What happened at the end of the Permian?

volcanic eruptions elevated CO2 and sulfur dioxide to the point that global warming occurred.
Warming interfered with oceanic currents producing marine anoxia.
Marine anoxia caused blooms of cyanobacteria that then invaded terrestrial environments.
Cyano killed plants and thus destroyed all food webs not based on detrivores.
Mass collapse of food webs destroyed megafauna and marine biotas.
eventually climates stabilized, but by the time it was done almost everything was dead.
We all know University is a fucking shithole in terms of education standards and information presentation/delivery, its a business construct not a learning environment blah blah blah etc.
Do people usually graduate on time? Its a fucking pain in the ass walking through this pile of hot coal known as University, feels like absolute dogshit subjecting myself to this ridiculous scam, yet its essential to get

University is just a sure path to mediocrity.
Those who do big things rarely depend on it. So if you plan on doing big things skip the schooling and employment track. This is a self-sorting system. People that are going to make it without schooling usually see through the system and have a plan to bypass it.
if you don't have a plan to get what you want yet you might as well stick to the program and do the chores necessary to gain employment. It's less risky than striking out on your own, that's a fact.

Thoughts on what the mission to Jupiter arriving next month will find?
I feel like there has to be some solid core, but other than that I can't imagine what they'll uncover, seeing as we can't really do anything with the planet, just look.
Short vid on Juno here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV6fOkIgqD4
Well NASA says their reason is to understand how the first planet formed. According to pretty much everyone, that's Jupiter. So in a few years we might know how a solar system forms following the birth of a star.
That or NASA is secretly speaking to the aliens.

Anyone qualified to speak on the economy of the US right now. I hear it's currently worse than 2008 and there is a recession or depression that we are in that will finally become apparent in the coming months. fear mongering or is there some truth to this???
>>8147727
I'm not really qualified.
I am however a small business owner. I can say with some confidence that markets have changed since 2008 and show no sign of going back. To me it feels leaner. Companies are less willing to spend. Many are still making cuts and struggling to stay afloat.
I think we should seriously consider the possibility that the economy we enjoyed in the late 90's and early 2000's was a fluke, and we may never see it again.
>>8147727
I told my parents to invest in gold before 2008, and they did, so I now own more than 60% of the US citizenry, which is not a lot.
Our system will crash again and very soon, the market is more chaotic than it has ever been so invest in things that may will benefit from the majority of people suffering.
>>8147727
We live in a fraudulent economy, which is no longer a capitalist structure.
The same institutions that caused the global financial meltdown, are still up and running, and they are engaging in the exact form of risky speculation that caused said meltdown.
We're all fucked.
Why do people believe in pseudoscience over scientific reason?
what pseudoscience disgusts you the most?
Inspired to make this thread because flatearthers are funny and there one on /x/ giving me a real laugh
>>8147458
There is no real distinction between pseudoscience and science
When you realize this, it will all make sense
What matters is whether you can successfully implement the knowledge, e.g. whether you can make predictions with the knowledge. That is and always has been the marker of useful knowledge. We just apply the arbitrary signifier of "LE SCIENCE" to whatever works and "LE PSEUDOSCIENCE" to what doesn't. It's a big cultural meme and needs to end.

what was that?

Does Math ever get enjoyable to do? I know I'm still in lower division math courses with Calc 3/Differential equations, but it's just not fun to do this stuff. I know when I get a job a computer is going to do the majority of he calculations for me anyway and I'll just be analyzing the data, but is there a point where it's not just mind numbingly remembering various theorems?
>>8147345
>Does Math ever get enjoyable to do?
Depends on your interests.
>I know when I get a job a computer is going to do the majority of he calculations for me anyway
Depends on your job and the type of math involved.
>>8147345
If you're getting a math degree, it's more of the same the whole way.
If you're in physics or engineering or something similar, you apply about 10% of it un rigorously. So that might be fun?
I enjoy teaching and analyzing. It's not the content I find enjoyable, but the interactions with other people and development of ideas.

math got better after i took a introductory proof writing course.
Why do we die? Age. Why do we age? Time. Why do we deteriorate over time? Time is a seeming illusion; I mean all that really exists is now. and there must be something to this.

if we made a simulation of sufficient complexity to allow intelligent life, would that lifeform potentially be able to uncover the fact that they're in a simulation? would they see pixels if they developed the technology to observe their universe at sub-atomic levels? would it be possible to re-write their universe from the inside? is this a stupid question?
>>8147170
is this like asking "is god real?" there's just no way to know?
>is this a stupid question
No and yes
>>8147170
If we made a complete enough simulation to allow for intelligent life, would they know they could just Google for the paper Feynman wrote on it or would they just post the question to 4chan?

Electrical engineers are well-paid at least but I don't know much more t. math+cs major
I know this is basic but WE'RE CLOSE here's a time travel formula i wrote (using http://www.hostmath.com/) T = time we want to go to time, t = current stationary time, v = velocity and 299792458 metres per second is the speed of light.
>>8147018
But did you account for the meme vector?
>>8147018
This doesn't account for quantum tunneling or the N=NP problem.
>>8147018
what if you're in a car that moves at v = 299792458 and you turn on the headlights?

I've come up with an equation explaing ant movement compared to our own, how they navigate and travel over a 360* stalk

Why are electric vehicles not a thing yet? Is it the batteries?
>>8146758
Oil is extremely cheap now.
Because Muh Ecology :^)
>>8146758
Because most people won't be able to charge them, and installing tons of charging stations in parking lots isn't something businesses are going to spend money on.
Biological breeding thread
This is a pretty interesting topic in my opinion as well.
I am a crossbred guy and I did my research. My father was a blonde man with blue green eyes and my mother was a turkish asian person (she is tanned a little bit but she is the only one of my aunts and uncles) I want to know if I can get children since the asian race is very close to the white one (survival possibilites for an example, hokkaido and kyoto in Japan are two very hot and very cold places so the asian body can adapt there easily. My mother's side of the family is...

That was a mishmash of words that meant pretty much nothing. You care way to much about race when choosing your children, if you actually cared about potential fitness you'd attempt to find an outlier to donate an egg.
>>8146765
The thing is that race matters, A black person needs 10 times more vitamin D than a white one. The bone structure is different as well for an example.
