      I honestly didn't get it. I understood it as a "You think an action is immoral and/or unnatural? Come with me I'm gonna perform that action and prove you wrong!" But performing something that someone else consider as sin doesn't prove that it is or isn't a sin.

      Perhaps possibly not to their personal mind, even though it still *Should or Ought to* in this case, but theirs isn't necessarily the mind that matters in the overall equation.
      But it Does prove that for the individual performing the act, and anyone who understand the word "natural", and especially if they're someone who is moral. Forrest understands those things, and Forrest is a moral human being. Having non-procreative sex does literally nothing to change that; and that whole point was meant to be his way of saying "See?! I'll still be the *Exact Same* Moral Person after I do this Perfectly Natural Thing that you *Falsely Believe* to be unnatural, despite your disagreement."
      As for defining it as "sin", which wasn't even mentioned in the original comment, that's just a bit silly imo (and indicative of religious bias). Regardless of what an individual person, or even regardless of what an entire group of Religions, chooses to *Attempt* to define as "immoral" (i.e. "sinful/non-procreative sex")... that neither necessarily nor automatically makes it so. Morality is far more complicated than the simplistic & binary blacks and whites that most religious ideologies [abrahamic ones especially] want to espouse and falsely allege pure objectivity for.

    "Sex exists for procreation" - This is true, until animals become intelligent enough to figure out it _feels awesome._
    Because animals like things that feel good and are fun.
    That's how nature works.
    That's the same reason animals have favorite foods: they like it.
    So sex _evolved_ for procreation, and then _pleasure_ evolved to encourage procreation, and then _intelligence_ facilitated non-procreative sex.
    It also helps tighten social bonds in many species, most notably humans in many cases, but also in bonobos.

    0:15 "Did you know that we discovered the outer planets before we discovered bacteria?" Jupiter and Saturn are naked-eye planets, and have been known since prehistoric times, so we don't usually talk about them being "discovered". Uranus was discovered in 1781 and Neptune in 1846, both well after van Leeuwenhoek's discovery of animalcules.
    "In 1610, Galileo built a telescope, and looked up in the sky, and saw Saturn and Jupiter." Yes, but he didn't 'discover' them. He did discover the 4 largest moons of Jupiter, now called the 'Galilean moons' in his honor.

      @@SomeOnlinePerson: 70 years before Galileo's telescope, Copernicus wrote that "the followers of Plato suppose that all the planets -- which are otherwise dark bodies -- shine with light received from the sun", which would make them fairly distinct from stars. (Given his model, I think Copernicus himself must have had a similar opinion, but I haven't found him saying so.)
      So the idea that planets *weren't* stars was around prior to Galileo, but I don't know how widespread it was.

    The first mass extinction is such a cool event (as an epic tale of early Earth, of course), but I think my favorite extinction is the Great Dying. It's just that there are so many intertwined systems affecting each other like dominos and changing everything. Just with one extinction event, you can learn things about geology (the magma provinces that triggered it), marine currents (how heat disrupted them), chemistry/biology (still waters leading to lack of dissolution of oxygen in water killing aerobic organisms, and their decomposition producing toxic gases), ice ages/global warming, the rise of a new type of animals (I believe it's the start of dinosaurs' diversification?)...

    It's just so cool to know that oxygen was toxic once upon a time, and the only reason life survived it ravaging the planet was by evolving to use its reactivity in our biochemistry. Billions of years later, and virtually all life is dependent upon the constant presence of oxygen.
    It puts so many things into perspective. Nothing on Earth is static, or happens in a vacuum, and life is unbelievably resilient. If we all nuked each other tomorrow and mankind vanished, you can bet in a few million years we'd have a slew of creatures that tolerated or thrived in the presence of gamma radiation.

It's a rubbish argument - all it shows is that we evolved because of the environment. If the earth were different then sure, humans would not exist, but other life forms would have evolved which were better suited to that different environment.

Because the earth itself did not have its current habitats when animals first evolved. What makes giraffes invasive today? They may very well have been when they first arrived in Africa, but is it fair to condemn them as such today? They're a valuable part of their ecosystem. The animals around them have adapted to their presence. This is not equivalent to the Australian cane toad. In my very limited education in biology, i was told that all species are foreign to their environment to some extent, and that those which fit well into their environment are called "naturalized", those who were introduced but cause no apparent disruptive impact to the ecosystem are "alien" and those who are disruptive are "invasive". I might have been wrong, and I genuinely would love a response clarifying this point.

