Who doesn’t love to gaze at a beautiful butterfly fluttering by? Aesthetically speaking, they are simply wonderful to watch. Wonderful, that is, unless you are getting a rare glimpse of pheromone laced coremata.

@jamesconnop4029 2 года назад

+Leopardmask I'm not so sure. Humans are very effectively de-terraforming the planet. And species-ism plays an extremely large part in the selection of microhabitats that get conserved or managed. Look at how many rivers are stocked with a preferred sport-fish, or how many people have jumped onboard the 'protect the milkweed' campaigns. It's more about human interest than ecology. And I'm not convinced that 'beauty by accident' is a valid evolutionary concept.

@sunnyrainbowLTA 2 года назад

I wonder if there is a way to differentiate between a phobia of moths vs butterflies. To me, moths are out at dusk or night, are attracted to lights, fly in a really erratic manner, and are more likely to be fuzzy and ugly. It all started with a horror story I was told while camping as a kid about someone who had a moth lay eggs in their ear and that some types of moths just do that all the time. Yeah, I have zero idea if this is true, but I still can't sleep if there is a moth anywhere near me.

The Lek Paradox is interesting, but is it really that big a mystery? If sexual attraction selects for shiny hair, then shiny hair is an indicator of health rather than accident of birth.

@felixrivera895 2 года назад

@Zee Aye yes they are resource intensive to create, therefore the more impressive the feathers the better the health of the bird

@dancepiglover 2 года назад

But there could be genes that produce shiny hair.

@jasonreed7522 2 года назад

Do human parties (especially frat parties) count as leks? If so that sorta solves the paradox in that selecting for 1 or 2 traits doesn't have to be a genetic problem but can still weed out bad genes/unhealthy individuals.

@PetrSojnek 2 года назад

What if someone starts faking it though? As in activating gene, that pools their resources and instead of investing them into being strong and healthy butterfly, they invest it in growing big tentacles, making them overall weaker specimen, but with strong desirable trait.

1:45 "Not aliens from the planet Lepidop" ...except that in Ben 10, there actually are aliens called Lepidopterans, person-sized bugs that smell horrible and can shoot viscous goo stuff from their eyes and have a big spade tail thing that can pack a wallop. Ben calls his Stinkfly.

I don't believe that there's anything bad about butterflies! They're pretty and fluttery, and they don't bite or sting, nor do they infest homes.

They can definitely infest homes but it's very rare

Could apply the whole mating thing to humans too. People being attracted to external factors like money or popularity when choosing a mate instead of whether or not they are actually a capable parent for their offspring.

@cursedGalataea 2 года назад

You always have to ask yourself what the selection pressure is for the behaviour you're seeing. In a capitalist society, having less money and power directly result in worse success rates for your offspring. It effects your access to food, housing, education, spare time and energy. Does a rich business owner live in the ghetto and send their kid to community college? No, they live in a mansion and send their kid to Harvard. It's really sad that capitalism causes wealth to accumulate in the hands of those who already have it, and the rest of us get screwed over for the less and less that's available.

@darcieclements4880 2 года назад

@@cursedGalataea wouldn't it be nice if that were the worst behavior driven by unbridled capitalism? Alas, it is but the tip of the ice burg. Those who would further the wellbeing of all are shunned in favor of short term gains and doomed to never have the resources needed to advance unless they wish to cause great harm before the good.

@bobfleischmann5208 2 года назад

@@cursedGalataea - "Less that's available"??? Have you seen our society? There are riches beyond measure. All you have to do is tap in to it! Getting ahead in life is no big mystery. It's not luck or family traits. There's a reason why poor people remain poor - and it's not some sort of systemic _____________ (you fill in the blank with whatever "ism" you want). Not directed to you personally, but in general... get off your butt, put down your electronic devices, stop smoking and buying lottery tickets, get a job, work hard, spend less than you make, and invest wisely. Sorry for the rant, but we always seem to sit around and complain about the "evils of capitalism", when we could be doing things that actually help our situation instead of waiting for the government to solve our problems. I'm done!

There are literally like at least 4 different cures for cancer now. Want me to list them? Chemo injections, chemo pils, radiation, surgical removal. Grow up.

@tiffychevelure9107 2 года назад

And if you know somebody who didn't get cured, I imagine either the timing was simply bad (too late finding the cancer or they had it before a cure was found) or else they just had such bad genetics predisposing them to cancer than nature wanted them to die. Sorry, but stop spreading conspiracies about cancer and its curability.
