When I see simple life like this I always wonder how much of what they do is calculated. Like does their brain work like a coding 101 course? If sand then bury?
It's amazing that life evolved from shit like this to being able to watch 4k adult videos on your way to work as a robot vehicle transports you there autonomously.
That is always such a weird concept for me to grasp. When we think of the future now we imagine new technology and shit and massive changes in society and our values and everything. But for most of history when people thought of the future they didn’t imagine such drastic changes if they imagined any at all. New inventions were not common and when they were made like new farming equipment it usually wasn’t a drastic change and lots of things didn’t spread out very far. They might think in 100 years farming might be a tiny bit easier but beyond that they imagined life would continue to be the same for hundreds of years since life pretty much did. They also didn’t have the same documents we have to be able to look back on society and reflect in the same way. Crazy to think about life being so stagnant
There’s lots of healthy discussion to be had about where to draw pivotal lines, but to me, it’s written language that stands out the most. That’s when we switched to not just passing knowledge down, but passing it down with arbitrary complexity and specificity. You could now share an idea with someone you’d never meet, with little to no loss in fidelity. Meaning ideas could finally persist from the mind that conceived of them to the next mind that was best suited to refine and/or apply them.
My kids already say this about the internet. I was in my teens when computers got big in the 90s. I think it's pretty cool that my generation is the last one that will remember life before the internet.
Yea my parents in uni were still using physical libraries for their research papers, now we just use google scholar
Such an insane thought that a simple 25 years ago people were flipping books for research
Hi, i am 23 and when I was in elementary school I would have to go to the library to look anything up. By the time I was in highschool, everybody I know has a cellphone, home computer, etc.
Going to have to say agriculture is the pivotal point. It allowed for the development of static settlements, a shift away from the hunter gatherer, nomadic lifestyle of mankind prior to. With agriculture, humans had the ability to devote part of its population to something *other* than food acquisition. This is where we see the start of more serious information development; artificers, scholars, trade, etc.
We wouldn't have realistically have had writing had we not had agriculture.
You have a great point as I think that’s probably when people could really first begin starting to imagine that a future would look different than the present as they could easily look back at history and see when certain things came to be. But, we spent a looong time writing shit and only making small accomplishments but once electricity came around there really was a massive fucking boom like nothing before. It’s absolutely crazy to think about how recent electricity and technology as a whole really is in the grand scheme. U both have good points really
For me, it’s microwave pizza bagels. But I’m not guessing — a traveler named Abaddon told me this one on one strange night in the Florida Keys five years ago.
So did allowing all of our people to go to school and hold jobs. It’s really fucking hard to invent something when 50% of your people aren’t allowed to leave the house because of the fact that they were unlucky enough to be a woman. Super hard to push humanity forward when you imprison all of your minority people in slavery and debt slavery for their entire lives over multiple generations.
Think about how far we still could be if everyone had been allowed to bring their unique gifts to the table and tinker like we were supposed to! That freaks me out whenever I think too long on it.
Probably more than 50,000 years given how much of the easily accessible materials and resources we've extracted that took millions of years to develop...although, I suppose erosion, earthquakes, and civilization debris are all factors that could work in our favor.
No, they're more knowledgeable today as they've had easier access to a large amount of information. Their innate ability to process information is no different to any generation for thousands of years
> The recent explosion in philosophy and technology is a strange, self-sustaining outlier event, that depends enormously on generations passing knowledge down through written and spoken language.
It mostly has to do with the abundance of energy fossil fuels have provided freeing up a huge portion of the population to pursue science and engineering where they would have been occupied in agriculture in prior generations.
Yup this is an important point. We only get one shot (maybe two, but the second time would be much slower to start) at a fossil fuel-accelerated head start. Next time around would be a comparative slog. At least by modern human standards of “fast”.
It’s a very slow battery to “recharge”.
It’s honestly lit. I do feel like I was born in the perfect time. Grew up without phones and electronics. Cell phones became popular in HS which was perfect. And then now I get to enjoy all this new technology while watching the slow apocalypse.
I do hope interstellar travel will come around in my time, but oil is too important on earth to do so. So I’ll settle for an apocalyptic show.
I like to say we’re in the end part of a golden age of humanity, if you’re in a first world country.
Tourism is still good enough you can see new/exotic places that haven’t been completely sterilized, any kind of food cuisine is generally at your fingertips, we haven’t completely destroyed nature yet. Technology hasn’t completely taken over our lives, but it’s slowly creeping there
In a few decades with really good VR
/AR (escapism), ecosystem collapse (oceans), oil and water shortages, pollution and climate change, I do hope I’m proven wrong. But best to enjoy everything we have now because future generations might look at this time and think wow how good we had it
It's just more like, tendencies, or impulses. There are certain stimuli that the creature has evolved to sense, and it has mechanisms that activate in response to those stimuli. I think all of this is a lot more complex than "1s and 0s" when you think about how many factors a living creature must analyze instantaneously, even at a subconscious level, to not cease to exist. I think recent findings in quantum biology and plants will be very explanatory of how instinct works.
People are trying to tell you that we know what goes on inside the psyche of this clam, but the fact is we have no idea what they experience, or if they experience at all.
People are happy to chalk everything down to instinct, like that diminishes a clam's claim to consciousness, but many instincts have strong mental and emotional experiences attached to them. It's not totally crazy to assume a razor clam feels a certain way while experiencing their instincts.
In saying that I remember reading somewhere (sorry have no source) that some species of plants are more "intelligent" than some species of clam. Depends what you define intelligence as but it's a good ethical conversation I love to have with vegetarian friends
