Something that stands out to me is how the most colorful creatures are good at evasion. Birds and bugs flying or reef creatures have hiding holes. Other colorful life tends to be toxic.
For this reason I doubt the huge species had color that stood out from their environment.

Little pieces of a jellyfish can become new jellyfish. They can reproduce sexually or asexually. The Immortal Jellyfish is even weirder. They are some of the simplest multicellular animals after sponge and coral.

You forgot the spikes of bahia and the variety sandspurs here in Florida.
- Comment on Into the meat grinder! 4 weeks ago:
Sponge are some of the most simple animals alive. Jellyfish are comparatively not too far off.

The bear in the mural does not look tall enough to look in a second story window. Is that a young one?

I never took the time to look into this. They do have a primative look to them. I had to look up the flower. It was more complex than I expected.

My dads not only had separate beds, they had their own bedrooms. Of course this didn’t mean one wouldn’t spill crumbs in the other’s bed.

Ask Johnathan Haidt. I am trying to get my hands on his books but the libraries have one or two copies of ones they do have and not at my local branch.

You are doing it the wong way. The wight way to do it is to acknowledge the victory of the colonizers. Take Denali for example.

Weird. The only argument I heard, and successfully made it to policy in my area is that it costs tax money and takes away choice. All thus smart stuff is for those damn yankees.

Thank you for the correction. It can be applied in the Socratic method. I ask questions to understand someone’s position and continue into how they came to those conclusions. At no point do I pressure for answers though. The idea is just to keep the person talking so you can understand their poimt of view to the best of your ability. It has a side effect of healthy personal reflection for all parties involved.

Just look at the other responses to my comments.
In real life it can be better or worse. Some of the closest people in my life get immediately defensive. It’s sometimes easier to talk with strangers. More often than not, I will find a passion point that is the limit of conversation. At those times I just listen as much as possible. How much I engage depends on how they rect to my questions.

I have conversed with quite a few vegans and none of them have pushed their morals on others. Some of them have been very upfront about their veganism. I am wondering where you are that you see vegans being so revolutionary.
- Comment on Honey 8 months ago:
I was unaware that my message implied a 100% requirement. That part of the comment was meant to be about how I see them trying to define the line between what is vegan and what isn’t. I see now how this is being interpreted and it is my fault for being unclear.
