This was a mistake on VA's part because humans are on the low end of built-in information. Baby humans can do very little compared to other species.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 10:42 am Here is an example, which hopefully you can grasp it.
When a baby is born how it is that it is able to direct its attention to the mother nipple even before it perceived, know and describe it.
It is the same with many other animals which are born so small, e.g. the joey [kangaroo] which climbed to its mother's pouch where is nipple is, without perceiving, knowing or being informed by description of those facts you claimed pre-exists.
In this case, the organisms or humans are pre-entangled with whatever the reality [relative not absolute].
One hour after birth a foal can walk. After a couple of hours it can run.
With human babies 8 to 18 months.
Are human babies less entangled?
He's mixing categories and assuming tabula rasa.
In fact animals in general how many more innate behaviors than humans.
Our strength is in our plasticity. We can learn more than other animals, but our babies take much more time to learn things that animals can do from birth and are learning more things and more types of things at the same time.
Then you have to wonder why the babies always seem to cocreate nipples in the same places on their mother's. Why not cocreate some other type of source of milk? And joeys crawl up, cause that's where the nipples are.Whatever the subsequent reality to an organism, it is conditioned by a a priori conditions and nurturing factors. In this case, the organism is in a way a co-creator of its reality.
There is no absolute, fixed or standard reality that is awaiting an organism to discover.
And foals all adapt to the contours of the field that we could photograph before the birth. They don't run uphill where it's downhill.
It's only recently VA has included animals in his cocreation/entanglement model. Earlier it was just humans. Then he realized there were problems with that and started talking about LUCU, the first common ancestor. Then organisms in the primordial soup.
Still not sure how those first organisms created not only the nutritious soup they were in, but the planet and sun. I get it. There was some quantum foam out of which the first organisms cocreated everything they needed. But for some reason they also created threats. And later they created predators. For some reason they created aging. And magma that poured into one side of pool and killed them.
As far as I can tell mothers had nipples before the babies were born.
But those first organisms created the solar system ex nihilo.
