You never know when you're allowed to use a pie chart...

The fundamental problem that you and I have in trying to understand the physics of reality, is that we don't speak the language. It doesn't matter how smart we are, we can't pass an IQ test in a different langauge... I understand enough of physics that I can bamboozle my neighbour, but that's just pretend smart bc I don't really understand; it's like assuming that we're smarter than our grandparents bc we can use a smartphone and they only had a landline; my grandad was a telecom engineer that could rig up a phone from the scraps in his shed, could you build a smartphone?

Not their best song, "Dazed and Confused" is my favourite... 🙃

They're chucky pigs here in the shires.

This seems related to something I've been pondering for a while; pigeon's are capable of dodging a peregrine at full throttle, having seen them within meters. We only have so much time to process reality, and our primary sense takes priority.

Why are you moving the goalposts? If you want to learn then listen to the answers, or ask pertinent question's about the answer's; there is no short cut to smarter, however hard you try. 😉

A similar strategy is used in India IIRC people wear a mask on the back of their head to deter tiger's attacking. ...that gulls are among those avian species which are pretty smart and have excellent learning skills, like Corvids and Psittaciformes. I give this googly defense system a couple years before all the gulls (and boys) have figured this out. Studies suggest they're waiting for our eyes to look away from the food, googly eyes probably give them pause for thought and a missed opportunity. They'll learn to ignore them, by watching the braver among them enjoy success despite googlie.

Size and it's relation to gravity probably has a great deal to do with limb number's, since more than four limbs only exists below the weight of bigish spider, on land.

Paradoxes, probably don't exist...

What would convince you? What if your entire culture is a lie and it's you that fit's both 1 and 2, what rational would be convincing to either end of the po;itical extreme

Your half right, but only if you live in a strange mash up of the Marvell universe and South Park, in which Trump would be capitan specious, his kryptonite is paint and corners... 🤔 The only thing that will change is the volume and definition of an executive order.

So, what is your point?

Why are you posting in my political topic, instead of your own? Do you see my point?

Which would be negated by them actually having one or at least a creditable threat of one, instead they've given them a far more potent weapon, with their God knows what threat, like a curse from the grave. The economy is to big to fail...

Being able to see without knowing is far less strange than being blind and thinking you can see...

I know Iran is a problem child/country, but what would be so wrong if we let them spend their life savings developing a bomb they can't use, other than the leverage to sit at the top table. Who knew a thousand, table top bombs, would be more effective than a million tonnes of force...

This has all the hallmarks of "the charge of the light brigade", not only a pointless war, but also from a culture (the British Army), that auctioned off all the top job's to the highest bidder rather than the best candidates. "The British soldier will do his duty, even to certain death, and is not paralyzed by the feeling that he is the victim of some hideous blunder,"

It was just an observation that the people in the Whitehouse aren't stupid, they're intelligent people that don't even have to consider their level of competence; such people will just ignore anyone saying that what they're doing is stupid bc they know their not stupid. Even the smartest of human's can stray into that minefield. However I'm not so sure that Trump fits that definition.

Of course not, sex has a lot say...

Greed is a manifestation of the fear of not having enough, it's mostly a bully move.

Seems to me that they're subsets of fear, or it's the old bully delusion, power must equal win cuz it's obviously true. It runs riot throughout humanity, they weren't pointing out how stupid people think, they were pointing out that we don't know what we don't know, and we all suffer from that.

There is only one logical reason for war and it has nothing to do with defense. The weak minded are easily confused by the concept... And the woke brigade made it possible... Don't get me wrong, I'm as woke as they come... But some of the extremists went to far, and so naturally, the pendulum swings back, but again, way to far...

TBH I'm not sure how to answer. Not in the context of this topic/title, I understand the process of evolution, what I'm suggesting is the process is interrupted bc our civilisation has determined that certain things/people can live or they have to die. Of course evolution will catch up, I refer you to my previous analogue of the Australian mice plague's.

I'm open to a more appropriate forum.

So, what your saying is that every human invention, will result in a natural 'human' evolutionary path, my arguement would be crispr cas9. I'm saying human inventions pervert our evolutionary path, creating cities and more proximity than we're naturally comfortable with.
