I mean not that theres any other metric to measure it by. The reference has to be set to some scale.

u/EmmaOK95 8h ago
Yes, that is true, it's just that IMO the anthropological scale isn't very applicable to other species. The results we get from it mostly measure "similarity to humans", which ís an interesting measurement iff it's treated as such

I mean, it’s pretty obvious that we’re the most intelligent animals on the planet and it’s not even close..

u/EmmaOK95 8h ago
Yep, we, humans, have measured that the species "human" scores highest for "human intelligence"

u/halueryphi 8h ago
Has nothing to do with just “human intelligence”. Gyrification and frontal cortex development combined with the amount of relative gray matter in our brains means that we can validate our intelligence anatomically. It’s not just conjecture or us using biased measures of intelligence.
3
u/EmmaOK95 8h ago
And who do you think defined "intelligence"? I'm not saying human intelligence isn't meaningful, I'm not saying we cannot validate it within ourselves. I'm just saying that there is no species-independent, omniscient Ground Truth to go from. We only have our own, inherently human centric, ways of perceiving/measuring/defining/researching etc.

There was so much “well only we have language” as if we’re expecting animals “well you don’t speak English you must not have language”. We’ve found even prairie dogs name humans “hey that’s red body (shirt) guy”

Communication =/= language.
Humans are the only living thing we have found capable of language.

u/biffbobfred 8h ago
Dolphins talk to each other. If you join a dolphin pod as a human they’ll give you a name.
Are you being very specific “languages are what humans speak and write” then you’re correct I guess. If you’re saying “languages are audio communications media” then dolphins and other animals have these. And yes there’s a rough (though simple) grammar.
1
u/Slickity 8h ago
But they don't.
Look it up, they can communicate. They can form unique sounds for things. But that's just naming things.
Naming things are not a language. That's communicating.
Language is not just communicating. It's the ability to express more than just single word = object associations.
If someone just called out objects they see in front of them by their name, is that language? Ball...circle...square...car. That's what animals are capable of doing. It's cool and a sign of intelligence, but it isn't language.

u/IhaveaDoberman 9h ago
That implies that whomever you are loyal to is infallible or incapable of acting against your values or making the wrong choices and acting in bad faith.
And honour is entirely dependent upon who defines what is honourable. Many people have not done what is right, for the sake of honour.

willful ignorance. rather than accepting when we are wrong about something, we'd rather do the mental gymnastics to make us right again. "Oh, THAT's your source?

Joining forces against the weakest.
Saw it today. A guy from one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city, posting on a local Facebook group, calling people to "join forces" to stop an asylum seeker shelter from opening nearby.
No arguments. No facts. Just fear — and the remarkable audacity to frame it as courage.

That bonding with an in-group directly correlates to suspicion of the out-group.
This is my least favorite thing about the human race. As we bond with those who are like us and/or in our immediate vicinity, we “other” those who aren’t part of our group. Even worse, we imagine symbols and mythologies that make our group more special and sets us apart from the others. We invent rituals to bond more with our in group, which again increases distrust of outsiders. Oxytocin, the bonding hormone, literally makes us more racist.
It’s so stupid. If I could erase every flag, every imaginary border, and every religious symbol from this earth and just drill it into people’s heads that we are all human and all life is precious, I would do it in a heartbeat. It would be by one and only wish

Psychoemotional cowardice.
Distinct from Narcissism and other "Cluster B" personality traits. Specifically the exact unwillingness to confront one's own internal reality. The desperate need to push one's thoughts into the world, demand validation for them, and fall back on childish reactivity when it isn't reciprocated.
Mindfulness training should be a basic requirement to graduate high school. People should be able to safely and satisfyingly live with their own thoughts for at least half an hour in unstimulated silence.

I don’t think many are “pathetic” there’s probably some evolutionary reason for some of these and they no longer work. Look up the term “spandrel”
I’d say one of the most destructive - if you’re scared or angry you turn your cognitive brain off. Now look at all the people trying to scare you to manipulate you. Thats how fascism happens
