  • imagine a 5-year-old with enough money, that every time a normal 5-year-old would be denied and throw a tantrum, he can instead pay someone enough to do whatever he wants. do you think that kid would ever meaningfully change his desires or behaviors, and grow into a socially and emotionally healthy adult?

  • by his own admission, he acts the same now as he did when he was 5, and I see no reason to doubt that assessment. so it apparently takes more than 75 years to teach him anything

  • I've often imagined a little comic strip where a dentist goes to the doctor. the doctor draws blood for tests, or gives an injection, or just pokes/cuts the dentist for no reason. the doctor then says "you're bleeding because you don't shower enough"

  • so basically it's a language problem, not a biology problem? people are incorrectly assuming that any group of species with a word to describe it must be monophyletic, and therefore include all unrelated species which would make it monophyletic?
