Here's an article to get a foundation going: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=does-the-us-produce-too-m (this is mainly centered around the US, but people not in the US are welcome to chime in too) Since a lot of the members here are involved in some sort of university level...

While we're on this topic of subjectivity, take a look at this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lanza/does-the-past-exist-yet-e_b_683103.html?view=print To me, the guy really isn't stating anything new, and is just revamping the ideas of past philosophers. He's also making blank, and...

It wouldn't be too farfetched to say that the meaning of life is entirely self-centered and conscious (in our case, human) based. Obviously, it's too much of a statement to say that life has a goal or that there's some puppeteer controlling the universe to give life a meaning. But if meaning...

I know this place isn't very fond of 4chan, but a while ago there was a thread similar to this: http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=8162194&x=r9ks+Pokepolitics Most of it is shit, but it's somewhat related to the topic, and if you read through it you might find some...

I don't think pokemon have evolutionary lines. Clearly all evidence points that they were too complex to have 'evolved' into different pokemon and were created by the one and only god, Arceus. Plus there is no proof that comes from any transitory fossils between Gastrodon and Lapras.

Thanks, that clears it up. Only problem I have is my paranoia, which consists of running out of money for grad school and being forced to take up a full time job, which I won't be able to get. But I suppose something like (theoretical) chemistry, which falls under a chem minor, would be fine.

I've been reading about regenerative medicine and systems biology for sometime now, and was considering bioengineering as a major. However, though the major is pretty tough, I heard it was pretty damn useless in terms of getting hired for a job/getting research (with a bachelor's). Main problem...

Thanks for the answers. It's been a while since I've checked, but I was wondering if any engineering/comp sci/science majors had any experience with MATLAB. Is it a valuable skill that intern employers/researchers look for in undergrads? What specific field in MATLAB or any other programming...

Anyone know how to get an internship/research opportunity as a fresh high school graduate in a science/research facility? I know colleges offer those summer internship programs (ie. UC Davis COSMOS) but what kinds of volunteer/etc. opportunities are there for an 18 year old with no (scientific)...

Interesting, U of C is just as good as Princeton (or almost as good). It's not that far off...

I'm going to Northeastern for pharmacy (just graduated) but lately I've been thinking of transferring to biological engineering with a minor in econ or computer science. I might transfer to a different school next year, most likely one that focuses more on my subject, like carnegie mellon or...

I have no background in music, so it's hard for me to point out what exact instruments are used in a song; obviously I know if it's string, wind, percussion, etc. but the specifics have me lost. Obviously, the main reason I made this thread (to put it honestly and bluntly) is to know what...

There are retards with below average intelligence (meaning they cannot learn properly), but I believe that with enough propaganda and motivation, most people can become educated through school/various other methods. After the 'knowledge' part, intelligence is pretty hard to measure. The...

Top schools I'm applying to are Michigan Ann Arbor and GIT, hopefully I'll get in. A lot of people at my school are applying to ivies (they accept TONS of people from my school, since it's competitive) but I'm saving fee money since I only have a 3.7 GPA. Still, I don't know if I should apply to...

This is copypasta (or maybe OP was the original author?) but I'd say it's just a purity ring and that she was joking about her 'brother' (she didn't have such sick thoughts.)
