Well they are useless the wisdom teeth were there to chew on the harder roots and stuff whenw e were mostly herbivores in the distant past and of course they might've helped with raw meat a bit but by the time we began to human, they have began to become useless Such like that one organ or whatever appendix or something it serves no purpose anymore.
humans have screwed with natural selection in the past 50 years in humans now though like c sections have made people that are unable to give birth right live.
>>106281 So jaw bones becoming shorter over the case of 100k to million years and us adapting slowly over the millenias to eating cooked food... is not evolution?
>>106277 How the hell are those different? That's some "oh that's micro-evolution" shit
Kirara☆
>>106283 >Wisdom teeth are vestigial third molars that helped human ancestors to grind plant tissue. It is thought that the skulls of human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth, which possibly helped to chew foliage to compensate for a lack of ability to efficiently digest the cellulose that makes up a plant cell wall.[4] After the advent of agriculture 10 000 years ago, soft human diets became the norm, including carbohydrate and high energy foods. Such diets typically result in jaws growing with less forwards growth than our paleolithic ancestors and not enough room for the wisdom teeth.[5] This is not an evolutionary change, but rather an environmental change.

So the successful players are the ones who are good at that. In the legal-weed industry it's totally different: the key to doing well is being good at marketing, botany, branding and all the rest of it. The companies doing well in Colorado are the ones that are good at that stuff. They're doing things that the cartels can't possibly hope to compete with: producing very high quality marijuana in all kinds of new ways, from drinks to chocolates etc. So the cartels are in retreat. Lots of evidence on this in the book.

The Earth always accelerates upward at 1g, which is equivalent to the gravitational acceleration in the Round Earth model.

>>106514 A lot of people do this as a thought exercise and aren't serious or make shit up to feed the flatters
Universal Acceleration' is a theory of gravity within the Flat Earth Model. The traditional theory of gravity (e.g. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, General Theory of Relativity, etc) is incompatible with the Flat Earth Model because it requires a large, spherical mass pulling objects uniformly toward its center.
Rather than a downward pull due to the presence of mass, the theory of Universal Acceleration asserts that the roughly disk-shaped Earth is accelerating 'upward' at a constant rate of 1g (9.8m/sec2). This produces the effect commonly referred to as "gravity".
There are two Universal Acceleration models. The first model deals with the Universal Accelerator, which sits underneath the Earth and accelerates anything it touches. The second model deals with Dark Energy, which accelerates all celestial bodies, including the Earth, in the universe. Modern astrophysics accounts that the expansion of the universe is due to Dark Energy.

From their website >The 'atmolayer' is a series of layers of gases above inhabited part of the earth. Therefore, 'atmolayer' is the Flat Earth term for the Round Earth atmosphere. However, the terms 'atmosphere', 'atmoplane', and 'atmosplane' are all alternative names of the same thing. >The atmolayer must be contained by a barrier on finite Earth models of the theory to prevent the various gasses from flowing out into space. One model (now widely discredited) describes that the Ice Wall is tall enough to hold in the atmolayer, like the edges of a bowl. >An alternative theory says that the atmolayer is held in by a complex reaction to the streams of Dark Energy at the edge of the world. This creates a "boundary" containment. >The Dark Energy Field is a vector field. It has a gradient that is smallest at the interaction of the atmosphere and the field, called the boundary layer. The DEF interacts with the magnetic field of the earth at this boundary layer. These vectors produce a force vector that is orthogonal to the other vectors in four dimensional space. This force vector is always normal to the boundary layer, thus providing a type of forced containment for the atmosphere.

>>106539 That's not even really Occam's Razor. They're pretty much just saying "the submitted explanation is beyond my capacity to process so obviously there must be a simpler explanation." I'm sure there is heavily descriptive Flat Earth theories out there but this write-up is not providing any of them.
The sun is a sphere. It has a diameter of 32 miles and is located approximately 3000 miles above the surface of the earth.
he Sun's area of light is limited to a circular area of light upon the earth much like the light of a lighthouse is limited to a finite circular area around it. The rotating light on a lighthouse does not propagate infinitely into the distance. This means that only certain portions of the Earth are lightened at a time. It also describes how night and day arise on the Flat Earth. The apparent view of rising and setting are caused by perspective, just as a flock of birds overhead will descend into the horizon as it flies into the distance.

