  • I mean there were actually two “intelligence” explosions for humans, once as Homo Erectus like 2 million years ago. Then again as Homo Heidelbergensis ~ 700,000 years ago. So way before dogs.

    As in we have evidence of H. Erectus with brains as big or even bigger than ours. And by the time of H. Heidelbergensis our brains stabilised around the size they are today.


  • Dogs 100% were selectively bred to be permanently juvenile as well.

    Dogs have extreme neonatal characteristics. They are basically forever-wolf-puppies.

    Their heads are rounder, eyes bigger, proportions more exaggerated, more playful etc. etc.

    And we actually know the main brain difference between wolves and dogs is that dogs don’t mature basically ever neurologically.

    Wolves are in basically every way smarter than dogs.

    We dumbed down wolves and made them babies forever.

    Our biggest rivals for millennia.

    We are… fucked up.

    Anyways love puppies ❤️




  • Now imagine you have 0 knowledge or understanding of anything.

    You don’t understand there is a thing called vision. You don’t know about dimensions. You don’t understand that objects exist. That things have shapes, colors perhaps. That there are materials.

    You don’t even have eyes per se, or any other sensor. You can’t see.

    You don’t understand what thoughts are. What concepts are, nevertheless any concepts themselves.

    If I showed you a side-plane picture of a car, directly plugged into your brain, do you think you’d recognize “cars” if we suddenly also gave you eyes and legs and told you walk around downtown?

    From the moment you are born you are “trained”. From the moment the first strains of organic molecules closed themselves off from their environment, they’ve been “trained”.









  • My dad has the same issue and my girlfriend also had. I was able to help her, he is a lost cause.

    But honestly it’s really basic. Just don’t yell while sneezing. Sneeze without vocalising at all. Even if it’s “strong”, it won’t be nearly as loud.

    This is just like “muscle memory”. You one day started yelling while sneezing, and it became subconscious.

    If you consciously try to not do it every time you sneeze, that too will become subconscious and “muscle memory”.
