Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around a 16-year-old participant seeking to relearn various scientific subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics, after having previously studied them at a younger age. The conversation touches on the challenges of regaining knowledge and the resources available for self-study, as well as some forum-related inquiries and light-hearted interactions among members.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Meta-discussion
Main Points Raised
- A participant expresses a desire to regain knowledge in science after a lapse in memory since taking advanced classes at a young age.
- Some members suggest using Khan Academy videos as a resource for relearning material, emphasizing the importance of active engagement through problem-solving.
- There are multiple inquiries about the forum's structure and the meaning of threads being moved, indicating a need for clarification on forum navigation.
- Light-hearted discussions about favorite fish arise, with some participants questioning the relevance of the topic while others embrace it as a community tradition.
- A separate thread about telepathy is mentioned, with participants discussing the forum's rules regarding non-mainstream science topics and the implications of those rules for posting.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion includes both serious inquiries about relearning science and playful banter about fish, indicating a mix of focused and light-hearted engagement. There is no consensus on the relevance of the fish discussion, and the telepathy topic remains unresolved due to forum rules.
Contextual Notes
The participant's request for help in relearning science is contingent on their previous exposure and current memory challenges. The discussions about forum rules and the fish topic highlight the informal culture within the community, which may not align with the original inquiry.

Wait, so it actually says "Telepathy can't be brought up"? (or some'n like that.) Wow... To be honest that's pretty low. I had such a good question too. ;_;

Wait, this forum has a PM system right? Or some sort of way to msg people? I think I'll just ask about it privately

What exactly was your question and what was the source (where you read it). These were missing from your post. The title said "telepathy", and that's not mainstream science, so it's not allowed here.Joshua said:
The mentor to PM is Ryan if you want to ask more about the rules, but the rules about non-mainstream topics is very clear. Please do not PM members with subjects that are against the rules, it will get you banned. We only deal with mainstream science here.Joshua said:

If you haven't found your incoming PMs already, click the "Notifications" link at the top right of any page.
If you want to send someone a PM that isn't a reply to one that you received, one way is to click on his/her name at the left of one of his/her posts, then choose "Send a private message to xxxx" from the dropdown menu.
