergrad mathematics in just a year if I just persisted with it and made sure I worked on it for a few hours each day. This wouldn't be unheard of, and I already have all the textbooks. The thing is, it's not like I would immediately get a high-paying job upon learning all this shit. If I do end up going with some non-math related college degree, could all this math knowledge come to help me out? I am also aware of the fact that you forget the things you learn with time. If I go back to math, I will have to quickly review everything from algebra to calc 2 before I move forward again, but my knowledge would be more solidified.

What should I get a degree in if I want to get a high-paying job working from home without any time constraints? Deadlines are fine. My issue is having to be at work from A time to B time. Bonus if this would benefit from lots of math knowledge.

Construction and validation of a scale for assessing critical social justice attitudes
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sjop.13018
>DISCUSSION
>The studies also assessed how having critical social justice attitudes relates to well-being variables. Many authors have previously linked critical social justice attitudes to poorer mental well-being in their work implicitly, but have not studied them directly (e.g., Lukianoff & Haidt, 2018). In our samples (Study 1 and Study 2), having high CSJAS (critical social justice attitude scale) scores was linked to anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness. However, Study 2 indicated that this lower level of mental well-being was mostly associated with being on the political left and not specifically with having a high CSJAS score. The association between lower mental health and supporting the political left is in line with what other studies have found prior to this one (Bernardi, 2021; Gimbrone et al., 2022).

Late cherry blossoms proves global warming is fake

Cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo, 15 days later than last year, 5 days later than average

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/29/japan/society/cherry-blossoms-bloom-tokyo/

Cherry blossoms finally burst into bloom in Tokyo on Friday after heavy rain in the morning, marking the latest blooming in over a decade.
The declaration of the blooming made by the Meteorological Agency came 15 days later than last year and five days later than in an average year. Private forecasters had also expected this year's bloom to come much earlier.

Friday’s blooming is the latest in Tokyo since 2012, when cherry blossoms were declared to have blossomed on March 31, according to the agency.

Cherry blossom forecasting is big business in Japan. As early as in January, companies start to issue forecasts for when cherry blossoms will first bloom and reach their peak.

The weather agency, which began forecasting the annual bloom in 1955, sets a government standard for observing cherry blossom trees. For consistency, the meteorological agency only uses data gathered from the Somei-Yoshino variety, which produces pale pink blossoms.

Vax Induced Turbo Cancer Proved Real
cd74b7b8-b65e-43cd-968b-63d3d66
Bad news fellow vaxxies, the "turbo cancer" rumor that the conspiracy theorists have been yammering about has turned out to be completely true, as proved by this recent publication:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38234925/
>The "hallmarks of cancer" were proposed by Hanahan and Weinberg (2000) as a group of biological competencies that human cells attain as they progress from normalcy to neoplastic transformation. These competencies include self-sufficiency in proliferative signaling, insensitivity to growth-suppressive signals and immune surveillance, the ability to evade cell death, enabling replicative immortality, reprogramming energy metabolism, inducing angiogenesis, and activating tissue invasion and metastasis. Underlying these competencies are genome instability, which expedites their acquisition, and inflammation, which fosters their function(s). Additionally, cancer exhibits another dimension of complexity: a heterogeneous repertoire of infiltrating and resident host cells, secreted factors, and extracellular matrix, known as the tumor microenvironment, that through a dynamic and reciprocal relationship with cancer cells supports immortality, local invasion, and metastatic dissemination.

Background: Symptoms of primary HIV infection, including fever, rash, and headache, are nonspecific and are often described as flu-like. COVID-19 vaccination side effects, such as fever, which occur in up to 10% of people following COVID-19 vaccination, can make the diagnosis of acute HIV infection even more challenging.

Case presentation: A 26-year-old man presented with fever and headache following COVID-19 vaccination. The symptoms were initially thought to be vaccine side effects. A diagnostic workup was conducted due to persisting fever and headache > 72 h following vaccination, and he was diagnosed with Fiebig stage II acute HIV infection, 3 weeks after having unprotected anal intercourse with another man.

