OK so this guy is a Physicist who:

- Changed his course to be SJW BS

- Got fired for giving all of his students A+ marks on the first day

It is actually possible for covid to exist but also for people to die from being treated improperly and for the vaccines to be dangerous and have poor efficacy.

Physicist. Question. Do you perceive mathematics as a human construct used to describe the physical world fairly accurately, or the fundamental language of the universe, where any shortcomings in applying that language is simply a lack of understanding of nuance and complexity by our species?

It seems to me that if mathematics is the most concise methodology for communicating and describing aspects of the natural world animal intelligences other than humans would have capitalized on this long ago. Opinions?

If intelligent life from another galaxy showed up on earth tomorrow would their fundamental mathematics be the same as ours?

Ahh, the multiversum theory :-)

I saw dicumentaries about this on Natgeo or BBC Earth

If you were designing an experiment to determine how an animal is assessing quantity how would you determine if the assessment is numerical or spatial? I think it’s interesting to ponder. Maybe three dispensers with identical treats each set to dispense a different number of treats over the course of a day? Would a dog eventually optimize the system if every machine would dispense one treat before progressing to the maximum set number and disabling the other dispensers?

Basic arithmetic skill (non spatial) has been proven in African grey parrots.

Why is it always the parrots?! If you ever have a vendetta against a person who is an animal lover, buy them a pet parrot. They live as long as we do, it’s like having a destructive, messy, noisy child that can fly in your house for the rest of your life. Anyway thanks for the rabbit hole lead. Off I go!

Depends on what kind of parrot. The Lori parrot lives only 5-7 years.

But the Cockatoo approx 100, and it can bites off your finger...

As a child our family was gifted a male Amazon Bluefront parrot. He loved my mother and would attack any male person in the house, flying off of her shoulder to assault them. I understand that they can live 85 years. He will certainly outlive my mother, not by much though. I absolutely will not be assuming the parrot’s care when she passes. 😁

The Ara kind parrot is similar the Cockatoo regarding lifetime. Try to give it to the Zoo 😉

I had turtles when I was a child. They live for hundreds of years. My father gave them to the Zoo for free. They still live happily 😊😊

I will home him. I don’t despise him for being a parrot, a zoo might be just the right solution. I enjoyed the idea of your childhood turtle pets living at a zoo. 😃
