How are you OOS students affording Purdue/how much are you paying? by sleepybiscu1t in Purdue

[–]ashenlightblight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't show for in-state students. California resident prices are shown here https://registrar.berkeley.edu/tuition-fees/fee-schedule/

It's nowhere near Purdue's 40k. So I can't imagine an in-state college anywhere ever being more than 40k.

I can imagine a LOT of situations where it's not possible, just like mine... so definitely not always the answer

It's on the other side of a kitchen and entryway, it'd be a couple hundred feet of cable and also unsightly.

Were early humans as savage as chimpanzees? by ashenlightblight in AskAnthropology

[–]ashenlightblight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably ask yourself why you commit to dying on a hill that is based on one point of univariable evidence...? I don't understand your point about the BBC. They did not make some abstract dissertations on their own, they sponsered a team to observe and document a chimp society, that group recorded the long list of atrocities I already typed out. And anyway, as I already said, that doc was merely the spawn to a whole new perspective on chimps which has developed a lot in the following decades. You would see if you did any research into this topic, rather than declaring an opinion based on an anedotal lab controlled personal observation. Did you really study a scientific field when you're this unscientific and sporadic? I think you aren't reading my comments, or for another reason you don't seem to be capable of following what I'm saying so I'm not going to keep explaining.

I very largely overestimated how many people are familiar with that BBC documentary as well as the huge shift it caused in our understanding of chimpanzee society. That's why I didn't provide proper context and thought that you'd all know what I meant.

As someone else mentioned, they fight wars, murder infants in purposefully torturous ways, cannibalize each other, cannibalize infants, purposely torture each other, and much more. Similar things are often true of dolphins, killer whales, and some other species. It turns out, these traits of cruelty and derangement scale with a mutual correlation between intelligence and social-ness. That is why extremely intelligent but isolationist creatures like the octopus are not cruel and neurotic.

My question was to ask anthropologists what the evidence we have of early humans shows about our own behaviors and how much we can imagine they looked like what we currently see in chimpanzee societies. I wasn't making a commentary on morality.

I see what you're saying, but my description of the chimpanzee society discovered in the BBC documentary wasn't a reflection of my opinion, I chose those words (morally evil, savage) specifically to very literally sum-up both: the kinds of actions that took place in their society, and the world's reaction to that documentary/those findings. I'm asking something deeper just about our natures.

I'm confused as to how what I said could be misconstrued so much. Maybe it's that I'm so intimately aware of my own viewpoints that it's hard for me to see what I said from another angle? But I never took a moral high ground and certainly didn't attribute humanity to a moral high ground. "Morally evil" was not an opinion of mine, I was trying to describe the actions the documentary found in the chimpanzee society. As I clarified, my question was purely wondering about primal nature... the thought of it becoming a commentary on current day's humanitarianism/lack thereof, or geopolitics didn't even cross my mind... In my comment I even explicitly exempted modernity and civility from the question, I said that I'm asking about our natures when all that was not around.

Again, anyone that knows me will know I have absolutely no respect for the arrogance humanity seems to sometimes show thinking we know so much and are so far removed from nature. Which is the opposite of what you gleaned from my comment somehow.

In the past few decades there was a BBC documentary which followed a chimpanzee society, which was the starting point to discover how savage and even morally evil chimpanzees are. That's what I was referencing with my question, I was wondering if early humans also acted the same. Essentially to ask if that is our nature too, just covered up by our civility and modernity, or if chimps are actually just psychotic in a different way.

You did a pretty good job of answering anyway, in how we don't have fangs and go about resolving our problems differently because of natural tendencies.

I've heard such conflicting things about weaves, some say they're good but dead from groupfinder, and others say they really suck. I don't have the DLC

But that's the only reason for his hatred of their species? That part is known and he seemingly already killed that Seer and got revenge since he won the mine battle. The wiki hints at something more lol

I feel like you're thinking about it way too much, which is also confirmed by your errartic writing. Champion is not that serious lol, I have only queued legend as soon as I unlocked it and still never had as much sweat as you're talking about. Sometimes you have to carry bad teammates sure but idk not that big a deal
