Irrational isn't merely wrong. You can be rational, and still wrong, beucase you didn't have all the necessary information. Irrational is wronger than wrong - it means making a wrong decision despite having adequate information, o

That is a useless definition, since all languages are constantly getting extinct that way.

One of the more interesting grammatical features is evidentiallity, which requires you to indicate how you know what you say, e.g. if you saw it, deduced it, or if it's something you were told. Another is grammatical honorifics, which

Mutual intelligibility is rarely the only reason for calling a different langauge different. E.g the scandinavian langauges are relatively easily mutually intelligible, so is Czech and Slovak, yet they are called different languages mainly

A huge problem in fiction is that it usually greatly overestimates people's ability to understand each other. Characters never make mistakes reading each other (unless it's a part of the plot) When they see something one on anothe

The point is that people never stopped speaking Latin (although in some places like North Africa nad the Balkans they did) There is a clear continuity between Latin and various Romance languages. Some time during the early middle ages, peop

It's interesting, since one would assume that most people here would be at least to some degree aware of Information theory and the necessity of redundancy.

Shorthands may consist not only of the symbols themselves, but also their positions, or the thickness of the line (nib pens allowed that), so it's clear they could be hard to decipher for those who have no idea what to look for. https

Why didn't he start selling, even if it meant selling the prototypes one by one? If people can live by selling choppers, it can work with this as well.

Mitochondrial dysfuction comes primarily from manganese being replaced by iron, from the wrong Fe/Mn ratio (which the body has no way of correcting, as both are absorbed by the same mechanism and iron cannot be excreted.) or a deficien

Are they also the reason why optometrists insist that it's an inborn effect, despite all the research pointing towards an environmental cause?

The eye very much does care what's in front of it. Look up "emmetropization".

They're explosions though, they can't be controlled. And they contain heavy elements as the trigger.

A huge part of the autistic traits comes from the fact that others are too different and won't show up when you are not being ostracized.

There has been selection towards autism and low functioning autism may even be something else. Anyway, large part of it will be because of growing up among "normal" people. Maybe that (low functioning) autistic people would have n

Nuclear fusion won't work, because stars are not powered by fusion. What happens in the stars is that heavier elements capture protons, until they eventually reach lead, where it keeps cycling - lead 206 captures proton, turns into bis

Well, yes, but there is no reason to assume that climate change is the only, or even the primary cause of the decline. It's likely a specific nutrient that is yet unknown and thus its intake is not monitored.

The bicameral mind explains it somewhat bizarrely that the pople actually did hear voices, only that they always attributed them to external sources. But an autistic mind hears no voices, as one consciousness has nothing to tell to itself,

I'm indeed seriously proposing that the majority, the so called " neurotypical people" are in fact psychotic and autistic people are those who remained healthy. Inner speech is never mentioned in ancient literature. The voice
