  • There’s also that team that built a mobile fish tank that the fish controlled, which proved that fish could learn and retain a task.

    They taught the using food rewards, then the fish were allowed to just wander around places (although, they had to be supervised incase the drove in risky ways).

    The study also showed that some fish (within the same species) were smarter or at least, better at the training than others.







  • I don’t get where do the “regular” balloon danglers come from… Do they just choose to go up with a balloon?

    The balloons are stories right? Like it’s a visual metaphor… But then does that mean people are only reading one story per person in the entire world?

    How did people end up in the bog? Did they just let go of a story they didn’t like? So are the danglers are people writing stories rather than reading them, and the danglers are the authors?

    That makes sense… A comic book author writing about an aggrandised version of themselves. That checks out from my experience hanging out with authors… But they don’t give away or latch on to each others stories that I’ve seen, that doesn’t seem common.

    Where do the danglers come from again? Because the guy constructing the balloon wasn’t dangling from it… Are the green people minions in some reading dimension?

    I don’t think I really get the metaphor. Maybe it’s just not supposed to be examined. Lots of fiction collapses under examination.

    This is a classier version of how lobotomy started as a procedure… It was pioneered by a scam artist who wanted to be a doctor, and his employee who was a vet. A large amount of his practice was honed being hired to make asylum patients quiet and more docile. Gruesome stuff… And being untrained he was completely unsanitary about it.
