Well now I want to know why though

Hm? I’m sure people are trying, and not to say AI won’t be incredibly useful, too. I just think there’s quite a few avenues to go down with it.

This is why I’m comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain’t gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.

I guess so. Roosters are the ones that crow, but when they’re alone (seeing themselves in the mirror) I suppose they figure they don’t need to signal there’s danger. I’d have to look for the video and paper for more details on whether they tested whether this was true with other roosters or just chickens, but from my memory I think they did both

I heard a pet behaviorist explain the mirror test for roosters/chickens had to be designed with consideration for them being social animals. They found when putting a mirror without other chickens around, the roosters wouldn’t crow when a predator was flying overhead. Yet, with other chickens there, they did

Gotta know how to design the test, essentially

Well some of us are not only ignorant but had our critical thinking skills to varying levels stunted by shitty education. To me the answer didn’t necessarily matter as long as people agree both exist, but I’m glad to now have an answer grounded in science rather than relying on philosophical musing

I’ve heard in psychology it’s the opposite, which is kind of unfortunate. Like one guy I follow on YouTube talked about wanting to research something (can’t remember what, but take something like pedophilia) but was told that if he went forward with it he’d be viewed as one because people often want to research what they’re familiar with. I personally find that a bit more important to study than whether ants track their steps, but I’m just one person 🥲

Where are they native so I can potentially live the remainder of my life in irrational fear?

Bout that time, eh chaps?

He fell asleep awfully close to the edge
