I have a frustratingly low amount of time and energy lately unfortunately. But I did finally 3d print and hang my new headphone holder on the wall, so it’s something

Omg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.

In my opinion, it’s always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn’t be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.

This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

The patient, with Steve Carell, amazing show, just one season though.

Scale by Geoffrey West is an insanely interesting read if you’re a bit into superficial science!

I was gonna read the selfish gene by Dawkins, but since it’s probably gonna be such a tough read, do you think your suggestion is a bit easier to digest?

Me too, though unfortunately I systematically ignore search results with the ad mark, so it’s not really helpful…

That doesn’t sound simple by any measure.

Oh my god same, I’m not a serious person, but the first very serious things I asked my so years ago was not to poke me while stretching, tickle me under the feet or pits and not to stick her finger in my mouth while yawning. That’s peak me time.

Hey dol merry dol, ring a ding a dillo

Dolphins would have a pufferfish take the coke, then eat the pufferfish. It’s very efficient.
