I share your jadedness, but humans at least have the potential to do so, a mosquito is several orders of magnitude away from that. I still have hope that humans can change, mosquitos will never change their behavior.
- Podgajski 3y agoHow do you know mosquitoes never change their behavior?
- mstipetic 3y agoLast 50 million years. Maybe it’s a freak Poisson distribution tho and they suddenly grow massive brains in the next year
- 082349872349872 3y agoNot jaded, there are just much better ways to distinguish mosquitos and humans than a test which not only tests an accident, instead of an essence, but uses an accident that puts 100% (<1 million physicists/8b people ~= 0%) of humans on the mosquito side. Some better triage methods: <= 500 g able to fly unaided can navigate by shallow CO2 gradient
- mstipetic 3y agoMan I’m in awe with everything nature produced and think our life is so disconnected from the real world, but there’s tons of other metrics upon which we beat mosquitoes. It’s not like mosquitoes choose to be in equilibrium with nature, reducing any pressures that contain them they’d happily suck the world dry and then die out last
- CyberDildonics 3y agoAre you really trying to argue with a hacker news poster that people are smarter than mosquitos?
