Right, and I don’t doubt you, empathy is how society grew. But empathy is not why society started.
Keep in mind that you wanted to keep old people in your tribe to look after the children. The men and women were looking for food and firewood and building materials. Losing children means the end of the tribe. Feeding the elderly is still security. It simply makes sense from a survival standpoint.
Obviously they had empathy as well. If you didnt, you wouldn’t bother to bury the dead, let alone give up valuable items as offerings, such as an ax. As far as I’m aware, that practice dates back at least 40k years. So obviously there was empathy there.
However, I would say that that empathy comes from security. “They were one of us”
But a rival tribe member dies? Do you think they would gather for that scenario? That would be empathy. And there’s no proof of that in a prehistorical context.

Sharing food is keeping alliances, is security.

I’m kinda surprised that nobody has harnessed our magnetic field to build a power source. Or at least tried. I have no idea how it could work, and I may be dumb as shit for this. But I feel like it could be possible if we had another 500 years left of society.

Societies weren’t built on empathy, they were built on security. Not just physical security but food as well. No society in history was built on empathy, ever.

I think they meant the wraith guy that posted it, not “god”. But for someone named wraith, to encourage following another person named wraith seems suspicious.

I think it also has a lot to do with the humidity of human breath.

I appreciate that you stated it in a way that the fun fact is there’s a theory, and not that the theory was definitive fact. But it definitely seems plausible.

That’s awesome! Now can we cover parking lots in solar panels? Thus giving electricity and shade in one of the hottest environments? I would absolutely give my business to a company that did that.

Yeah, I agree with that, but the fact that people will continue to argue shit is awesome. Like even shit that most of us know is BS, someone is out there proving why it’s BS. That’s my point. I’m happy that there are people that still have enough energy left to say “this is bullshit and here’s the proof” because I’m running out of steam.

Honestly I am a little surprised that anybody looked into something that we all pretty much already knew.

We CAN do that. Whether we choose to as a society, is far more up in the air, unfortunately.

It’s also got some trick jaws, it’s not 100% from size alone. Like dunkleosteus, which had a novel jaw that amplified the force.

I once gave a speech on butterflies while stoned off my ass. Got really, REALLY fucking stoned, with a buddy cause I was pretty sure I didn’t have to go to that class that day. Checked the syllabus and turns out I had to go. We picked the subject of other people’s speech, and gave a 3 minute “speech” on butterflies, which I mostly just modified Mitch hedberg jokes to fit butterflies. Got the class laughing and got an A. 🤷🏼♂️

I mean, have you ever seen a pug? They’re fighting for air their entire life. Or chihuahua’s? Awful personality and bred out of usefulness.

- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 1 month ago:
The good thing about the fallout series is that unless you’re in survivor, you can generally carry enough to deal with the encounter. It’s not like far cry where you’re just like “FUCK! WORST possible timing!” And it was always like a stupid fucking badger or something. I don’t even mind coming across death claws. I’m carrying 15 mini nukes, 120 stimpacks, leveled up power armor and enough ammunition to make lead poisoning a bigger environmental threat than the rads.
