      @elenil.5907 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@EmceeWhitey Most of the literature and subsequent papers in PubMed are refuting the initial experiment by finding biases in in sampling, failure in controls and inflation on results. Furthermore, many studies failed to replicate the original one. Others also attribute it to simple mathematics, meaning that ,eventually, cycles WILL synchronize at some point because of their duration. This doesn't mean that there is a pherormone responsible for this.

    how we use empathy and our use of language make us 'unique' in the animal kingdom we use empathy and language to help market 'Bambi' movies. your dog would wonder why you're crying when Bambi's mother dies in the forest fire, your dog would think ''barkity bark bark, it's just ink on celulloid, there is no Bambi'

    His reference to the Indonesian killings is wrong. He makes it seem as if it was just for the sake of killing when in fact the purpose behind it was anti-communism. He would know since his father was a vidicm of mccarthyism.

    • @savnet_sinn
      @savnet_sinn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      He made no reference to the cause of the killings beyond the general chaos following the 1960s coup attempt - you completely made that up. If that wasn't bad enough, you failed to recognize that he's simply relating a narrative that was originally written by VS Naipaul. And even if you weren't totally wrong and he *had* misrepresented an ideological conflict, it still has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the core of the anecdote, which was the use of gamelan to provide a soundtrack to 'elevate' brutality to some grotesque art form.

      @@savnet_sinn You're right, he didn't. But he used the same superficial argument that all anti-communist do.
