      Oh my goodness, I'm the exact same way. The biggest, most frustrating misunderstanding I've come across is people understanding evolution and related concepts like fitness as having inherent value judgments. In reality, evolution is a lens you can look at many things, from economics through biology and even just tracking the flow of information/memes, that is super powerful analytically- but there's a huge stigma because of that common misunderstanding!

      @Santos Kemmer At the time this was released, she hadn't come out. There are a few things that could be interpreted as foreshadowing her coming out, such as the newspaper the arsonist was reading, but I think the most obvious was the "it's time for egg" scene after the credits. "Egg" in the trans community refer to someone who shows signs that they might be trans but haven't realized it yet (or possibly haven't yet accepted it).
      Of course, it's entirely possible that it is hindsight bias and we're reading too much into it rather than Abi deliberately dropping hints, but it's also the kind of thing she would do, so it could be either.

      Like… it’s something that I’d expect to encourage only marrying within the tribe, and ostracizing anyone who doesn’t.

Not two weeks ago I heard someone talk about tuskless elephants in that very manner, as if elephants were smart enough to not grow tusks on purpose.
      Also I think there's an idea that lingers, more or less consciously, that human evolution is finished, cause we're great as we are and couldn't be better. It goes with everybody's impression that whatever happened to them in their youth and childhood must have been good somehow since it made them the person they are; it doesn't often occur to people that another life story might have made them even better persons.

    in these pandemic times ive literally had a (former) friend tell me that vulnerable people (like me, with a chronic medical condition) /should/ just die if we're not strong enough to survive without intervention. she managed to find her way there through 'scientific' conclusions based on the biology she was learning at school.

    • @katharineeavan9705
      @katharineeavan9705 Год назад +16

      The British government reached the same conclusion. Individuals and care homes got mass letters telling them vulnerable people were to be given automatic DNAR orders, and that if an ambulance was called for them one wouldn't be sent out so don't bother.
      Literally there were relatively predatory care homes coming forward like "um, no? If one of my residents needs urgent medical care, I WILL be calling an ambulance and I WILL be kicking up stink if one is not sent out because what the actual f*ck is wrong with you?!" and the government sorta backslid on it a little by seemingly just not enforcing it as much as they wanted.

      Seriously. At the start of the pandemic, my roommate at the time had pneumonia and bronchitis and had already been isolating for 2 months. Her doctor, not mine, wrote me a doctor's note stating I should work from home because getting covid would likely kill my roommate. I lost my job because my boss, a DOCTOR, refused to make any sort of accommodation for me to work from home and I refused to potentially infect my roommate. (3-4 hours of public transit a day means it's likely I would have caught it.) My boss told me I should just think of myself and not worry if my roommate got sick. What she really meant was, "this will inconvenience me too much, why aren't you thinking of ME?!"

By simple math we conclude there wasn't any Tesla factory at least 70 years after Marx and his communist criminals, which means Elon Musk didn't call police on him.

    Random note on the tree with those growths at 4:50, those are called burls or burrs. It is a cancerous growth in response to stress from the tree, either from injury, infestation, fungus or even virus.

It made me quite emotional, because I rarely felt so seen as in - the character who is saying this is the arsonist, a character who wants you to empathize with him and then spouts out garbage ideas. This is a bit mean, of course, but it is a parody, so of course it's over the top.

The fact that even when it comes naturally to most parents to want to support their children, they can't fit a trans child with their own framework of the world, so they actively dismiss their child to let their worldview remain unchanged.

      to be fair, it seems like a choice: we either limit our needs to allow for future and population growth/stability, we do nothing accept that within a few generations we will get an extinction event (as we will have sucked the planet dry form resources with an added option of having a runaway greenhouse gasses effect), or we will need to limit (and control, not just taking off half and waiting for the next doubling to occur) our population to account for both the renewing of resources form the planet, and our preferable standard of living. I think we can all agree that option 2 isn't really an option at all, that option 1 is the preferred method of the have-nots (or let's say those with a communal interest in mind) and option 3 is the preferred method of the haves (or those that would rather act in their own self-interest). However, until we pick either options 1 or 3, we propagate option 2 making a successful transition to options 1 or 3 less likely to succeed.

We can be wrong about things but it would be because of our unreasonableness and inaptness in deriving empirical data; but at no stage there would be a human exercising power over how things should be organized. Human could decide goals (which can have varying degrees of being inclusive of general interests) but not hypothetical imperatives which have to have an objective nature.

This also means that proteins associated with DNA are themselves hereditary which has lead to the major surge in evolutionary developmental biology. So yes and now. The switch was turned on by the parent and that on switch was passed on, but the trait was already there.

    I'm suprised you didn't mention Alfred Wallace. He figured out natural selection around the same time as Darwin. He was also a socialist and while middle class, still firmly part of the working class. He had to fund his expeditions by selling his specimens as collectibles to rich people. Just like Darwin, he delayed publishing his findings for fear of the implications. Except what he feared was giving Malthusians more ammo. He eventually got over it, and because a mutual friend told Wallace that Darwin was working on something similar, they decided to submit their papers to the royal soicety together. Darwin just gets the credit because he was also sitting on a draft for Origin of the Species, which he published shortly afterwards.

