  • It is true. Specific types of cheese like emmentaler have high content in tryptophan, which can become serotonin in the brain. This allows for similar results like MDMA or other serotonin influencing stuff but only in theory. Tryptophan is an amino acid. So it also goes to other reactions but the tryptophan coming from cheese seems to get to a higher percentage to the brain.


  • Well, it’s useless. The point of an advertisement is to get people to their products. Writing Levis there (which might be not possible due to rules) would make it possible to find the brand but this isn’t a proper advertisement. How would anybody, who doesn’t know Levis find them only with this? Also people who know levis need to do some thinking to get there. I would call it bad advertisement, because it doesn’t really trigger interest or curiosity to find the source easily. Not that I find it good that the advertisers are too dumb to do advertisement but this is not doing it’sjob or is at least making in thwory the cost up it takes to be there.

    In that case don’t go with the masses. It’s a human weakness to do so and is the reason why political votes often land one side heavy although this would not be democratic in the end. This is also the reason why democratic votes are anonymised to prevent this natural human behaviour of going with the masses but it does not work wither to prevent it.





  • You know whats funny? Technically speaking, the only thing that holds luna from being a planet is only the fact that earth and moon are not declared as a biplanetary system. This is due to the weak argument that the mass center of the two planets is JUST under earths surface. When we argue with anything else, like for example gravitational pull, the sun pulls stronger than earth, making the moon not part of earths system but equally a part of the suns system, declaring earth and moon as a biplanetary system. Moon is very large in relation to earth to be an actual moon (like Jupiters or Mars’ moons). Strictly speaking by ignoring the (somehow) most relevant but weakest argument of the mass center being (just) inside earths crust, it could clearly be declared as biplanetary system


  • Why not just having the character die for some reason to have this issue handled? I mean it is nice to keep the actor and manage the story to handle his weight and I personally like it but from a studio point of view, this is simply illogical, because they loose money due to him. Simpler would be to kill the character and letting the actor leave to safe the profit.










  • Koalas have even two oposable thumbs but are not able to use them intellectually. They are smooth brained, because their digestive system is highly specialized for breaking down eucalyptus and this needs a lot of energy, so development of higher intellect is impaired in these animals. Else the potential would be extremely high for these to evolve similarly to us intellectually. Having two opposable thumbs is even more advantageous than just one. You can see that in a few cases of polydactyly, where these cases have a second pointing finger. They use it like a second thumb and are far more capable in manipulating objects with one hand than non-polydactylic humans are. Koalas could do that too, if they would have evolutionary more energy left for their brain.

    Understanding other languages that never developed from each other are extremely hard to analyze from one of the two perspectives and it even seems more primitive on first glance. I wouldn’t assume that dolphines are that intelligent to develop such a sophisticated language as we did with verbs, adjectives and what not but wales language has been tried to analize by correlating it with fitting propositions by creating a knowledgebase and it was found to be pretty sophisticated already.

    Also as a cognitive scientist I have to say that our language might only seem from our perspective very sophisticated. If wales were more intelligent they would lough similarly about our weird noises we do with our mouths, because they are not built to understand our language, the same way as we are not built to understand their language.



  • What about birds, dolphins and wales then? They arguably also communicate in complex ways as we do through another type of “language”. Also on another note, animals also do use propositions, while this is still discussed in behavioural sciences, scientists are pretty sure that dogs for example do understand propositions too without having a language.

    Also what makes us strage? Our species has lived through a lot of different states in history, which made us evolve more often than other species did, which makes us seem quite fifferent to other animals, while we are in construction still very close to other animals.

    And compare us to chimps and bonobos. They are very similar to us in many ways except for the capabilities we excert through our neocortex, which is far more developed then theirs aside from some morphological differences.

    And where do dolphines work on the same principles like ants? They are also extremely different, like we are to lets say pigeons.

    I would call your argument invalid.