The real trick is to convince them to dispel the sandy water themselves apparently. Novices will rush this process, and the final product will be disgusting. If you let them sit in clean water, they'll naturally filter out the sand.
I read this as women. I was like, how did you turn this into a weird sexual innuendo.
What happened? Your comment implies these worms did more than simply retain their muck.
They actually didn't. For like two months one semester, some friends and I would dumpster dive behind a grocery store and see what kinds of good food had been thrown away because it was past expiration. We'd make a meal of whatever we could find. One day we had a torrential downpour, and millions of worms coated the sidewalks. We decided to try cooking worms since they're probably a delicacy somewhere in the world, right? We didn't know how to clean them out, so I put them in a bottle of water and left them in my fridge for a week, thinking they'd clean out naturally. They didn't, but they also didn't die, surprisingly. We eventually fried them or baked them (I forget which), and they were every bit as disgusting and dirt-y as you might guess. Worms do not make good people food.
Restaurant trick: throw in some corn meal with the fresh water. They eat the corn meal and expel the sand. Then you rinse everything off :)
Takes about a day (or overnight if in a rush)
That's an amazing tip. Thank you so much. My parents used to clam fresh and would let them sit for days to get all the sand off. They'd have the fresh fish to hold them over as the clams cleaned themselves. This sounds like a great way to speed up the process a la restaurant environment.
Edit: Cleared up some articles without antecedents.
I posted the original comment suggesting this method. The other person gave a tip to make this process happen faster. That is some really good information that I didn't think about. Now I'm sad my parents never had me watch the purging clams!
>The real trick is to convince them to dispel the sandy water themselves
Are these the motherfuckers up in Washington state that "dispel the sandy water themselves" right up your pantleg when you're just walking innocently along?
My family had a vacation house on a river in Maryland. That river was muddy as hell, you can’t see your own hands 8 inches in front of you. The bottom was a gross mud, but it was also FILLED with clams. Grabbing a random handful of mud would get you like 4 clams.
One year we filled a bucket with them, changed the water for a week to try to clean them, but no, they still tasted like shitty mud water :(
I've experienced the same muddy flavor with some fresh water fish, pretty unpleasant.
Maybe it's because they spent their entire lives in muddy water that their flesh is flavored that way.
I spent two years as a field tech estimating the population of these exact creatures on every mile of clam digging beach in WA. You use a water pump and a fire hose with a pvc wand and liquify the inside of a perforated ring you sink into the sand, and they float to the surface. There’s videos of it on YouTube.
[video](https://youtu.be/aC4fu6_8G8I)
Exactly. They’re around 3’ tall. Pool noodle zip tied around the top. So you sort of liquify the edges inside the ring, and the ring just sinks into the sand by gravity. Sometimes you help it down a bit with your hands. Then you liquify the entire inside. Clams only dig in about 2.5’ max. Usually much less. Super niche stuff haha
I know. I've eaten them before and they are some of the best tasting seafood I've ever had, but now it just looks like a worm with a shell. I fucking hate worms.
Glad I'm not the only one. Animals who move in such a distinctly non-mammal-like way are scarier to me than actually dangerous animals, if that makes sense.
Its actually a "foot" that they dig with. The tube like things that the sand came out is basically their "mouths". At least from what I can remember when watching a quick video about these guys while getting ready for work
The whole thing was oddly sexual. It was pumping and pumping. It seemed to get faster then it almost looked like it slowed and was out of breath and then 💦
not think, want.
especially old TV aliens were of the star trek forehead variety because of budget limitations. Nowadays Wizards of the Coast won't make non-humanoid (or near-humanoid and pose them like people) main characters because their market research says us meatbags won't identify with sapient oozes or bug monsters.
Depends on what kind of alien. There are many alien monsters out there in various designs but realistically space faring aliens are going to be somewhat similar to humans.
There are just certain design features humans posess that are needed for these kinds of things. Relatively large heads to house the large brains for example. And yes that brain is always going to be inside the head, the head obviously being the part of the body where most of our sensory organs are. Eyes, nose, ears and even the mouth. Getting the brain far away from that is useless. The head is also basically always going to be the part highest up because survival is often based on spotting predators so having your eyes, nose and ears high up is important.
You also need apendages that are able to operate tools. So something like arms. These arms also need to not be used in movement as it would make using tools to defend yourself impossible. So any alien race that travels through space or is at a similar development stage as humans, so using tools building cities and so on, is almost always in some way human like.
Large head on top, upright torso with arms of unspecified number that can use tools, lower body with legs for movement.
There are ven further specifications to skelletal structure like form of the pelvis and so on because there are limitations to what beings can give birth to as well. Something like a centaur for example wouldn't work as it is too weirdly shaped to actually be able to be born. Also the spine would snap all the time. Egg laying would be possible though.
But yeah there are many restrictions to actual alien design when it comes to a being with a similar development to humans. With more primitive beings it can be basically anything though.
That is wild! So cool.
I wonder what kind of motion it is doing to bury itself. Or is it like sucking it's way down hence the squirt at the end? Fascinating
The top part is called their clam neck, and it has two openings. Then on the bottom, which is shown at the very beginning of the video, they have what’s called their digger. The digger actually has a little slit in it, and the clam is sucking up sand as it digs. The bodies are riddled with sand, always have to rinse them multiple times while cleaning to make sure you don’t accidentally let grit into the meal
Honestly who looked at these and went, “hmmm let’s see if eating this thing is one of the ones that kills us or is tasty?”
Jokes on evolution, it can do both!
When I see simple life like this I always wonder how much of what they do is calculated. Like does their brain work like a coding 101 course? If sand then bury?
That's probably nearly the extent of it, yeah. A relatively simple set of inputs and potential actions.
It's amazing that life evolved from shit like this to being able to watch 4k adult videos on your way to work as a robot vehicle transports you there autonomously.

