There's a path that runs between my side of the university campus and
the main food outlets. Mostly the humans using the path and the
birds flying about ignore one another, but there's one magpie that
waits beside the path for anyone coming past carrying food. Once
he's spotted a likely victim, he'll run beside the person for
a hundred metres or more, begging for food. Apparently he likes
fish and chips better than worms.

Goldfish do the same thing. Why do you consider this worth
remarking?
Only because an idiot called Goo insists that no animals are
able to experience anticipation or disappointment.
Are you surprised that organisms anticipate regularities in
their environments?
I'm not. To most people it's easy to understand and makes
perfect sense, but Goo doesn't understand it, doesn't believe
it, and of course can make no sense at all out of it.
Even single cell cyanobacteria anticipate day-to-night
and night-to-day transitions.
Hmmm...light-to-dark etc transitions perhaps, but they could
have no real concept of night and day imo.
What's a concept?
_________________________________________________________
Main Entry: con·cept
Pronunciation: 'kän-"sept
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin conceptum, neuter of conceptus, past participle
of concipere to conceive -- more at CONCEIVE
1 : something conceived in the mind : THOUGHT, NOTION
[...]
synonym see IDEA

Any of the above work for me. Since they don't have a brain,
they can have
no thought, notion, idea, or anything else regarding night and
day. That may not prevent them from being able to anticipate and
respond to things, including light and darkness, but it does
prevent the ability to give any consideration to day and night,
imo.
Do you think that possession of a brain guarantees that the possessor
has a "real concept" of its perceptions and actions?
|
LOL. Good one. I like to point out that grass isn't really green
sometimes, because it's a great example of that, and I haven't
known anyone else to point it out. Green is what things that
appear to be green "are" not, since they reflect away green
light. But my guess is that a brain is necessary in order to have
any real concepts of anything. Maybe not though.
When I responded at first I was incorrectly interpreting
your question as being about an "accurate" concept btw, but
I left it anyway. Now I'm wondering what you mean by "real
concept"...

As banmilk said, it proves at least two Goo...
| Quote: | a. Animals are able to anticipate.
Wrong.
|
No, at least some are. The magpie learned that some people would
feed it, so it approaches people due to the *anticipation* it feels toward
the possibility of getting food from them. Before anything will pursue a
possible opportunity, it must be able to anticipate the hoped for objective.
When it gets it, the positive reinforcement makes its anticipation grow
even stronger.
Now Gooder, here is where you have completely and consistently
failed, and here is where you will fail once again:
If it's not anticipation which causes the bird to give the very clear
impression that it's experiencing anticipation, in this situation which
could very easily cause anticipation--and which most likely would not
even exist if the bird were not experiencing anticipation--then what do
you "think" is causing the bird to act like it's anticipating? Goo???
| Quote: | b. Goobernicus is stupid beyond belief.
There is no one named "goobernicus".
|
That's you: the moron who thinks he's a genius. A simple
Google search confirms it, and maybe it will for years. It would be
cool if in ten years you are still the number one result in a Google
search for Goobernicus, because you are the number one Goober.
Maybe if you can answer the question you can prove your genius.
But when instead you fail miserably as you will and always do, you
will once more reconfirm that you have no clue what you're trying
to discuss, much less are you able to explain it. You indeed deserve
the title of Goobernicus. |

Years ago the squirrels at Stanley Park in Vancouver B.C. would run
over to people in anticipation of being fed.
They would chatter a mean streak at you if you had no peanuts to give
them.
There's a path that runs between my side of the university campus and
the main food outlets. Mostly the humans using the path and the
birds flying about ignore one another, but there's one magpie that
waits beside the path for anyone coming past carrying food. Once
he's spotted a likely victim, he'll run beside the person for
a hundred metres or more, begging for food.
He sure wouldn't do that if he didn't anticipate something to eat.
He has probably even learned to recognise some people who help
him out a lot....probably mostly girls imo.
The anecdotal evidence presented on this thread proves two points:
It doesn't.
As banmilk said,
Ron Prickcheese Hamilton farted. He didn't say anything.
a. Animals are able to anticipate.
Wrong.
No,
Yes. It's wrong.
If hawks could not anticipate
They can't.
If it's not anticipation which causes the bird to give the very clear
impression that it's experiencing anticipation
The bird does NOT give any such impression,
Yes, it very clearly does.
No, Goo. It very clearly does NOT.
Goo Fuckwit. You, because
of your emotional disorder, think you're seeing anticipation in the
bird.
No, it's the other way
No, it is exactly the way I have given: because of
your pro-"ar" emotional disorder, you think you're
seeing anticipation in birds. You are not.
You aren't - you're merely projecting your desires.
What do you "think" causes the bird to act like it's anticipating
It doesn't. It doesn't anticipate, and it doesn't even
act as it it anticipates. You are deluding yourself
into seeing what you want to see. It isn't there.
b. Goobernicus is stupid beyond belief.
There is no one named "goobernicus".
That's
There is no one named "goobernicus".
Animals cannot be disappointed.
???
There is no one named "goobernicus".

Yes. Yes there is. He is Goobernicus Gonad (aka Jon Ball, Rudy Canoza,)

Don't ask him to strain himself by 'thinking'. He can't see any intelligence
in animals, because he has none himself.

It certainly shows off Goo's shallowness, stupidity,
and childlike type of "imagination" that after I began
calling him Goober, the *best* he could do was to
begin calling me Goober. Then after I began to refer to
him as Goo, he started calling me Goo. I don't believe
there's any way Goo could have showed his Goobal
nature and lack of creativity more clearly. What a Gooball. |

A bird begging for food is obviously anticipating getting some
food Goo. If you "think" it's not begging for food because it's
anticipating getting some food, then why do you "think" it's
begging for food? |

No. You *are* the Goober, Fuckwit. "Goober" is a term
of derision aimed and ignorant Southern rednecks.
That's you. |
