读论文摘录一些有趣的内容
Hoffman et al. (2015)
...Male jewel beetles fly about looking for the glossy, dimpled, and brown wing-casings of females. When males of H. sapiens began tossing out empty beer bottles that were glossy, dimpled, and just the right shade of brown, the male beetles swarmed the bottles and ignored the females, nearly causing the extinction of the species (Gwynne and Rentz 1983).
Males of H. sapiens. How interesting. lmao
...Indeed, if the interface theory of perception is correct, and natural selection has shaped H. sapiens to share a nonveridical interface, then that is precisely why we agree. But that entails nothing about reality. All flies agree: dung tastes great. We might beg to differ.
Ok...?
What can we possibly mean by the veridical taste of a molecule? What objective standard tells us its true taste? Couldn’t taste vary across species? One might hope, for instance that dung tastes different to coprophagic creatures, such as pigs, rodents, and rabbits, than it does to us (Hübner et al. 2013).