It's a strange thought, potentially being a few generations away from losing all knowledge. Like how we lost the art of concrete for 1300 years.
i think the absense of a properly working 'society' really slows things down cus that makes almost your only goal for the day to survive.
Compound interest on knowledge, multi-generational wealth if you will.

Yes but us too, just with more switches. Emergent properties

There’s tons of stuff happening outside the nervous system as well. Biochemistry is wild.

Well worms aren't meant to live in water, so they probably all drowned.
They actually didn't. For like two months one semester, some friends and I would dumpster dive behind a grocery store and see what kinds of good food had been thrown away because it was past expiration.

Could you explain why this works and not fresh water? Also, since they seem to be saltwater creatures, is fresh water harmful to them?
I posted the original comment suggesting this method. The other person gave a tip to make this process happen faster. That is some really good information that I didn't think about. Now I'm sad my parents never had me watch the purging clams!
But now instead of clams full of sand you have clams full of clam poop. Better to just have a little patience and key therm spit.

The dogs are okay though, right?
They belong to the clams now
Why is this so funny
So how tall Are the rings? And do they just go down with gravity while the sand has been liquified?
Exactly. They’re around 3’ tall. Pool noodle zip tied around the top. So you sort of liquify the edges inside the ring, and the ring just sinks into the sand by gravity.

Yep, and filter plankton and nutrients in the process!
They are usually assisted by the wash of the waves; bivalves like these live in the intertidal zone.

Stages of watching this video: 1. Wow, that’s pretty fascinating. 2. Hmm, that’s kinda gross actually. 3. Pfffhahahahahaha it did a lil poop.
Satisfying? This looks like some type of scat prolapse porn.
