I just found out I'm going to be a father.

Please provide for me all the data on vaccines, clamping, and other pitfalls of the modern era for optimizing health against profit driven hospitals.

I am looking to try and just get the 1985-1994 vaccine schedule for the kid (inactivated, no mRNA shit) so they don't have any trouble in my state going to school or other programs by requirement.
Wife and I got those shots and we turned out fine. Its 18 doses by age 6 (and starting at 2 months) but it seems spread out and tepid compared to the 80 they have going on now that starts at fucking birth.

The Star Trek connection

A surprising number of child sex abusers appear to be Trekkies. Trying to figure out what that means, however, shows how little we really know about pedophiles

The first thing detectives from the Toronto police sex crimes unit saw when they entered Roderick Cowan's apartment was an autographed picture of William Shatner. Along with the photos on the computer of Scott Faichnie, also busted for possessing child porn, they found a snapshot of the pediatric nurse and Boy Scout leader wearing a dress "Federation" uniform. Another suspect had a TV remote control shaped like a phaser. Yet another had a Star Trek credit card in his wallet. One was using "Picard" as his screen name. In the 3 1/2 years since police in Canada's biggest city established a special unit to tackle child pornography, investigators have been through so many dwellings packed with sci-fi books, DVDs, toys and collectibles like Klingon swords and sashes that it's become a dark squadroom joke. "We always say there are two types of pedophiles: Star Trek and Star Wars," says Det. Ian Lamond, the unit's second-in-command. "But it's mostly Star Trek."

This is one of the boards newest generals. Fairly high activity due to edge lords trying to be funny but instead spreading facts about the absolute state of our world.

Intro stats is fairly easy, intermediate stats come the programming and we have already have several battles about what language is the best in the thread. Nobody uses SAS funnily enough, SPSS has had some people trying to joust the edgelords who are into R and C++, while the stata children are silent as usual.

Come one, come all. State your dumb questions, /pol/tardy or not. Some fairly useful and funny math is showcased in this thread.

Springer's UTX series has a book on Stochastic PDE's that is pretty easily accessed via PDF. I've only actually gone through Ch. 4 and Ch. 5 because the rest seemed pretty standard SDE stuff but it's probably a step in the right direction (and might be free for you to download).

The 2021 edition of Kallenberg also has a chapter on PDE's if Kallenberg is your speed.

Both, AI and women:
- can't make genuinely funny jokes
- can't create anything truly original. everything they do is based on pattern matching
- learn by merely grasping outter layers of ideas
- can exist only because of the supervision of the system
- never self-directed
- they feel great spending long time on elaborating on some artificial, made up, shallow and fake stuff due to lack of awareness
- they constantly make shit up when they don't know something
- no soul

>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?

I have been researching prime numbers for over almost 1 year and a half now (well much less since I was slacking off for some moments).
I had gone deep down to the thicket of ergodic theory, topological algebra and profinite groups in order to understand and share new perspective on primes and their distribution in some irreducible small degree polynomials and yet I feel depressed and bored to the point that I can't finish writing the paper.
How do you force yourself to work after you achieve something and think about how much there is still ahead to complete?

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.”

>>16181179
Tree rings only correlate very weakly with temperature. They correlate somewhat well with average temperatures from 1880 to 1960, but since 1960 the relationship diverges. Scientists have some ideas about how to explain the divergence, but they don't know for sure.
If tree rings only correlate weakly with temperature, and if we can't even explain deviations in that correlation in the modern era, how can we possibly have any confidence in what tree rings might tell us about the weather in the ancient past?
Anyway, the burden of proof is on the tree-ring enthusiasts, not me.

>Tree rings
Why are you so obsessed with one kind of temperature proxy? It is because you get BTFO whenever you discuss any other proxy? Tell me, have you ever heard of the xenon temperature proxy?

Science won't build a stairway to heaven. Every attempt to do so have only made our existence worse.

It's both push and pull.

It's not enough to simply "pull up" the inferior as that has very hard limits on its effectiveness, they must push down those with ability.

The mania with which the government and medical establishments pushed the injections, permitting no discussion and no alternatives. Even naturally acquired immunity was declared ineffective in order to require those people to get the injections. It quickly became evident that the injections had nothing to do with preventing the spread of the virus. When it's clear that someone has a hidden motive, it's irrational to go along with their stated, obviously disingenuous, goal.

It started before that even. At least in my area. Even before the products were available.
For me it was never their goals (testing for social and political homogenicity) being disingenuous but the horrifying dynamics. Any form of cooperation could've been mistaken for approval. No one who participated can claim they didn't know whats going on or rely on an excuse that has never worked in the mind of any human being: 'It would have been me if I had not gone along.'
>>
>>16181218
You misrepresent them. "Naturally acquired immunity" that someone acquires after having had covid is (almost?) as good against covid as a vaccine - you're just a lot more likely to get complications from covid than the vaccine, and the entire point was that the healthcare system couldn't handle so many people getting full-blown covid and requiring hospital beds and ventilators (not to mention that many of them would die, which I suppose does render them technically immune). Still, if you had had covid recently, you were advised against getting a vaccine, and if you'd had covid after the first shot, you weren't required to get a booster. So, the effectiveness of naturally acquired immunity was acknowledged on the individual level, whilst also highlighting its complete ineffectiveness as a means of preventing the spread of covid, because it in fact requires the rampant spread of covid.
Then there was also the anti-vax talking point of conflating naturally acquired immunity with "natural immunity" which basically amounted to "if you take your vitamins you won't get sick so nothing to fear", and that is of course completely misguided.
