  • “Begging the question” is a logical fallacy wherein “the speaker assumes some premise that has not been demonstrated to be true.”. However, “begs the question” is used more as where something creates a question.

    So by the original “because the earth is flat the planet is not rotating.” You assume the earth is flat to justify your point of no rotation. Whereas the common usage “the flat earth theory and other science conspiracies beg the question of why people don’t drop dead by forgetting to breathe.” Flat earth theory created questions about human intelligence.



  • There are a lot of physical things I miss from being young, eyesight, faster recovery from injury and illness, etc. I didn’t have money, I had unmanaged depression, I lacked a lot of self esteem. However, I had more friends(or at least acquaintances), more hope in people, much better physical fitness, and in hindsight a lot of my worries weren’t that serious.

  • You should emphasize the 4-legged more than animal. Also they’re 270-570lb and ~58.8% of their body weight is skeletal muscle, highest percentage of any mammal.

    People like to ignore that humans are animals too often. And honestly not great at anything if we don’t have tools. Even persistence hunting requires at least water and a spear.