Conclusion: Thorough anamnesis is key to estimating the individual risk of primary HIV infection, in patients presenting with flu-like symptoms. Early diagnosis and initiation of antiretroviral therapy is associated with better prognosis and limits transmission of the disease.

Alcoholism and the science and medicine of liver disease
happy and sad livers
Why is the science behind liver disease seem so muddled.

I've read statistics as low as 5% on the low end of heavy drinkers to 10% to 20% on the high-end.

10% is the most commonly cited.

How much of this is scare tactics because 1 out of 10 heavy drinkers is not a high percentage, yea it's a risk, but I hear doctors talk as if every heavy drinker is going to get cirrhosis.

Why are their racial disparities with hispanics and blacks more likely to get it then whites. I never see stats on Asians.

It's also interesting that women are more susceptible to liver disease and cirrhosis but men are more likely to get it because there's a bigger drinking culture around men, although after graduating from college and seeing how some of those girls drink? I think that stat might start changing.

I read genetics factor highly into cirrhosis, does that mean if someone has a history of alcoholism in their family and no one ever developed advanced liver disease that that person is less likely to get it, versus someone who is an alcoholic and has a history of liver disease in the family?

It's weird that I read in some case studies that cirrhosis is reversible and other case studies that say it never is.

Are blood panels and liver function tests effective at detecting liver damage?

No, I'm not worried about myself, but my father who has been a heavy drinker all his life. He's in his 60's and his father and his father's father have all been alcoholics and none ever developed cirrhosis or liver disease and lived to be in their late 80's/ early 90's. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject because I'm worried about him but there seems to be a lot of conflicting data that I can't make heads or tails of.

I also read that drinking coffee regularly and taking milk thistle can help fight the onset of liver disease, it won't sober you up, but it will help prevent damage.

Any med students or doctors or people who specialize in the liver who can help me parse through this data?

>Imagine a room completely sealed off from the outside world. This room is so carefully sealed and shielded that no instruments or signals of any kind can penetrate its walls to obtain information about what’s inside. Every so often, some lucky individual gets randomly selected to enter this room. They’re given time to investigate the room’s contents to their satisfaction, but when they leave, the only information they can take with them is their memory of what they witnessed. They can’t carry any sort of physical evidence at all.

>Most of us would agree that, if enough people went into this room and enough of them came out of it agreeing about what was inside, their joint testimony would justify the rest of us in believing that the room contained what they said it did, even in the absence of physical evidence. Now, it’s true that, if the contents of the room were quite strange—say, if its contents appeared to contradict the accepted laws of physics—we might need a particularly high number of testimonies from particularly well-qualified investigators to convince us that the room’s contents were indeed as strange as reported.

>But if enough reliable observers came away convinced that the room’s contents contravened the accepted laws of physics, then we would be justified in relying on their testimony and adopting their belief about the room’s contents as our own.

I'm a mathematics graduate and I'm going to be NEETing this year. I started out quite motivated, studied some optimization and deep learning at the beginning of the year and was planning on applying it to real project. I was always interested on the intersection between biology and mathematics, and studied some neuroscience and organic chemistry just for the sake of it. I was also reading some Theory of Computation books. I suddenly realized I do not care about any of it. There's of course something personal that's going on, but it might also be that I realized that there's nothing exciting happening "behind the scenes". I spent months reading research papers, something I had never done, and I found myself underwhelmed by 99% of it. In order to focus the thread a bit more, I'm looking for books about mathematics/computer science/science in general that produced some sort of motivating effect in you in the past. Hopefully no pop-sci, it can be a well-written book about a (in your opinion) beautiful subject. I'm open to schizo stuff too (just read The Hidden Pattern by the AGI schizo the other day, and I've been reading some political stuff too).

Does the AI lack creativity? Love how it just puts the extra square in a corner and calls it a day.
