  • Or just that it needs to focus on from of itself like filter crabs, or that it needs to see through things like kelp forests or hole enterances.

    Given it’s size and the extreme binocular vision, it’s unlikely to have any ambush predators.

    I looked it up, it has bony plates all over it’s body and likely a lateral line, so seeing predators directly may have been less necessary. It was also a suction feeder, so likely an active predator of much smaller things. It may have needed good forward vision because it’s maneuverability was poor.


  • Ironically, Stockholm syndrome is named after an event where hostages in a bank robbery were treated with contempt from the police and government. They spent six days having the police point guns at them and the prime minister telling them to be content with dying. The robbers treated them rather well, especially in comparison to the authorities.

    Capitalism makes for a much worse captor. I think it has more in common with a cult, constantly spinning a narrative of how it makes your life better and without it you’ll live a wretched life. How people outside of it are evil savages, and how they’re coming for your peace and quiet. How life under capitalism is the best you can do, even if it isn’t perfect.
