I mean there were actually two “intelligence” explosions for humans, once as Homo Erectus like 2 million years ago. Then again as Homo Heidelbergensis ~ 700,000 years ago. So way before dogs.

As in we have evidence of H. Erectus with brains as big or even bigger than ours. And by the time of H. Heidelbergensis our brains stabilised around the size they are today.

Dogs 100% were selectively bred to be permanently juvenile as well.

Dogs have extreme neonatal characteristics. They are basically forever-wolf-puppies.

Their heads are rounder, eyes bigger, proportions more exaggerated, more playful etc. etc.

And we actually know the main brain difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs don’t mature basically ever neurologically.

Wolves are in basically every way smarter than dogs.

We dumbed down wolves and made them babies forever.

Our biggest rivals for millennia.

We are… fucked up.

Anyways love puppies ❤️

I love the fact it’s in the middle of India, almost the furthest it could be from the ocean.

Acting seems kinda hard sometimes. Like it can be hard I guess. Like rehearsing eating in the right rhythm to not fuck-up continuity in shots.

That’s also breaking my brain. Not a native speaker tho

My dad has the same issue and my girlfriend also had. I was able to help her, he is a lost cause.

But honestly it’s really basic. Just don’t yell while sneezing. Sneeze without vocalising at all. Even if it’s “strong”, it won’t be nearly as loud.

This is just like “muscle memory”. You one day started yelling while sneezing, and it became subconscious.

If you consciously try to not do it every time you sneeze, that too will become subconscious and “muscle memory”.

Honestly the let’s plays will be epic tho. Pure chaos.

We need to define consciousness here…

To me everything you describe is related to the mind. Not consciousness.

To me consciousness is the observer of the mind, not the mind.

Like, what is “sensing” your thoughts? What is “behind” the mind’s eyes?

That’s consciousness.

And it IS universal. It’s indivisible and eternal (doesn’t change).

Your observer is always neutrally observing. All judgments and shifts happen in the mind. Which the consciousness just observes.

Honestly the only way to make sense of any of this that I have ever found is panpsychism, Advaita Vedanta etc.

This is all just a “dream” or non-computational “simulation”. Everything is consciousness. Physics is an emergent feature of consciousness.

That it’s very easy for far-right parties to win under bourgeois democracy. That the center (right or left) will always side with the fascists. That the ruling class will quickly change to their side at the first sign of a mass left movement. That mass campaigns of violence against minorities will be overlooked, and far-right militias and mobs will be allowed to enact their own twisted justice on minorities, while authorities look to the side.

I… feel like I’m describing basically what is happening right now all over the “west”. So… yeah. It’s not something we can stop until we take power. The people in power will always side with the fascists, against us.

From the title it might not sound super related, but she goes super in depth on how these intelligence researches usually are extremely problematic. As in literally telling women that women did better in these tests made them perform as well or better than men in typically “male intelligence areas”. We don’t really understand intelligence, and how it develops, and how to measure it.

So ascribing higher or lower intelligence in certain fields to certain groups just doesn’t work. Irregardless for how statistically sound it might be. We just don’t understand the parameters around it well enough to control for it.

After seeing the most recent münecat video I don’t believe research like this anymore.

Yeah we made a huge mistake being born wrong 😕

Just play as Sweden to get the hang of things 🤷‍♂️

But people LOOK like they can kill. They are no fuzzy and cuddly…

It’s not. It’s about the real implications it might have, such as for eugenics and genetically enhanced soldiers. But it also does talk a lot about the real good it does and can do. But the main points are about those two topics. That like with every technology, the issue is the social and political structures around their use. And also how eugenics never really went away. In many ways it’s using CRISPR to start a conversation about eugenics tbh.

You don’t know what you are talking about lmao

The Why Files is one of the best YouTube channels out there. They talk about fringe and conspiracy subjects but debunk them. You didn’t even watch the video and you are just making a BUNCH of assumptions that have nothing to do with it.

Luddites were not anti-technology. They saw the progress of technology IN a primitive capitalist system and understood that technology would never benefit them, and always be used to subjugate them more.

If technology only benefits 0.1% of the world, and leads to the world dying, does it benefit humanity at all?

Cmon man… Sure it had issues, but acting like Cities Skylines didn’t completely revolutionise city builders is insane.

Dating apps are the most obvious version of the commodification of love.
