What are some good studies on the problem of addiction? Lack of will power, self-control... psychological dependency?
7 posts and 1 images submitted.

What you described is compulsion. Addiction is chemical dependence.

>>7964943
Not entirely, there are social/environmental factors as strong as the chemical ones

>>7964943
Yes, that too.

Any Biochem double majors here? I want to go into Neuroscience and so I'm heavily considering a Biochem + Psychology double major.

I think that a biological science + social science combo would be nice because I could actually get a good job and be prepared for medical school with Biochem, but then also have a better understanding of the mind and be a bit more socially well-rounded with Psych.

Other than Psychology I'm not sure. I kind of want to minor in Economics because I've been told that's an all-around good thing to have an understanding in. But in terms of a full-blown other major, I can't exactly decide and might just do biochem independently to get done in four years.

What have you guys done, or would do?

VR is finally here. I never thought it would be but it happened.

What will be the next "future technology" to finally arrive (as in, a polished worthwhile consumer product rather than just a stunt/demo)

Personal humanoid home robots? Personal VTOL? A lab on Mars? An underwater colony? Cities in Antarctica? Consumer gene editing?

Radians. Degrees is just base 60 autism and should only be kept in seconds.

Radians because series expansions.
>>
>>7964321
I use degrees when constructing frames and what not because the numbers are easier and I use radians when analyzing rotational motion because it makes the calculus easier.

What return percentage per year would this be?

The way I know of:
153,000,000 subtract 13,600=152,986,400. 152,986,400 divided by 13,600=11,249. 11,249*100=1,124,900.
1,124,900 divided by 8=140,612.5% per year.

Right or wrong?

If right, why do so many people on various sites calculate it as 220% annually? Which is right? How could someone come up with 220%?

>>
>>7963540
I would do it:
153000000-13600=152986400
152986400/13600=11249
(1+p)^8=11249
(1+p)=3.209
p=2.209
which is approx. 220%

Try and calculate it yourself instead of just trusting what the hack is writing, you simpleton.

how is it that you experience the world as a human, and not say, an Artificial Intelligence created by scientists, or another animal species.

think about how that is the case

ultimately it goes back to the big bang, and how it came to be. hard to answer the question
>>
>>7964695
The question makes no sense. If "you" were an AI or a non-human, you wouldn't be "you". It's not like your soul is floating around and it goes into a random fetus. "You" are just the result of many many many many many many reactions. Flip a coin ten times. How is it that the specific pattern you got occurred when there are 2^10 possible patterns? It just happened that way and it's not very mysterious or shocking is it?

How is scientific literacy in your country?

transforming kinetic energy from wind into electric energy for other uses does change how the wind moves. have you done the math to know using it for 100% of our electricity wouldn't have an effect?
>>
>>7964614

any change in wind patterns (not in atmosphere) seems trivial to celestial mechanics

also the guy linked a satire (think 'the onion' but for science) institute as his source

any physicists wanna pitch in?

Yeah Brazilians aren't particularly bright, what bothers me more is how smug that retard is.

People who don't know they are retarded are dangerous.

>>7964549
General wing surface area looks like it'd be fine, looks like it'd flip shit if you put any kind of roll on it though. Yaw seems like it would be finnicky as fuck in the early MET, but I'm guessing it'd stabilize-ish after awhile.
That's a big ass intake though, and I can't tell if it's mirrored or not.
Seems like a huge waste of drag surface if it's just a big-ass ram scoop. It's a bit odd for a normal intake, though.

>>7964549
no it can not fly
i recommend the people in that car to jump off now