Similar to the seasons in Round Earth, but instead of being changed by the variation of distance of the Earth from the Sun, it is caused by a change in the radius of the sun and moon's orbit above the Earth, as shown in the image below.
>The elliptical orbits observed by Astrophysicists on earth are caused by planets moving along transparent, magnetic nexus rings. All significant celestial objects move along individual nexus rings. In addition, smaller objects such as asteroids may be slightly influenced by the pull of nexus rings. Nexus rings exert a small force on each other, but because of the vast amount of nexus rings in the universe, the net forces on each nexus ring are negligible.

what i dont think he sees because it's ingrained into him is the double binding situations that are going on where the child is psychologically soft-locked out of having sense of control or safety in their own lives // life, because it's specifically one child, and all that goes into that during the formative years of development

>>107230 yeah my manager shouted at me a lot and often I'd keep my mum waiting in the carpark because I didn't get my work done until like a half hour after my shift ended
>The weekday program airs from 7:00 to 9:00 a.min all U.S. time zones (live in the Eastern Time Zone and on tape delay elsewhere across the country). The Saturday and Sunday editions are one hour long and are transmitted to ABC's stations live at 7:00 a.m
>they live in squats, places where you don't need to pay rent Wait are those a real thing? I thought that was a thing they just made up in a movie I watched one time, I didn't think those were real
Well that might be it, but I thought Tim (whose stream I'm watching) was talking about these like, abandoned buildings where almost a tiny community comes together and just lives It seems like an odd way to live to me >>107251 Well I guess if nobody's using the building for anything in particular, nobody will notice
If you're trying to rent out office space and nobody wants it, you won't really notice if a bunch of people just hang out there, cause you're not going there to check on anything, and it's not like there's valuables in there either It'd be weird to pay for a guard for a building or space that's completely unused and only has like a few chairs and some tables, if that
Maria
>>107250 I always imagined they'd get evicted too fast to form a community
>>107250 These weird sieges to evict the tenants by cops and owners used to happen here a lot at one time. Too many buildings left unguarded and vacated
In I think it was Uganda, the main person people pay rent to isn't the guy who owns the building Scammers just sell people living space in buildings they don't even own themselves, and then when the jig is up they just bolt
Live studio audiences have gotta be one of the largest red flags a show can have If they feel like they gotta laugh for you, it's likely not accomplishing its goal of being funny
月
oh no im cold this is terrible
Kirara☆
seinfeld had a live studio audience and is the funniest show ever to air on tv
月
seinfeld has gotten really fat last i saw him
Kirara☆
yeah we didn't recognize him on that billboard
『ｓｋ』
It being a red flag doesn't mean that it's gonna be the case 100% of the time It's a red flag, not a confirmation
月
>>107290 i watched that video of him interviewing obama and i'm like "who is this? oh it's some comedian thing okay" "wow he sounds really familiar" and while i can't recognize new faces, i've seen seifeld before the accident so i can recognize him i just dont shaved head and really chubby i like it though he looks less douchy now not that he was douchy before just kind of looked it
>alternative treatment actually based on nazi technology This isn't even pol, the guy on Bill Nye's show's sound treatment is based on research done by "the Germans" during the war
月
i wonder if attachment therapy is based on nazi technology
Is the placebo effect consistent in terms of how large portion of people experience it? Like if I tell you this PILL will solve headaches, will I get the same placebo effect as if I said like, this MACHINE will solve headaches? If both are bogus
月
no it's never consistent that's the point of it it's used as a buffer in clinical trials to compare the drug against noise the placebo comparator arm will have something like 15% PFS compared to 35% for whatever medication is being tested or whatever endpoint is being measured, efficacy or safety profiles that way you can measure whether the drug has statistically and clinically significant results in the trial if placebo is 75% partial improvement and the drug is 85%, then that's probably not statistically significant
there's not really a role in using placebo as actual treatment i don't think outside of clinical trials
Kirara☆
Yeah there's really not
