The earliest predators were opportunistic, eating whenever they got the chance. so we could owe our intelligence to our stomachs? Kinda, yeah! (C) 2022 Ryan North But then they started to get smarter! It was an evolutionary advantage to become THOUGHTFUL about hunting: imagining ambushes, figuring out the best way to corner prey, and so on. So it's possible this desire for food - and to avoid BECOMING food is what led to things like "imagination" and long-term planning" and "considering possible futures, and trying to bring about the most favourable one". Huh! And that necessarily includes scenarios in which you'd imagine yourself as a WORSE hunter, discover how that makes you feel, and then AVOID doing that, right? Sure! Negative examples help too. so in conclusion, you're saying one of the foundations of HIGHER THOUGHT ITSELF is our ability to make up a guy and get mad at him?? *sigh* } UNFORTUNATELY www.qwantz.com
It's from a brief McDonald's placemat printing 30 years ago, where they had an "imprové your fry-căbulary" section. Loomster was defined as the longest fry in the box! I am a guy who tries to not let corporations colonize his language! I STILL don't like the word "podcast" because it's got iPod branding in the first three letters!! And yet, I do use one corporate word! And that word... ...is LOOMSTER. And you use that a lot? You have a lot of opportunities to discuss long fries?? YES! Весause I 've Yep! over time it's grown to mean "the largest or longest item (especially to an unusual degree) in It comes up surprisingly so much so that i've NĒVER forgotten the word, despite SEMANTICALLY EXPANDED IT. a set". Really? often not ever wanting to memoriže it!! Honestly, in the history of corporate words idiolect, it's the loomster (C) 2020 Ryan North www.qwantz.com
It's just OH MY GOD you know what sounds HELLA DYSTOPIAN?? You know what sounds hella dystopian yet I hear it EVERY DAY? God. you're more than what you You're when kids call themselves "CONTENT CREATORS"! can do for à corporation, you know? an ARTIST or a SINGER or a VLOGGER or WHATEVER, but the second you call yourself a "content creator" you reduce yourself to merely how corporations see you: someone' who profitably and fungibly fi1is the vessel they've created. Language evolves all the time, T-Rex. But it's that "reduce people to what they financially do instead of who they actually are" thing I see well... die angry about it? YES I KNOW / THIS everywhere! It's the same as when politicans encourage people to think of themselves as "tax- THANKS payers" instead of "citizens" and I hate it!! HONESTLY?? CAN'T WAIT (C) 2020 Ryan North www.qwantz.com
