    Can someone check in on this dude? I mean show him a circle and ask him to draw the time in it.https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1343498930072514561 …

    If lions were discovered weaving antelope-catching nets ten lion-lengths wide, it would be headline news. Yet spiders weave intricate insect-catching nets hugely bigger than themselves, and we treat it as commonplace. What’s the difference?

        what he's saying is super cool; and quite obvious; and uses great imagery to make the point! (Scale, visibility, wonder). Why are people confused here?

        Maybe because he's a biologist who doesn't seem to understand how evolution works. Kind of a self-own from a supposed great thinker.https://twitter.com/StillNotPHarris/status/1343601322998689793?s=20 …

        Didn't SNL's "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" already do this? But if you want an answer, it's because the spider ancestors who didn't produce spider silk died out, while the lions who got along without weaving nets did just fine. It ain't rocket science, Doc.
