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

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.
Gorgeous! I was there for the first time recently, beautiful building
Can one of our available scientists please confirm how much lbs a mussle can bench-press?
The first person to coin the word meme was Richard Dawkins in his book ‘the selfish gene’. He also postulates in the same chapter that religion is a particular form of a meme. So you’re one hundred percent correct!
You should read the book Superintelligence, it’s very interesting, and catches not only possibilities and limitations, also societal impact.
Kind of petty from Zuck not to roll it out in Europe due to the digital services act… But also kind of weird since it’s open source? What’s stopping anyone from downloading the model and creating a web ui for Europe users?
Do you use the swipe function? I used to, but recently it’s been a bit horrible
Interesting to have a humidifier under your guitars. I’d say high humidity would rust your strings in no time right? And possibly be bad for the wood as well
Nobody mentioned steel panther yet. Quality stuff
‘You can basically call me a printer god now’
Loving this.
Tucker and dale vs evil
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?
Cool picture! Did you do any post processing or is this the raw photo? Was it a conscious decision to put your shadows in there as well?
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
Just breath through your mouth, works like a charm
