      How very kind of you to say so, thank you! We're sure there was a Greek philosopher who said that this is one of the five core intellectual skills, but Wikipedia doesn't mention it. Possibly as some form of anti-dancing conspiracy.

    I'd say a velociraptor is a rather obvious choice for a dance parther, small stature and dexterous hands that can open doors means they are very compatible with a human partner in most dances

      Thank you for this learned insight! We shall feed these into the debate as it progresses. It is an important subject, and one that needs time and attention to have the matter explored thoroughly.

    Point of order. Mosasaurus, despite its name, is not actually a dinosaur. Mosasaurus is, in fact, an aquatic reptile, while closely related, is still not a dinosaur.
    But what are actually dinosaurs are birds. We cannot have a debate on dinosauridae and not talk about the avian branch of the family tree! Sure some of them don't look like dinosaurs at all, but consider the fact that bats don't look like rhinoceros, does that make the the bat less of a mammal? No, I say, and therefore a bird is no less of a dinosaur.
    As such I propose that we remove the mosasaurus and replace it with an ostrich. Why not a paradise bird, you might ask? While they are excellent dancers, they are of no use if they get stomped upon by any of the other contestants, was the stomping done with malicious intent? Who can tell? The bird was too small to notice, but an ostrich is not only the right size for a human to dance with, it also have a sophisticated mating dance that is sure to dazzle any onlookers or judges. But most importantly, it can outrun the other ones if a carnivorous misshap should happen, with you on the back.
    And that, grand and learned society, are the points I commend to the house.

      Thank you for your wise insights, your point of order and your proposition! We shall feed this into the Society before the debate is completed.

    3:05 the Word was made before we knew they werent lizrds! And they looked like lizard, back when we first discovered dinosaur skulls! And i Think we discovered the first dinosaur skulls back in the renaissance or the middle ages! (Ok, maybe not the middle ages to be honest! But then again, maybe it was! Both answers Sound wrong i cant, ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!

      First is proposed as Therizinosaurus, albeit the debate is not yet complete.

    I'd say T-rex would be a decent dance partner because they enjoy eating meat, so you could bring them out to dinner therefore forming a connection with them making them a better dance partners, but the last that I heard they weren't hunters, they were scavengers, so there is no fear of them trying to eat you unless you drop dead on the dance floor, in which case youre already dead.
    I also think it would be loads of good fun to climb on it's head while it dances.
    I-red should definitely be number 2, above triceratops but below more comparable-to-human sized upright standing dinosaurs.

      Excellent insights, thank you! We particularly admire the holistic relationship question, which feels under explored to date.

    I would like to make a proposition to add a plesiosaurus as a potential dancing partner; choreographed swimming is just as valid as traditional dancing within the confines of a dance hall. Hell, it's even considered an olympic level sport. The plesiosaurus is of a similar size to a human, has a highly flexible body and a docile nature towards creatures of our size. They prefer smaller fish as prey. Additionally the greater freedom of movement while underwater also allows you to perform more intricate routines despite the differences in your anatomy due to the extra dimension of motion you are allowed. If you set up the dance floor with verticality in mind it would stop being a dance and more of an acrobatics or gymnastics performance.

      The proposition is well noted! We are currently on a break due to funding challenges. We hope to be releasing more meaningless speeches soon.

      Point of order. Plesiosaurus was not a dinosaur. Plesiosaurus was a marine reptile that was closely related to dinosaurs however, was not a dinosaur itself.

      Thank you for this refined intervention! We will consider whether this bars the proposition.

    Good videos my good sir. My pet dinosaur gave it 3 Moo’s out of 5
    4.

      @aristorators  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! You may want to get your dinosaur checked by a specialist. Most dinosaurs can't moo more than twice on the same topic.

    I Think that those “nails” Might be a bit too Long! The could easily break, or they Might acidentally scratch their Dance partners!and i mean acidentally hunting their Dance partners! Very important clarifier IVE just realised! Im no imposant any ill intent on Them after learning they WERE herbivores!0:47

    Ankylosaurus. Due to our diminished dancing skills, we need a Dino with lots of protects so we don't step on their toes! The Raptor & T-Rex would be last, cuz I'm meat.

    • @aristorators
      @aristorators  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you for these considered insights! We shall feed them to the Duchy and ensure that the debate does not close without them being considered.

  • @artichokesinmyears
    @artichokesinmyears 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    did you take into consideration that, due to their size, you can't really dance with them? what about a smaller one like a pterodactyl? small, fast and can act as a designated driver.

    • @aristorators
      @aristorators  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Excellent and considered insights, thank you for sharing! We shall encourage the Rathouse to explore these during the course of the debate.

    • @neinherman9989
      @neinherman9989 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Point of order, a pterodactyl is not a dinosaur, while extinct, it is a reptile and not a dinosaur.

      ​@@neinherman9989According to Oxford Languages, the leading dictionary publisher, the definition of dinosaur is: "a fossil reptile of the Mesozoic era, in many species reaching an enormous size.", so while they aren't of enormous size they are, infact, reptiles.