月
unless youre treating hypochondria i guess but i think that would probably be better treated with an actual therapy plan
月
but yeah it's never consistent it'll literally change on the same repeat trial just due to seasonal difference or weather or anything what it does do is gauge how sensitive the data is to whimsical variables like that so if 5% of patients in the placebo arm see partial improvement over 6 months and 2% over 12 months then having 15% improvement with the drug would be more clinically relevant but otherwise, 10% or so difference is generally not relevant most doctors won't even acknowledge something like that, although the FDA will
i actually have heard hundreds of doctors plan their trial designs now i could sperg out on this subject all day it's pretty interesting to me
Kirara☆
Wouldn't work for hypocondriacs Real treatmentdoesn't work for them either Even if there's a real problem they refuse to believe they're getting better
月
>>107302 that's not true i heard there was this new drug called rumyodin that works really well
They brought on some guy who thinks there might be something to some alternative medicine claims, and they just wouldn't let him finish a sentence without strawmanning him
derren brown is such a sham but i enjoy it >>107304 who is they
Kirara☆
Bill Nye
Kirara☆
+team
月
alternative medicine like herbal medicine or like homeopathy
Kirara☆
I wish Bill Nye had faded into obscurity so I wouldn't have to grow to despise my childhood heroes
『ｓｋ』
Alternative medicine like "I dunno, there might be auras even if we can't see them" Which is a fair enough statement, but Bill Nye quickly debunked his claim, saying "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN SEE AURAS?" Which is LITERALLY the opposite of what the man claimed
月
>>107311 fucking CRYSTALS applied kinesiology oh boy
i'm pretty down for eastern medicine
Kirara☆
there's a new depression treatment that uses magnets to help you sounds like alternative shit but apparently there's a lot of empirical evidence of its efficacy
月
>>107313 using this ingenious new method, we use magnets as a therapy to pull the cash right out of your pockets!
『ｓｋ』
I gotta say I'm not too thrilled by this show yet Penn and Teller's Bullshit was way fairer to the other side, and even they were a bit unfair at times
Kirara☆
>>107314 haha it's scientifically validated though and cheaper than other methods of treatment
月
no cash // wait i fucked up
『ｓｋ』
Though what should I really expect from a man who thinks people who don't believe certain things scientists say, should be in jail
月
>>107316 we could probably design and p hack a clinical trial to get anything through the FDA gates for approval
Kirara☆
>>107319 yeah sure but it wouldn't be replicable unlike this which has seen widespread replication
月
>>107320 the pentaquark was replicable actually almost everyone that tried it replicated it
Kirara☆
that's a little different than seeing legitimate behavioral changes in people and patients reporting lessened depression
>the experiments are first graders' first show about science level >the song and dance numbers are talking about sex, vaginas and tall wood sprites as a gender I'm not sure how I feel about this, man
月
>>107322 is self-reporting depression a pretty stable thing i would assume it's not really but i'm not there
Kirara☆
self-reports of depression are generally very stable the most widely used depression severity inventory (BDI-II) shows stability of like .92 over months without treatment so people generally self-report the same symptoms of depression across time unless those symptoms dissipate
月
i know for me it was never very consistent i'd go to the psych and usually report things as being somewhat better because it felt like they were better while i was at the psych but then a lot of symptoms and things that i dont think about or am not able to recall when i get back later but there's a lot of comorbidities and substance usage on my end so that's probably a thing
Kirara☆
yeah depression on something like these tests of state-sadness is usually pretty stable as long as the state is stable not that trait measures aren't stable
depression is one of the things with the most research, there's a lot of good stuff despite some bad research
depression measures all also capture anxiety as well if symptom-based e.g. BDI-II correlates .6 with anxiety inventory BAI and .47 with Hamilton anxiety inventory which is unfortunate but can't be helped
月
i can't wait for mapped consciousness uploads so we can sit on /moe/ and talk about data all day and all night i love information it's the best
Kirara☆
persona 5 had some shit with bouba/Kiki in it and now tons of losers think they are experts on the way the mind and language are related after reading the Wikipedia article on it this is terrible