    Abigail, I would LOVE to see a video by you on the philosophies and ethics of “modern eugenics”. What I mean by that is parents who undergo genetic screenings for embryos before IVF implantation to ensure their baby won’t have inheritable genetic illnesses. Doctors can carefully select embryos that are missing genetically inherited diseases like Huntington’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Downs Syndrome, maybe someday even Type 1 Diabetes and others. However this concept, making sure people with disabilities are never born, is straight up eugenics. Yes of course we WANT to stop preventable diseases. However who decides what conditions get prevented for which embryo? How much money does it cost to be sure you won’t have a disabled child? Paying money to have “perfect” babies rather than rolling the genetic dice on a possibly “imperfect” baby. I am begging for an episode covering this.

They inject tumor-causing genes into the tree cells (and some biosynthetic genes for sugars that the bacteria can live off of) and then the bacteria colonize these tumors. We use these bacteria as an easy means of human-driven gene modification in plants. We just swap out the tumour-cousing gene for things we want the plant to make.

      Also, Lamarck was retrospectively right. By accident. About something he couldn't have been thinking of at the time: CRISPR. How it occurs in bacteria is as hereditary adaptive immunity acquired during life and then passed onto the offspring cells. He was vindicated (in the most niche of niche cases) 😂

One of the mains points of lamark was the use/disuse theory of organ formation, which doesnt work even in bacteria. While a interesting point none the less, i still dont think you can say he was right.

      As to the Lamarckian nature of CRISPR. It's immunity acquired through the life of the bacteria and then passed to the offspring. Very broadly it applies but I was being tongue in cheek about it. I know it doesn't work as he originally intended

    The relationship between product and people is why I always cherish documentaries like How Its Made or series like the late Great Big Story. When you have popular media exploring the actual processes of creating products and shining lights on the workers, you get a lot more appreciation for what is being produced. It's a great way to bridge that gap if used effectively. Some people, like the History channel, use that to mystify the Elon Musks and the Fords and other such figures, but more genuine takes like the work of Anthony Bourdain are really helpful.

    Your point that natural selection isn’t random is so true! In fact, in the study of evolution, identifying changes which weren’t random indicates that selection happened, and that’s actually really hard to do, because often enough, neutral mutations like blonde hair in humans happen, which has absolutely no positive or negative impact. Also, as a leftist and a scientist, social Darwinism makes me absolutely livid.

      @Active Username "Elon hasn't done anything". So, why is it, that these engineers never produced what his companies have? How is it his company is the first private company to provide shuttle transport to the ISS? Proponents of communism are incredibly ignorant to how the real world works. You do realise to launch your own company requires investment and very often, people that do this put their own homes on the line right? In fact - if you think communism is such a great idea with regards to 'democratising companies' - guess what, you CAN DO IT RIGHT NOW. If what you say is such a perfect solution, why haven't workers formed together, created their own company and done so? Oh and good luck politicising a company. The company would spend more time debating, arguing, writing policies, that it would never produce anything competitive.
      In short - if you think 'all Elon has done is...' why the fuck haven't you done it.

    As a Chilean, I thank you for acknowledging the fueguinos and their story on your video. Selk'nam were victims of the human zoos as they were called and they suffered a lot at the hands of landlords and hunters. They had semi nomadic societies in which they defined territories between the tribes through mutual accord, collaborating during times of famine and having a very interesting relationship between themselves and the land. Also they had pretty dope rituals like the kloketén, where they dressed in strange garments meant to represent their deities and demons. If anyone is interested I urge you to read about them and their story, there are even interviews with some of the last descendants of their culture. I would like for their history to not die, we already did them a lot of bad during the 19th and early 20th century. Thank you

      @@felipedaiber2991 well, there are still some remnants of selk'nam culture and language being maintained by the few descendants of their people, as well as apparently some records of their numerical system, but definitely their civilization was reduced to almost nothing compared to what they used to be. Selk'nam were not particularly belic, exemplified by their sense of community between clans, and they certainly weren't prepared for what the Spaniards and later the British did to them, treating them as animals. On a final note, there was a video floating around that showed the selk'nam myth of creation if you're interested, I think it's still around.

      Leftists will view an "ideal" world, but from the bottom instead. We see ourselves as the bottom of that society, the dregs, and we see us as the workers and the toilers. And that can actually be the case - we can't all be leaders, but we can all be workers. And by viewing the bottom of society, we don't just see the results like a Rightist does - we also see the consequences.
      I ask everyone to really examine the lowest members, the victims so to speak, of their ideal system. Would they like to live in that society as the dregs? And if the answer is no, then the system is shite and will not work. But if, like under Anarcho Communism for me, the answer is yes...
      Then maybe you're onto something.
      Society should be judged not on the strength of the army or the power of the economy, but rather, if the people on the bottom are happy and cared for.

Basically it’s before your born into the world you are told that you will be a self-aware (at least to some extent) species that is capable of suffering. How would you like the actors that have agency to set up the world (and obvious does that align with our current world)?
      The answer is obvious that you wouldn’t want the world to continue the way it is because your more likely to born as a factory farm chicken than a human. So you’d want the actors with agency to run the world quite differently.
