The difference is there is competition now.

What's scary about mirrored DNA? DNA is information store proteins are actuators. > would have to evolve an entirely new set of proteins from scratch. Mirrored amino acids already exist in some organisms.

I think it is reasonable to assume that the immune system would have to work harder against mirror pathogens. Straight toxicity might be another important consideration. On the other hands mirror amino acids already exist in nature, so I fi

Actually, it is rude nowadays. You dont call a personal line if that person doesnt know your number. You send a text.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. Calling greed a virtue is certainly a thing a person has said.

Does sand have much intrinsic value, or is the value coming from the technology to make integrated circuits? Is the fabrication process parasitic too? Lots of cope here. Ostensibly, some people cant handle a simple observable fact.

Not really, you're assuming that your independent actions or forum comments have intrinsic value. They do not.

Its not up to a single individual to fix monetary policy. Maybe you should work on your social skills before calling someone greedy for merely making money.

Its not a rumor, you really do and you can try it out yourself. Unfortunately its very finnicky and you cant really leverage it to produce a realistic image of what you want since any further prompting seems to override it. Its like a ghost

I think either you are not reading my post or I'm not explaining myself well. What Ive been trying to do is make the argument why an exponential-like distribution is a more natural representation of intelligence and therefore what the

You might be interested in epigenetic inheritence. We do know that some epigenetic marks are passed down but its still very much unknown how much heritable information is encoded in epigenetics.

Height may be normally distributed but that doesnt mean intelligence is. IQ is normally distributed because its transformed to be so; similarly, "being able to reach things" is not a natural transformation with sufficient explanat

by aydyn 2y ago
No, you are missing the point. The point is the scaling is all wrong. The IQ distribution, normally distributed by design, is what people think of when talking about intelligence. But it does not give proper intuition as there is no evidenc

I think that's a little farfetched since a lot of prokaryotes show the beginning stages of complex multi-cellularity.

Given how old mitochondria are it seems more likely that its more efficient to have its own DNA. DNA isn't just abstract information, it's also where the first step of protein / enzyme construction occurs. DNA location matter

Does it yield a rare Earth? If we didn't have mitochondria and had something say 20% less efficient, why couldn't multicellular life still exist?

Concession noted, thanks!

Actually, its not. IQ is normally distributed because it is a statistic explicitly transformed to be normally distributed with respect to the population. But intelligence itself is more like exponentially distributed. Think of a chess grand

Thanks! So in order to make this thread more "thoughtful and substantive", underlying that posters earlier sarcasm is the belief that California is not responsible with its budget. Hope that helps this time!

By interviewing random people you can easily find people who say seemingly dumb shit that make members of a particular political party look incredibly stupid. A video of a random Trump supporter misunderstanding tarrifs is not a steelman ar

So you understood the point or would you like it explained again?

Again: people _should_ understand that a president getting shot at live on television is not a hoax. Do you really think farming plebs for political gain on social media is going to break for democrats? Really? That feels a bit out of touch

by aydyn 2y ago
You sure about that?
415.
by aydyn 2y ago
I see, I missed that nuance in your point.

Underlying the sarcasm is the assertion that California is not fiscally responsible with its budget. Understand now?

Fact check: False. It was clearly a joke, as in taking the first day of office to clean up the perceived mistakes of his predecessor. Do you know any dictators who only planned to rule for one day? And also, are you still confused why Ameri

You think you're going to get a solid answer interviewing some random person on the street? That's what an intelligent person would call a strawman. Do you want me to point you to the video of well-educated coastal elites calling

Then I meant captivated AND captive. Why are you being pedantic?
