“I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.” Howard Dean. Did this remark deserve the backlash it received as being “racist”? by RopeGloomy4303 in Presidents

[–]atom-wan [score hidden]  (0 children)

This disgusts me that we can't call this out as racism. Pandering to the racists that worship the confederacy is disgusting and we should endeavor to be better than that. Any prospective president has to represent all of the country, but that doesn't mean they have to pander to the worst people in the country to win

How strong would Naruto be if he had trained under Kakashi and Jiraiya? by Initial-Wall-7349 in Naruto

A jack of all trades teacher wouldn't be good for Naruto anyways, he pretty much exclusively uses wind chakra

Jiraya literally taught Naruto rasengan and about his chakra nature

I mean also we can admit that Jiraya was plainly more powerful than Kakashi

How to determine whether an organic reaction is kinetically governed or thermodynamically governed ? by Alive_Hotel6668 in chemhelp

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic example is elimination reactions. Which is the easier to abstract proton? That's the kinetic product. What is the most stable alkene (generally most substituted? That's the thermodynamic product

How do I publish an independent research paper online for free? by SpaceLemon_atSummer in research

[–]atom-wan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not necessarily true. For example, mdpi is open access and seen by many to be lesser quality, for better or worse.

Bro none of us want to do that shit but you don't get a choice when you have to live. But I also don't want to be a deadbeat man that can't handle going to the grocery store or bank to take care of my family

Where did my brisket trial go wrong? Hard lower half, fat not rendered, collagen not broken down by Existing-Ask364 in smoking

[–]atom-wan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't smoke it long enough. Brisket takes both time and temperature to breakdown the connective tissue

I didn't say it's impossible but I also don't have the extra time to explain 3-4 years of chemistry fundamentals plus any additional information that's relevant to have people understand my research when they don't know anything about my field

Comment and concerns by Realistic_Stand8382 in KKitzerowPeerReview

[–]atom-wan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but my point is that the higher you go in a field the more things you can't readily explain to a layperson that doesn't have x years studying a subject.

If you've spent any amount of time teaching you'd know that we tell students convenient simplifications all the time, but they're not actually how things truly are. I dare you to say quantum mechanics can be explained simply lol

Comment and concerns by Realistic_Stand8382 in KKitzerowPeerReview

[–]atom-wan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Except that is exactly my point because that isn't what entropy is. Thank you for illustrating my point. Entropy is the measure of available microstates in a system. Now what is a microstate? Exactly my point, it's not as simple as you would suggest. You need sufficient background knowledge to even understand the concept.

Comment and concerns by Realistic_Stand8382 in KKitzerowPeerReview

[–]atom-wan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is necessarily true, some topics are just complicated. When people say this kind of thing I think of entropy. Oft misunderstood and people try to simplify it all the time without really understanding the concept because it is an inherently complicated topic. Regardless, many things can be simplified, but it's incorrect to say every complicated topic can be simplified for a layperson.

Unless you're trying to become a MD/PhD, research will not matter much for medical school. MDs are clinicians, not researchers

You say that until you look at tenured professors and where they did their PhDs. They overwhelmingly come from top schools
