There is no paradox when you consider how rare life is.

I think it's because no organisms are currently inhabiting our small part of the galaxy or maybe universe (I emphasis currently). Maybe at one point there was an group of organism. Populations of organisms might just not live long enough to evolve into complex intelligent life forms (Intelligent enough to survive catastrophic events). This also applies to life on earth, In all likelihood, sometime soon (A few million years), life will be totally wiped out.

Two things:

1) Neanderthals had bigger brains than humans and they went fucking extinct, and were dumber. This point illustrates how your insinuation is based on your lack of understanding of basic biology. Off yourself.

2) Don't off yourself yet, off yourself knowing that there are women in STEM RIGHT NOW with smaller brains than you and have achieved a lot more and are far smarter than you will ever be.

It's 50-50, since you can rule out the grey box. It's also a feint of the Monty Hall problem, which is probably where the stupidity comes from. The difference is so slight that it's almost unnoticeable.

If there is a gold ball in the box, what is the probability of the other one being gold.

[math]P(G|G) = \frac{P(G \wedge G)}{P(S \wedge G) + P(G \wedge G)} = \frac{1/3}{1/3 + 1/3} = \frac{1}{2}[/math]

What he does is let [math] x(t) = \hat{x}e^{i\omega t}[/math] with [math] \hat{x} [/math] some constant because you know that the position will be a function of [math] t [/math] only in that form.

Plug this into equation 23.3 and differentiate and you get 23.4

A huge chunk of PhDs awarded are for people like Melissa Click who literally go to cons to study fandoms.

Also, turns out a lot of people are inherently retarded.

For example, for thousands of years philosophers have made arguments for the existance of god, only for their argument to be destroyed by the next generation of philosophers. But the punchline is that both those who do arguments for god and those who do arguments against god... BELIEVE...

How do we defeat sleep? We could get so much done without sleep, and you would never have to deal with that feeling of waking up or being tired. Current drugs only get you so far, and even then you risk psychosis.

I'd rather not have an 80-hour work week for half the hourly rate, if it's all the, same to you.

Why would you actually get the extra time free? Society will adjust, just like how women working didn't make the average family twice as rich despite having twice the income.

Also, let's assume nobody has to have an double their work hours a week to work full time. But you do make a good point about society adjusting to fill the 8-12 extra hours without sleep.
