In "General Test Percentage Distribution of Scores Within Intended Graduate Major Field Based on Seniors and Nonenrolled College Graduates". Why are those in MicroComputer Applications major so smart?
The sample is only 85, so it might be some sort of random effect, but 20% of them score in the highest category for quantitative. How? They have a higher percentage in this than economists, nearly all engineers, all of the chemists, those in optics, computer science, and have as many in this category as astrophysicists. They trump nearly absolutely anyone in terms of the percentage of them in the highest quantitative category.
How can people majoring in knowing how to use Excel at a basic level be the gods of maths?!
The explanation seems that maybe it's the fact their sample is only 85, but 27 intended majors have a smaller sample than that and don't show any such wild luck. Honestly, I'm baffled.

Ultimately, if _IF_ global warming is made up (and this is obviously very unscientific—an unscientific opinion, if you will, which is a tautology—inversely, a scientific opinion would be an oxymoron) and thus realpolitik, but at least not the myopic left/right politics of the day. The only way this could be is to catalyze the general public into weaning itself off an energy source that endangers its own safety, as has been demonstrably seen during the energy crises of the 1970s. It is not ethical to dupe the public. Sure. But is it still so bad if it is being done for their own good, because they are too dumb to do it on their own? Are they not hurting themselves by trying to thwart efforts to modernize energy? This is a rhetorical question, by the way.

What kinds of genes are currently being selected for in humanity? I notice that none of the educated professionals in their mid-30s around me have more than 1 child. From surveys, the more educated and higher income have less kids. The poorest and less educated have the most kids. Religious groups have a lot of kids, my neighbors growing up were some weird Christian sect and they had 11 kids. The most technologically advanced people, Japanese and South Koreans are having no kids and their population will collapse soon.

Medically speaking is it a good idea to teach future doctors that telling fatties to lose weight is racist?

>Course Objectives
>1. Understand the concepts of race/racism, power, colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism and their manifestations in the history of medical thought, education, practice, and research and shaping the healthcare system overall.

>Pre-lecture material:
>4. Read this article by Marquisele Mercedes
https://pipewrenchmag.com/dismantling-medical-fatphobia/

>Apart from quoted material, this article uses the term “obesity,” the medicalized notion of fatness, in quotes or censored as ob*sity as per fat liberationist conventions that reject the idea that fatness is a disease. The concept of ob*sity is used to exact violence on fat people, and fat activists regard it as a slur.

>It is proven that weight loss is a useless, hopeless endeavor. You are unlikely to lose weight in any permanent way and highly likely to open yourself to the myriad risks associated with weight cycling. The relationship between weight and health is also muddy. People often mention research that suggests that fatness (up to a point) can be protective, but this often only has the effect of scapegoating the fattest among us, the infinifat people who are only acceptable to acknowledge via mocking entertainment. If you decide (or are pressured to) pursue gastric bypass surgery in order to escape fatphobia violence, you may not actually lose weight — for some, the main outcome is disordered eating, an attempt to salvage the benefits of an incredibly harmful and risky procedure. No study measuring the association between weight and health outcomes comes close to appropriately accounting for the impact of fatphobia on an individual’s wellbeing, including how those impacts are likely the worst for the fattest among us.

I have asked this multiple times and no one has ever given me a straight answer:

What astrophysical evidence would even possibly count as evidence that the universe is infinitely old? My understanding of the history of western thought is presuming the universe has/has no beginning is fundamentally a theological or metaphysical concern. No amount of finite evidence will ever confirm one over the other because the finite age can always be pushed back one layer of explanation so as to make sense with all of the observations made. What is the consensus on this dilemma in the theoretical physicist community? The way I see it is science simply has no say on whether the universe began to exist, unless scientists inject some metaphysical philosophy into their own theory.

All we can really say is that at some point the universe was a lot smaller. The evidence for this is the CMB, age and types of distant stars, and the fact that the temperature of space throughout the universe is basically the same, because distant points in space are currently too far apart for temperature to be in equilibrium unless at some point they were closer to one another

>Gases always diffuse from areas of higher concentration to surrounding areas of lower concentration. They wouldn't diffuse into a zircon crystal.
That is unless the surrounding area has more helium in it, I’m not sure how much more simply I can explain it. If the helium is constantly diffusing out until the point where there’s none left as you say should happen, then ANY amount of helium in the surrounding rock will diffuse back into the crystal since a zirconium with no helium left in it is as low a concentration as it gets. Hence why even if a crystal is at the age where all the original helium has diffused out it can still have helium in it, as more diffuses in from an environment with high helium levels and high temperatures. An environment like I don’t know, maybe the magma where zirconium usually forms

I assume he doesn't understand it if he has no arguments or evidence or reasons for his beliefs. And I think it is immoral to claim you have knowledge, especially deep philosophical knowledge without any sort of evidence or reason.

>Why do you dogmatically fix his stance onto an adjacent philosophical word - which likely isn't even his position to begin with
It usually is, empirically speaking, most of the time the conversation of asking why a scientist is a necessitarian results in him saying its not a philosophical position and they dont want to discuss. But the point is, this is even the case when I repeat back their own belief to them in the most good-faith fashion.

Reality itself is the grounding for scientific inquiry to proceed. Reality should be the primary domain for philosophy too however at some point most of it got side tracked and went into weird and rather fanciful avenues

Almost every scientist would be more than happy to have a conversation about that

Perhaps you weren't as good-faith as you claim
>Alot of people simply dont care to put in the work to explain to others what they believe, and being educated in philosophy would prevent this.
Again most scientists are more than happy to get into that, if someone is truly just asking in a curious fashion. If you are trying to trip them up then they are likely to be more guarded. Being educated in philosophical terms would indeed help with regards to communication, but let's not get mixed up and act like knowing a specific word is a substitute for real knowledge
