And yet they know, on some level, that there is something that fuels their life/existence. Which is exactly my point. It is not necessary to know it’s 78% nitrogen and 20% oxygen and 2% whatever (or whatever the actual numbers are) to know that they can breathe, and live. No science required.
Exactly. This is why I don’t care whether or not you believe what the truth/reality is. It makes no difference, it does not change the facts of the matter.
Oh my cheesus on a cracker. Organisms know? Wow, did you talk with a lot of dogs and flowers? Organisms have no idea what breathing or living is, if they know we have no way to ascertain that. I finish this conversation because you are clearly delusional.
Yes, lungs breathing oxygen do not need to know the chemical makeup of the earth’s atmosphere in order for it to function. Being alive is all the proof necessary.
Nope, that’s not what I’m saying and also I don’t and wouldn’t need to.
See above, you are being deliberately obtuse about the point I made.
“Breathing is a concept”? LMFAO!!! All conspiracy theories aside that has to be one of the most absurd things that I have ever read in my life.
Humans didn’t come up with “breathing”. They observed that some organisms respire and observed mechanisms that explain why organisms respire. However, breathing existed before humans even existed, and all of the intricacies of breathing that we have yet to discover also existed before humans even conceived of the experiments to study them. And of course other organisms know about breathing, as you have some aquatic mammals like whales who are primarily aquatic, but need to “breathe” the atmospheric air from time to time.
Thats like saying that DNA didn’t exist until Watson and Crick published their findings on the structure of DNA.
Yes, people did not come up with the complicated process of moving body muscles, intaking the air from the environment, processing oxygen in a chemical reaction to create energy and I never said otherwise. What I said is that people created the concept of breathing. It’s not my problem that philosophy is alien, nomen omen, concept for you.
I don’t know what that stuff about whales had to do with anything. Just because whales breath doesn’t mean they have any understanding of it. Just like toddlers are still affected by gravity even tho they have no knowledge of it let aloe understanding. Your arguments are nonsensical.
LMFAO!!! You STILL believe “that people created the concept of breathing”. Humans did NOT come up with the concept of breathing. Nature selected for traits and behaviors that eventually resulted in what we understand as breathing today.
Science is literally the process of explaining natural phenomena using empirical and physical data as well as through observations. Just because we observe it doesn’t mean that we created it. We simply put a label on these concepts, but no matter what we call it, or how deeply we understand it, these laws of nature exist, and some animals exploit these laws better than humans.
And what makes you think that toddlers don’t have an understanding of gravity? Toddlers eventually learn how to walk, which by itself necessitates a basic understanding on how gravity and other physics work, such as Newton’s third law of motion.
For some reason, you feel the need to intellectualize everything when virtually every discovery and “concept” that we use is based on an underlining fundamental understanding of the world around us.
You don’t need a PhD to understand the concept of breathing because your body does this instinctually and even then we can modulate our body to control the different forms/types of breathing such as using your diaphragm to breathe effectively. You don’t need a PhD to understand that gravity is a force that prevents you from floating away, and naturally humans work around gravity for locomotion.
With that said, I don’t blame you because academia has a tendency to overly intellectualize simple concepts in order to sound “smart”, when in reality it makes learning and science unapproachable and pretentious. I blame communicators like Neil Degrasse Tyson for fetishizing science to the point of it being pretentious. and departing from the true essence of science, which is to inquire, wonder, and be humble enough to understand that our comprehension of our reality will never come anywhere close to what boundless nature of the universe.
Like I said, don’t bother trying to argue with them about this. Virtually every modern game has hidden algorithms that manipulate “randomized” components under the premise of Engagement Oriented Matchmaking, which prioritizes player retention over skill.
Blizzard already has a patent where they developed an algorithm to better advertise microtransactions by manipulating matchmaking. You don’t think that other randomized components are rigged? Modes like Battlegrounds don’t even try to hide how pseudo-random every aspect of the game is.
With that said, mobile games are the worse as most are flat out rigged, especially the Gacha games.
The problem is that the video gaming industry is virtually unregulated, so there are no systems in place to audit games to make sure that their randomized components work exactly as advertised.
You don’t even know the mechanics of gravity or breathing, so IDK why you even bring up those “concepts”.
The underpinning of these theories existed long before the modern era, yet you seem to think that modern-day scientists “cracked the code”.
Oh, and the term that you are thinking of is “theory”, not “concept”. A theory is the proposed explanation for something that occurs, whereas a concept is more of an abstract understanding of something. Breathing/gravity are not abstract as they are provable and measurable, and therefore are not concepts. However, our current understanding of breathing and gravity are based on models and empirical data, which defines our working theories. However, these theories are constantly evolving and changing even though breathing and gravity are already fixed constants in nature.
