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.

>Eugenics is bad because...BECAUSE IT JUST IS OK
>it does NOT benefit a society to have people who are stronger, smarter, and healthier

What actual arguments can be made against eugenics? I'm not even saying restricting certain people from breeding (although that should be a thing too, but only in extreme cases such as chemically castrating pedophiles), but simple incentives and programs for people who have certain desirable genes. Why is this often turned into a moral issue? Why would it not objectively improve society?

>>
>>16160010
basically this >>16160024

more generally, there's no way to make it objective, non-corrupt, flawless.
the incentives would be chosen by people
if the incentives are chosen by some kind of formula, the formula is chosen by people.
the incentives are applied/given by people.

PEOPLE do this and that to one another, no matter how many layers of automation/abstraction are in between. what people choose to do, who to cooperate with, what to do away with, is all that matters. nothing else lasts.

What will happen to rainfall. Will it decrease gradually. Like 2/3rd rain in first year after nuclear war, 1/3rd rain in 2nd year and no rain in 3rd year.

Also suppose an allout nuclear war, will the human civilization go back to medieval era?

And are their nuclear missiles or is it dropped from a jet. Wouldn't they be easily destroyed?

It will decrease. Or it will increase.

other countries let you go to medschool right out of HS and dont make you stay as long either. their doctors also dont make 300k starting either.
people are also shit at time management in general and like to procrastinate, so the extra material means they have to spend more time studying (and wasting more time inbetween studying) than they would in undergrad. not to say there isn't a lot of studying, but most people you hear bitching are lazy.
lastly, keep in mind that a majority of medstudents are now women and women bitch about everything.

take it from a "nerd"
don't waste your high school and undergrad on studying unnecessarily. Yes, study to get into med school etc. But absolutely no more.
My personal experience with med school is not so much the hours, but rather permanent mental load of medicine. I can't come home after placement like a nurse and switch off completely. I have to always have in the back of my head: study, research/audits, extra-curriculars (society shit, teaching), part-time work etc. I also was silver-spooned as fuck and adjusting will make you complain.

>154 PSGs
You don’t seem to understand the paper’s findings. 154 PSGs being observed in humans does not mean that there is a difference of 154 genes between humans and chimps. It just means that 154 genes are being positively selected for since humans and chimps diverged. The same goes for the 233 PSGs observed in the chimp genome, chimps having a higher number of PSGs in that study doesn’t mean they’re more evolved. The number of genes involved is not as important as the expression of those genes. A gene related to brain growth could be the same in humans and chimps but result in different levels of cognitive development if it’s expression in humans is 100x higher. The processes involved in the evolution of the human brain are not fully understood, so you can’t act like you’ve figured it all out after reading one paper

I'm given these variables
target velocity
target acceleration
target position (XYZ)
missile velocity
missile acceleration
missile position (XYZ)

I believe I calculated line of sight correctly (rotation vector = R(range) cross product Vr(velocity) / R dot product R), but the thing I'm ripping my hair out over is calculating fucking missile guidance via pronav with it.
This is the equation I'm using
Commanded Acceleration = N(constant) * Vc * LOS_Rate + ( N * Nt ) / 2

I've already looked at youtube and the wikipedia page for equations but they don't work and I can't get them to work even if I plug everything in. How the everloving fuck am I supposed to get my missile to receive guidance?

Picrel is a equation I see that makes zero fucking sense on how to solve it, I already tried googling what the fuck the || around variables means but it just returns nothing

and before you go
>hurr durr watch this literalwho youtube course on le physics course!!

Some time ago I bought a big, old, used mathematics textbook for almost nothing. It was from 1972, the 13th edition. It included precalculus, calculus and some linear algebra. All theorems had great demonstrations and there were more than thousand exercises in total. This was the basic first year textbook for all hard sciences and engineering in my country back in the 50s and 60s.
It is stupid how much more slow, steep this book is compared with my modern equivalent without taking into account just how much more content there were.
Kids today just don't study. There see no point in earning grades as they are already given into them (I don't care about this guy but I concur with his main point):

Considering how many more Asians have existed than Europeans and considering how hard Europeans have brutally mogged Asians in EVERY intellectual pursuit, you have to question the IQ testing and its limitations. Maybe this has to do with who takes the tests or what the tests are measuring or what they are not measuring. In terms of EQ the Jews mog everyone, which is how they are able to manipulate and parasite.

Got it, so acephalic stormfronters would like to use IQ tests to bash browns and blacks, and simultaneously discredit them for placing asians and "jews" above them.

You inconsistency is almost admirable - I feel a moderate amount of pity for all of you, and for whatever tragedy in your lives that led you to such absolutely incomprehensible worldviews.

>Humanity/non-STEM majors can graduate with a bachelor's degree all the way up to a PhD without taking uber basic math (Calculus I-III, basic Probability/Statistics, Linear Algebra)

THIS is the reason why humanity majors are retarded brainlets that contribute nothing to the world. You can't be expected to be a scholar when you're missing the bare fundamentals of logic in the form of mathematics.

Did it always used to be this way, bros? What would the state of the world be if we collectively enforced the bare minimum of academic standards towards anyone trying to get a degree?
