Yeah but that would be a silly thing for me to do. I’m not going to read your notes, I have a hard enough time with my own handwriting
And it is now my time to switch gears and focus on things I am actually concerned about. Thank you for the sidestepping
I am very fond of dancing when I have the time.
…usually by myself.
I wonder why?
Have fun
Oh @Ichthus77 there is one more thing I thought was worth talking about:
You discussed mutations “adding information” in relation to human evolution, and there were actually 2 things wrong with that
1 is, of course, an addition of genes count as mutations, so mutations can in fact quite literally add information
But the second faulty assumption is that, because we’re more intelligent, that must mean we have more, or bigger, or longer genes. There’s not any necessary thing in genetics which says more intelligent creatures must have more complex DNA or more genes in their DNA. We could have (though idk if we did) evolved intelligence without making our genes any more complex or long than the genes of less intelligent species.
In fact, in our species, individuals with an extra chromosome (and thus quite a lot of added information) are often notably less intelligent
Thank you for (wo?)mansplaining (without answering my question) or correcting something that I did not assume. I asked questions for a reason.
It’s OK to say you don’t know.
I think it’s a sign of defensiveness that you brought up the whole gender splain thing. I don’t see you as any kind of enemy, I’m trying to inform you. You made some assumptions that were faulty. I’m not insulting you by letting you know that they were faulty.
I made no assumption. And it’s the second time you tried to read my mind and failed.
No, it was clear what you meant when you said mutations can’t add information. I got it right
Read my notes. Notice the questions.
Perhaps you could similarly ask some questions rather than assuming you know what I assume?
Click the up/down arrow:
The genes you were talking about were already there. That is not new information.
If there’s something specific in your notes you’d like to talk about, please let me know. I’m not just diving into a bunch of random notes for a course I never took, I can’t see what value I would gain out of that. That would be as valuable as asking me to read the Mundane Ironists thread.
I was talking about specific genes? When?
I can’t find where you mentioned the addition of genes lol, but you did say this:
(click the down/up arrow)
S/He’s actually saying something.
And what makes you think that it’s reasonable to quote that and say I was talking about genes that were already there?
You can use “he” in the future
“No. New. Information.”
Change my mind.
It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just three words out of context. I don’t know what your mind is to change
S’okay. You’re not alone.
