  • Well, it’s useless. The point of an advertisement is to get people to their products. Writing Levis there (which might be not possible due to rules) would make it possible to find the brand but this isn’t a proper advertisement. How would anybody, who doesn’t know Levis find them only with this? Also people who know levis need to do some thinking to get there. I would call it bad advertisement, because it doesn’t really trigger interest or curiosity to find the source easily. Not that I find it good that the advertisers are too dumb to do advertisement but this is not doing it’sjob or is at least making in thwory the cost up it takes to be there.

    In that case don’t go with the masses. It’s a human weakness to do so and is the reason why political votes often land one side heavy although this would not be democratic in the end. This is also the reason why democratic votes are anonymised to prevent this natural human behaviour of going with the masses but it does not work wither to prevent it.




  • You know whats funny? Technically speaking, the only thing that holds luna from being a planet is only the fact that earth and moon are not declared as a biplanetary system. This is due to the weak argument that the mass center of the two planets is JUST under earths surface. When we argue with anything else, like for example gravitational pull, the sun pulls stronger than earth, making the moon not part of earths system but equally a part of the suns system, declaring earth and moon as a biplanetary system. Moon is very large in relation to earth to be an actual moon (like Jupiters or Mars’ moons). Strictly speaking by ignoring the (somehow) most relevant but weakest argument of the mass center being (just) inside earths crust, it could clearly be declared as biplanetary system






  • What about birds, dolphins and wales then? They arguably also communicate in complex ways as we do through another type of “language”. Also on another note, animals also do use propositions, while this is still discussed in behavioural sciences, scientists are pretty sure that dogs for example do understand propositions too without having a language.

    Also what makes us strage? Our species has lived through a lot of different states in history, which made us evolve more often than other species did, which makes us seem quite fifferent to other animals, while we are in construction still very close to other animals.

    And compare us to chimps and bonobos. They are very similar to us in many ways except for the capabilities we excert through our neocortex, which is far more developed then theirs aside from some morphological differences.

    And where do dolphines work on the same principles like ants? They are also extremely different, like we are to lets say pigeons.

    I would call your argument invalid.



  • First of all, we are a product of it. We also demand nutrition, like any other animal. We work by the same principles like any other animal. We just have a large neocortex, which allows us to solve complex problems, which other animals cannot. We use this to our advantage like any other animal would do. I am not saying that it is the right thing we are doing but we grew out of primitivism and have much more complex problems at hand now, which mainly need us to reject our tribal behaviour and move past it. Many of these large problems are due to our tribalism. Why should we care about the world? We care about our loved ones only. Why should I give money to people I do not know? I would rather give it to my close ones. Everything else is a potential threat. Our tribalism doesn’t function properly at this scale and we have to move past it somehow, while it is deeply natural for us to behave like this and it’s at small scale also beneficial and not harmful to others.





  • It is in their nature to work like this. They are specialised drones serving that exact purpose. The queen is btw no different. It is the DNA housing drone that produces all kind of drones. Their brains are pheromonally connected. Most possibly they share one brain (and consciousness) and are equipped for some brain parts “getting lost”. It is anthropomorphizing to assume that they act like a human kingdom, where the queen (or king) is the upmost of all things to achieve in one or the other way. Ants are also all female. Only drones for mating are male.





  • It’s fine. I am a early carreer scientist and especially when writing a paper you often recognise what is actual hearsay and what is an actual fact. When writing I often recognise that I kinda fall into the pitfall of “woops, this thought of fact is actually hearsay… the more you know”, because I didn’t find a proper sourceanywhere making it essentially a myth. (Which is btw why I LOVE proper scientific sourcing)

    The hearsay argument I followed here especially as a german is the argument of “In communism everyone is equal but there are people that are more equal.”, which in the end would make a two class society again, where wealth is one sided. This is what is often said about DDR here, which also tried to follow socialist traits.
