    1. Can I see some evidence for that, please? Like, a peer reviewed study?

    2. Who was the sample of ‘people’?

    3. What is the distinction between different plants? Like, just kitchen fruits and vegetables I’d expect to be much more than 10, unless you group them all in ‘drupes’, ‘fruits’, etc

    4. Even if a random distributed sample of modern English speaking people do recognise more logos than plants, that’s likely because there’s a large advertising industry trying to make it so, whereas plant recognition is learnt in school or home.









  • I am a trans person and disagree with basically everything you’ve said. The only reason I upvoted this post is because censorship is really a problem and you should be allowed to say this stuff even if I vehemently disagree with you - I’m not going to change your mind if you’re banned or censored, or my talking down to you. If this post gets taken down, I don’t mind having a discussion with you via PMs.

    I can understand you fear getting your account banned if you say your opinions, however you should be aware that using inflammatory language like ‘trans agenda’ or ‘transgenderism’ will make people less happy to engage with you in good faith. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be allowed to say that, but rather using more neutral language to discuss your opinions may result in a more productive conversation, as advice. I welcome your reply :)


    1. I am thinking about whether I exist as a conscious being. Therefore there must be an ‘I’ to be thinking that.

    2. I can’t prove that my senses can be trusted with 100% certainty to tell me truth - in fact I can prove the opposite with things like optical illusions. However, when interacting with the world that I only know is real through my senses, basing my behaviour on those same senses that let me know the world exists seems reasonable to me. That’s what I call practical knowledge, rather than true knowledge.
