      Evolution has never been proven. How could incremental selection explain THIS, there would have to be millions of dead mice excavated as the ‘failures’ of evolutionary pressure. Also imagine how much time this would take before one special mouse ‘discovered’ the Goldilocks zone of poisonous flower. Yet there is something demonic and uncanny about what truly drives life…

      If i recall correctly … i read in one scientific study that many small creatures have extremely fast reflexes and actually perceive speed/time/distance factors much faster than larger animals. Therefore, if they can mentally keep up with it-it must not be super fast to them 😮-idk.

      We blink over 200 times a day naturally WITHOUT thinking about it. Easy!
      We grow our hairs from our body and head more than 200 times a day and we have more than 200 hairs a day.
      We talk or sign language over 200 times a day (per word) if active, healthy or aggressive, not old ages, lazy bum or relax and rest, or poor healthy.
      We move our eyeballs around when we look at randomly. Over 200 eyeball movements a day.
      We play a video game or computer (including clicking or pressing) or train over 200 times a day.
      In our brain, we can hold more than 200 times a day. But we don’t use them all or we forget.
      We can do a lot of 200 per day randomly.

    I can imagine this as a sort of moral story where two pika steal from each others piles, never noticing the food that's gone missing. Their piles never grow, and they are both left without enough for winter. A tale of greed and sloth leading to their downfall or something of the sort.
