Nenonen posted:Also I would have expected that cheating was the most common form of non-monogamy! I am sure it actually is, and that the graphic dramatically misrepresents the prevalence of all these different micro-niches in favor of making sure everyone's personal special situation gets its own callout. There needs to be a version of the graphic where the areas are scaled according to population, like those electoral maps of the USA.

The graph makes no claims that area is representilative of prevalence? Its just a (lovely) venn diagram showing how the concepts overlap.

ynohtna posted:There's gotta be a word for the mindset of presenting miscellaneous thoughts in the most complicated way possible as a facade for meaningful insight. Humanities/liberal arts/social sciences/academia The harder sciences should almost be included. Instead of miscellaneous thoughts or callouts to believers you have studies that are poorly constructed or purposefully bent towards one outcome or another. Still pointlessly complicated, and often more damaging, but not quite as pointless. I should actually check myself here and recognize that I hear a lot of bad poo poo about academia but that there is still a lot of good. It's been a long while since I've been in school and I shouldn't work myself up too much about something I'm so far removed from. Thanks for reading.

Color Vision is modeled by Color Measurement in subjective terms like the Munsell System and the Oswald System and quantified in the more objective CIE System which gives a Chromaticity Diagram used to develop Spectral Power Distribution derived from Tristimulus Values quantified by Color Perception derives Color Vision

That made me laugh very hard. It's perfectly ethical to drive drunk if everyone around you is predestined to one day hit someone while driving drunk.

It's not moral to drive under any circumstances at all, even stone cold sober, unless there are some Hitlers nearby. Remember to bring your Hitler with you if you really need to drive somewhere

That means it's neutrally ethical to be dead from alcohol poisoning at all times.

It is unethical to drive. Which is true. Unless You're blotto AND there's plenty of Hitlers around, then it's fine.

When you think about it, billionaires are as bad as Hitler, and all Americans are temporarily embarrassed billionaires, so logically it's okay to drive drunk in heavily populated areas of America.

This is the kind of post that makes me saddest about GPT, because it was actually the poster themselves with the funny idea, and GPT just executed it in the blandest way possible. Good for parody, not much else.

This is from one of my favorite web pages. The chart is in fact a contents section. Each bubble is a link that will take you to an article on that subject. You can go up a level to see broader be categories. The site is called Hyperphysics, and it is an excellent resource if you're learning about anything physics related. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/

It lists it as only ethical to drive while both drunk and surrounded by hitlers, and unethical to drive when sober no matter the hitler number. It formts the graph but doesnt have the right content

It also says “red indicates lower (worse) ethical value” then has a colour scale going from 0 to -100, where red is 0 and blue is -100. Do you go by colour or number?

Tree Bucket posted:Oh, that's nifty. It's like the wikipedia rabbit hole thing, but in a more convenient form. I think I was using it in 2004 or so, it has not changed one iota in that time. It looks like it was founded in '98. Source: https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/Online/41812/HyperPhysics-the-popular-online-physics-resource And for anyone else reading the site is useful not just as a handy resource of info, but it is filled with calculators as well. Want to understand ohm's law, or figure out how fast something moves after falling for 15 seconds, or see how mass changes relativistically with velocity? The site will do it for you.
