@draconic_script: Some of the best minds just casually drop absolute philosophical bombs. Hearing the Stephen Jay Gould quote about the non-existence of fish perfectly captures that beautiful scientific humility—the admission of how much more there is to learn. It makes you question everything—like, does a cave even count until a human actually *discovers* it? Essential listening for anyone who loves complexity and the edge of knowledge. #ScienceIsWeird #StephenJayGould #MindBlown #Philosophy #Discovery

I think that people who prefer to say there's no such thing as fish rather than include tetrapods as fish are just suffering of very rigid thinking

Bruh “it’s not a cave til a person gets in there” is not getting enough attention

There’s so such thing as vegetables, fruits are a real thing, vegetables are just “other plant stuff we eat”

anthropologist here. there's no such thing as species. there's not distinct and clean lines between most closely related species. we're all earthlings. that's all we can say. and even that's not certain universally, btw.

"fish" is just a classification for aquatic animals with gills, to be honest. its a wastebasket term. like we all agree on what a fish is, loosely, but like. some fish are more closely related to humans than they are the fish in the same body of water they live in.

Had a biological anthropology professor start her class with a lecture on why species aren’t real and that will stick with me forever

for clarity, no such thing as a fish means the word is too vague to be scientific, like the word beast or critter or bug.

Taxonomically, there's no such thing as trees. as in while we have groupings of certain organisms such as canines, or families like onions, dozens of families of plants have independently come up with "tall central columns"+"diverging limbs and leaves" as a solution .

Richard Feynman talked about this when asked to explain quantum mechanics. Something along the lines of “listen, I could give you a metaphor about rubber bands or whatever to help you conceptualize it but if you’re not an expert you really can’t grasp what I’m talking about.”

I have an inside joke with my best friend where we plan to get me a bumper sticker that says “I don’t believe in Jesus OR fish.”

Ace Stillwell :
my favorite is when field scientists fudge their reports to sound more scientific when something unexpected happened. There was a post about frog researchers doing this. They had a long-winded explanation on how their key specimen removed itself from their observations, but in reality it was dark and they dropped the frog, and couldn't find it