    Interesting thing about "animalcule": van Leeuwenhoek never used this science-y word. He usually used *dierken*, which was literally "little animal" and deliberately chosen for ease of comprehension--no one had ever seen microscopic life before and he was trying to get across that these seemed to be living, moving little animals.
    The animalcule culprit was Henry Oldenburg, the secretary of the Royal Society, who chose to translate van Leeuwenhoek's dierken as animalcule. The common speculation I've seen for this decision was to make van Leeuwenhoek's work seem more momentous, which is a little weird considering it didn't really need the help of an inkhorn word.

    From an elaborate theory about the origins of polyphony, went on to positing that hominins had (co)evolved as they did as an *aposematic* defence against lions.

    I thought the main cause of extinction during the Great Oxygen Catastrophe was, y'know, the oxygen? Most life back then was anaerobic, oxygen actually being toxic to them, so when the atmosphere started filling up with the stuff, all those species eventually went extinct.
    Did the ice ages actually play a more important role there? Life around that time was still all in the oceans, especially near deep-sea vents, so I didn't think it'd be that important.

    • @janus9371
      @janus9371 Рік тому

      I imagine that would be a part of it. A great deal of oxygen being introduced to a system that actively does NOT like it being there would definitely be disruptive in a lot of ways. Inability to breathe, toxic environment, total planet cooling resulting in the assumedly comfortable temperatures these creatures were used to dropping dramatically and probably to a deadly degree. You're right, creatures that lived near sources of great heat likely would not have felt much of an effect, but that is one very specific context for survival. Life everywhere else would be having a very bad time.
      I think that if we had enormous quantities of carbon dioxide poured into our atmosphere WITHOUT the countermeasures like plants that we have now, we would see the very same happen today. Our atmosphere would be inundated with an unbreathable substance and our planet would heat to an unbearable degree. Sure, we have tools as intelligent beings, which help us ward off the dangers that would otherwise kill something else, but the world around us will die except in the extremes.
      of course, the last bit is speculation from a layman, but it seems like that would be the case.

    • @SomeOnlinePerson

      I suppose it'd depend on the speed. If it was a slow enough process, there could be some evolving an increasing oxygen tolerance (that would probably set the foundation for oxygen-breathing animals), but they'd all still be used to the heat, and it might be harder to find a warm-enough place during an ice age than to find a place with at least less free oxygen during the build-up. I know that anaerobic bacteria can gather and even become a problem in aquariums (especially in the substrate at the bottom), and a lot of them can actually be found in mud and even just soil. And it's sort of interesting that he mentioned that "the whole Earth was rusting," because apparently the bacteria that causes tetanus is anaerobic.
      So while the oxygen itself surely killed plenty, it's possible that the cold was a bigger blow. It's also possible that he intended to present the whole thing as the murder weapon and ended up minimizing the direct impact of the oxygen and maximizing the direct impact of the cold sorta by accident.

      @UCiBgpPUATSXZaM6RGn-8YLA "lots" is a bit vague and subjective I'll admit. I mean there's like 800 species of just tarantulas so even if we can say list a hundred or so animals where we observe recreational sex, that's still nothing if we're going to factor in literally all animals. Fish and coral polyps and termites and tarantulas included.
      But, if we specify we're talking about mostly mammals that form social groups, it's actually not so exceptional. Dolphins and primates, but you can also add meerkats, giraffes, rats and mice, dogs, and elephants to an off the cuff list of animals that do it too. Its part of how they(and we) evolved to form strong bonds so they stick together and protect each other.
      Whether we should employ everything that's naturally occurring in the animal kingdom in our daily lives as humans, that's a whole other conversation lol. Sorry im rambling😂

    Come on now, Galileo didn't *discover* Saturn and Jupiter, those were known since ancient times. Uranus was only discovered in 1781, but that was after the bacteria date you mentioned.

    • @icycooldrink6085
      @icycooldrink6085 Рік тому

      It seems petty to diminish the work of Galileo by failing to categorize his accomplishments as works of 'discovery'.
      Certainly, Saturn and Jupiter were among many celestial bodies that were observable with the naked eye, as recorded since ancient times. But is it not a 'discovery' to see it clearly magnified for the first time, to the point that we now had new knowledge about surface characteristics and satellites orbiting these planets.
      How would we classify the acquisition of this new knowledge if not discovered?
      Who discovered, for example, the giant turtle (random example)? The first person to see one? The first person to document seeing one? The first person to study them and document their behaviors and life cycles? The first person to dissect and document their internal structures?
      I would argue the answer is all of the above to some extent, and each one could reasonably be described discoverers, collectively or individually. After all, we all stand on the shoulders of giants - nobody ever discovered anything without knowledge discovered by someone else.

