I wonder if that guy did shrooms.
even Ancient Egyptians enjoyed some psychedelic lotus, so it's pretty likely. Psychedelic drugs have been a staple of human fucking around since forever
Unfortunately I could still read this, needs more jpeg.
I try to tell folks all the time that biology is not as simplistic as they think. It's basically an endeavor of humans trying to make simplistic categories out of a naturally complicated clusterfuck. Some things defy labels, not everything fits into a nice, easy little box. Life is complicated. Get over it.

I was going to say ‘how about bony fish?’, but then I checked and I am technically a bony fish (Osteichthyes).
Regarding "fish" Old classification relied on "phenotype" characteristics. And yes lamprey, a shark or a cod has little in common genetically. But they still share some common traits that distinguishes them considerably from whales, sea lions and seals. I still think the term "fish" is useful, and modern classifications rely more on genetics so I would say that the argument is semi void.
They didn't say that fish wasn't a useful concept, they said that the more you delve into the facts, the less certain you can be that it has a definite meaning that can be pinned down scientifically.
People think the science agrees with them that the world can be divided into fish and not fish, but that's absolutely not what the science is saying, and their understanding is superficial.
Similarly, the terms male and female are generally quite useful, but the people who think that there's some kind of scientific and absolute binary distinction between them are just incorrect, and their understanding is superficial.
I mean there are lots of differences between male and female.
In the same way, there are lots of differences between fish and non fish.
Transphobes 🤯 after reading this
Not even close to a transphobe and my mind is still blown at the fact of the nonexistence of fish.
Whales are fish, fite me
The only land animals that aren't fish are animals with exoskeletons. Whales are fish just as much as you and me are. And we are fish :)
Thank you for agreeing with me, but I specifically asked for a fight
You'll never get that from me!
Gruahahahhaaaaa!
Best I can do is fish.
One man opinion about fish is not a universal truth.
