WTF unbiased observation is a myth

[Ledboots]

I believe Google Voice typing is adding a southern bias to their software. A minute ago I said sat down but it put set down which is very Southern. I'm not Southern!

How sweet, y'all must be pickin up a nawth calinuh accent, bless y'alls heart!

 

[Ledboots]

Maybe it will change, who knows hips baba

But then if everything is done for a logical reason, where is creativity, where are the new ideas?

With Nukes luck, he'll pick up just enough accent for the people there to think he's making fun of them.

Until another species can explain what their perception of the universe is, humans are not the central authority they are the only authority

They may just not be explaining it to us.

I'm currently reading a Sci-Fi novel where first Contact between humans and four species of aliens provides zero possibilities of actual communication. In other words, they're so strange to us and we are so strange to them that we can't learn anything via verbal written or sign language to communicate with them. The concept in this book is that the aliens are here to trade and then that's what they do they just trade. They'll go up take a piece of art and then leave one of their artifacts in its place.

I know I wouldn't talk to us until we got our act together. No joke. We can't even figure out how to live in peace with each other much less an entirely new intelligent species. If they're smart enough to get here, they're smart enough to stay away.

 

[Ledboots]

No. Plenty of other lifeforms on this planet alone perciveve the universe much differently than you do.

This!

There's effectively no difference in that and there being no other species that can explain their perception of the universe.

Explain to US, though: the dolphins or crows or octopi may have their own theories. Language barrier tho

Until we can breach the language barrier, the only thing we can do is speculate. You want to talk bias, ascribing enough sentience to animals to assume they can perceive the universe, when we have no direct evidence of that is a pretty big one.

I'm not denying those three animal species are intelligent, but there is an extreme difference in what they've displayed and being able to do what we've discussed here.

Yup. I ascribe a whole lot of sentience and assume they have more than I can understand, only seeing it from a human standpoint.

TLDR.

I have a penis.

Unbiased, critical analysis indicates I have a cock and balls.

Gender is a social construct.