    • @Marconius6
      @Marconius6 Рік тому

      @@icycooldrink6085 I disagree with you there: to discover something means to first become aware of its existence at all: so Galileo didn't discover that Jupiter and Saturn EXIST, though he did discover other things about them, which is the actual important part there. Compare this to the fact we didn't even know Uranus and Neptune existed at all until much later (tho apparently there were some observations about Uranus as a star or comet before then, so that one is debatable).
      I will also add that 'd0iscover' is something that can be limited to a group of people: some people say "well Columbus didn't discover America, there were already people there!", which is true, but also entirely missing the point that he discovered the continent *for Europe,* who did not, in fact, know about it. The same is true for giant turtles or any other 'exotic' species: people living in those areas of the world may have known about them since ancient times, but for a European naturalist, it was still a 'discovery' from their perspective.

    • @icycooldrink6085
      @icycooldrink6085 Рік тому

      @@Marconius6 The overall point (hence the bit about the firsts of giant turtles) was that discovery is not just about the 'first' of something, and that 'firsts' can be subdivided almost infinitely to make them a 'first by caveat'.
      There is also the issue of attribution. Did Columbus actually see land first? Was there someone up in the crow's nest or at the bow who saw land and then alerted everyone else? Does that not make this person the discoverer? But it was Columbus's expedition, right? Another caveat.
      Nonetheless, people DO say that Columbus discovered the Americas. Despite the caveat, this is true. I believe that Galileo is likewise sometimes attributed for the discovery simply because he discovered new information about these celestial bodies which lead to a fundamental shift in how the world understood our relationship with the universe. If you insist on a caveat, then how about for University of Padua?
      But, my overall response was more to indicate that this level of pedantry is not really justified in this case. If you watch the video back Forrest doesn't even make the claim that Galileo discovered Saturn and Jupiter. He said:
      - ... we discovered the outer planets before we discovered bacteria
      - In 1610, Galileo built a telescope and ... saw Saturn and Jupiter'
      - It wasn't until 1676 that Leeuwenhoek ... saw the very first evidence of microorganisms
      Three statements, all of them true, none of them making the claim that Galileo discovered Saturn or Jupiter. That he saw it through a telescope does not imply it had never been seen before. I think it Galileo was cited simply because the act of viewing these planets through a telescope at that point in time is so well documented. And read my post again. I too made no attribution of discovery to Galileo beyond the additional knowledge which he did, in fact, discover.
      So if you want to quibble over what 'discovery' is, that's fine I guess. But at least acknowledge that your original post is taking exception at something which was not actually claimed in this clip.

      I don't believe there is any intent to imply Galileo 'discovered' Saturn and Jupiter. He says 'we' knew about it, and then cites the year that Galileo saw same through a telescope. I maintain that it is simply a well documented reference point of 'knowing about' these objects before we knew about bacteria. This, and the fact there is a pleasing symmetry between these events given they are both scientific and both feature the scientific use of lensing.
      He's doing a monologue to camera, citing a series of facts that show a progression up to our current understanding. I find it incredibly unreasonable and unrealistic to demand that each and every point be qualified and caveats noted in an unscripted video aimed at social media. If for no other reason than it would make the content at least twice as long and infinitely more complicated.
      You are taking exception at an implication, rather than at something that was said, and now you've been called on it and want to wave it away as 'bullshit'. I get it. But you wanted to be pedantic about what was said, and if we're going to put it under a microscope (more symmetry there), then we need to examine what was actually said.
      At no point was the claim made that Galileo discovered Saturn and Jupiter, though in 1610 Galileo did in fact make well documented discoveries regarding these planets.
      I could claim Forrest implied that Leeuwenhoek drinks only pond water because he mentions the name, pond water and teeth in the same sentence. Me making that claim in no way demonstrates that an implication was intended or exists.

    It's always neat to hear your casual inclusion of various groups of people (and also of lots of other things, but for different reasons), especially in spots where most might consider it unnecessary if they even think of it. So like at the end there, you're fired up (as you do) about the silliness of puritanical ideas around sex and how it's multi-functional and whatnot, and then you just casually add a few extra words to acknowledge and validate asexual folks and distinguish them from people who just have a problem with sex. Sure, there are plenty of aces who are also bothered by sex in some way (sometimes for very good reasons, sadly), but there are also plenty of aces who find it fascinating at least as a concept, who have a particularly "dirty" sense of humor, and even aces who are not only willing to engage in partnered sex (without being pressured, because that's not real consent anymore), but also some who will still seek it because all the nerves and stuff usually still work just fine and they still think it's fun (they just... don't experience the sexual attraction aspect of it and have to base their choice of partner off of *all the other things* can make a fellow human seem like a good potential partner).
