You shouldn't really trust what I have to say on this subject. The extent of my expertise is having gotten an A in high school physics and read some Eliezer Yudkowsky articles about many worlds. I could tell you almost nothing about the physics behind many worlds. Fortunately, my argument doesn't hinge on highly precise facts about physics.
The basic idea of many worlds is that each time a quantum mechanical event happens, the universe splits so that there's a world where it turns out each of the ways it could have. So, for instance, if a particle can either go left or right, the world splits and there's one world where it goes left and another where it goes right. This may sound ridiculous and gerrymandered, but it allegedly falls straightforwardly out of existing physical equations rather than requiring an epicycle.No title>game theoretically speaking, it is best to maximize the fitness of my children >to that end, it is best to reproduce with the most intelligent and wealthy women >my own intelligence and wealth are not high >but reproduction by force is an option Game-theoretically speaking, how does one avoid the obvious conclusion?No titlewhen will science fix balding?No titleHow accurate is this book?

Differences in Brain Development People born blind have structural and functional changes in their brains, particularly in areas related to sensory processing and perception. These changes might provide resilience against the neural disruptions that contribute to schizophrenia.
Lack of Visual Hallucinations Visual processing is a major factor in schizophrenia. Since congenitally blind individuals do not have visual experiences, they may be less susceptible to certain hallucination-related mechanisms.
Enhanced Social Processing Blind individuals often develop strong social and verbal communication skills, which might protect against the social withdrawal and cognitive dysfunction associated with schizophrenia.
Reduced Dopamine Dysregulation Schizophrenia is linked to excessive dopamine activity, particularly in the visual and cognitive regions. Since blind individuals process the world differently, their dopamine systems may be less prone to the disruptions that trigger psychosis.No titleHow can I look like him without medical risk of dying?No titleOccupations of people with 1 in 10000 intellectual abilityNo titleIs it possible scientifically that in next 10-20 years a drug comes which can prevent death caused by aging?No titlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNjx2ywbIww

Furthermore, this feeling of specificity feels universal to consciousness itself. Representative of curiosity about consciousness is the belief in universality of this feeling of specificity. ---------- The assumption, "universality of specificity", provides the foundations necessary for our curiosities about consciousness. ---------- Our curiosities relate our existence to the existence of things, and therefore, our relatability is representative of the feeling of specificity of our curiosity. Existence of the notion of relatability universally represents aspects of specificity. On the other hand, existence of anything must relate to the notion of existence. Relatability of the notion of existence specifies aspects of universality. Let existential truth represent existence of the notion of existence and let existential curiosity represent existence of the notion of relatability. Existence of the notion of existence trivially relates the notion of existence to itself, and therefore must assume the existence of the notion of relatability. Existence of the notion of relatability must relate to the notion of existence. So, there is a existential truth-existential curiosity duality which we call existential duality.
Our relatability to existence of the notion of relatability is represents our feeling of existence of consciousness. Our relatability to existence of the notion of existence represents our feeling of our existence. ---------- Existential duality is foundational for the feeling of conscious existence. Our relatability to existential duality represents the feeling of our conscious existence and corresponds to the feeling of existence of consciousness relative to our consciousness. ---------- -Viśvāmitra https://visvamitra.substack.com/No titleHow comprehensible will alien life be?/crg/ - Cellular Reprogramming General #3Previous >>16597188

>Still can't come up with a reliable solution for baldness Allegedly its even growing new follicles back
>Protocol It's a two step process.
Step1: 500mg Curcumin 500mg or so Tributryn Take about a dropper full of B12.
Wait an hour.
Then, think of this as a balanced dose to start the reaction.
Step 2: 300mg Liposomal Apigenin Another 500mg of Tributryn About 500mg of either NAD or some combo of NAD and NMN.
Repeat step 2, 2-4+ times a day.
One week on one week off to avoid T cells exhaustion.
Ultimately this is your immune system first reprogramming itself and then going out to the rest of you. The T cells are able to identify cell wall markers where issues are the most severe and those will need to be targeted first before any specific issue.
Give it a little wiggle room if you don't need as much NAD or Tributryn. NAC is a good add in as well while doing this if you have a history of smoking or lung problems.Universe 25The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population.
According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society.No titleIs chatGPT better than doctors nowadays?No titlehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

Tell me if I’m completely insane here, or if there’s something to it:
What if the universe is a hypersphere—a 3D surface of a 4D object? That part isn’t new, cosmologists already talk about that.
But here’s the twist:
What if there are many hyperspheres—adjacent to each other, like bubbles in some higher-dimensional space—and each one has its own rules of reality?
Different physics. Different logic. Maybe in one universe 1+1=3, and it makes sense there. Maybe that’s what the multiverse actually is: not parallel timelines, but adjacent logical realities, wrapped into hyperspheres.
Now take it a step further:
What if those hyperspheres aren’t the top level? What if they’re just the protons and neutrons of something even bigger?
Like, they form atoms in a higher-scale dimension we can’t perceive. Maybe they interact to form matter in a realm beyond anything we can experience. Maybe our entire universe is just a tiny part of a meta-molecule floating in something else's bloodstream.
And maybe the weirdness of quantum mechanics—nonlocality, entanglement, randomness—is actually just spillover from the structure of that higher-level physics.No titleThere are people in this world that can look at your true Self, without looking at your body. They don't even see your face. I thought you /sci/entits would like to know that.No titleWhat do we know about the evolution of human intelligence after the speciation of homo sapiens? I've read a bit about how cro-magnons had a larger cranial capacity than modern humans. Humans also seem to have rapidly sped up technological innovation after 50,000 bc for some reasonNo titleCan reality still exist if there is no sentient mind left to perceive it?

She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different sciences (Physics and Chemistry).No titledoes larger brain = more smarter?Question about universeHi smart people. I have a question for you...
If the universe is infinite couldn't we follow stars back to the origin/point of the big bang? For example if our star is 13 billion years old, but a distant star is 12 billion years old wouldn't that indicate the direction the big bang came from?
And if we were to survive for billions of years wouldn't we eventually need to follow the "wave" finding younger and younger stars so we're not in complete darkness?No titleif youre so fucking smart why havent you figured out how to make microchips efficiently outside of taiwan
