  • Reptilian muscles fatigue waaay faster than mammalian’s. That’s probably the reason why chewing doesn’t work for them. Also, the white muscle from reptiles is very good at giving explosive force, which is exactly what they are doing instead…

    This is a physiological difference given their evolution. I remember it from college. Biologist here.

    And . the same applies to why we can’t catch lizards, they are so fast… Right?.. until they aren’t. The trick to catch them is to make them run a little ;p










  • This. (Offline too.)

    Which generation did we really taught critical thinking to? In general, those “thinkers” or people with nice research skills (e.g. reading comprehension and other traits) were always a minority within each generation. And I agree there will be less now with AI. But we have no polls or measurement, so the title goes a little clickbaity, in resonance to the generalized discomfort towards a new technology that schools haven’t accomodated yet (e.g. all kind of solutions are seen in the wild)

    I reckon it was the same with arithmetislcs and calculators in the past. We were able to deal with that! (so that whatever proportion of people that graduates knowing arithmetics with each generation didn’t shrink “too much”.)

    If we are considering possible scenarios, let’s be optimistic too.

    AI (discounting other problems like their ecological footprint) may not be that bad on our educational systems once we adjust…
