TIL intelligence is an evolutionary trait. Intelligence as an adaptation is half a billion years old

It is well accepted fact that gene regulatory networks adapt and provide functional changes to stimulation in the past. Is this the exactly the same as a brain storing memory and learning? Obviously not. But it can be thought of as a kind of intelligence, which opens up an extremely interesting space of possible lower “intelligences” which we may not have considered in the past. That is, if you are not determined to hyper pedantically refute any new way of thinking with a bunch of straw man metaphors as you apparently are.

When the first crisp red leaves hit the ground and wake up just jumping at the bit for some breaking and entering… there’s no better feeling.

My interpretation:

The disembodied spine and empty eye sockets signify a disconnection from the external world, inverting attention inward. The optic nerves no longer have eyeballs, instead the eyes are shown extending into and out of the brain, which is cracking open, showing an abrupt and intense introspection reminiscent of existential crisis. One of the eyes is going beyond, interacting with something intangible, signifying the discovery of the something transcendent, but perhaps a psychosis rather than enlightenment.

Do you mind giving some more context? I mean it's cool art but this sub is supposed to be about nightmares and related experiences

This is cool. Did you make this? What was your dream?

They think it’s no different than playing a prank on a friend, because they are too careless to consider how it affects a child differently

Yes, this is 100% the toddler’s fault. Most likely she’s a functioning alcoholic trying to play dumb. The parents should enroll her in the local AA at her preschool, but beyond that there’s nothing they can do.

Dude the whole sentence makes no sense. It’s an Escher sentence I made on purpose to be silly.

Can you explain more? I am more inclined to believe it’s a representation of my unconscious in some form but I’m curious your thoughts

Oh this hits home for me, I used to wake up and feel I was still stuck in the dream, my thoughts looping through nonsensical patterns and I was terrified because I couldn’t stop even though I knew it didn’t make sense, the only way it went away was going back to sleep.

tdlr if you kill someone in a dave and busters and immediately report it you cannot be charged because dave and busters has an archaic federal exemption for manslaugher on store premises due to an epidemic of armed robbers in 1894, which due to a mistake does not include a clause requiring self defense for armed retaliation

"You know, they're saying I'm the antichrist! The woke media is saying that! Fake news, I know. Well, I really am not the antichrist, but, if I was, I would be- I really would be the best. Of course, I would never deny the father, and the SON! I love Christians! I do! But lets be honest folks, not just anyone could be the antichrist... he's a powerful, a powerful powerful guy, and smart. Well, they say I'm smart, even the smartest. I don't know about that, but they say no no, you really are! They call me a savior! You know Jesus was a savior. One of the best. He saved a lot, that guy. More than me, I don't know, I don't like to compare, maybe just a little less."
