I own two pots of venus flytraps. They're fascinating in my opinion.

This plant lures its preys by discharging an enticing smell which flies and other insects find pleasant. As soon as an insect gets onto the leaves and triggers one of the mini hairs, the leaves instantly snap shut. Then, the digestion can begin. Now that's what I'd call tricky

Those hairs are extra smart. They have to be triggered twice to close. Once is considered a false alarm.

@Leo Gura Yup, I forgot to mention that.

@Leo Gura i know this isnt of the nature of this thread but id really like to give you an idea.

You should have all of the mega threads accessible easily through an area like main discussions or somewhere else. Its a good idea to keep them in the other discussion sections, but just to make it more accessible and such. I still find new threads and its hard to find old ones when they're scattered around different reply times and such.

Petitition to rename this thread to

Nature is a strategic motherfucker.

Scientific reasons behind self-biases:

interesting. 

Leo already elaborated upon cognitive-biases in great length and detail. Especially from the metaphysical perspective.

This video adds some interesting points about the "necessity" of or reasons behind why self-biases exist (it is not all bad). Understanding this definitely helps me to demonize ego / survival / self-bias / etc. less and nature's intelligence more.

Still appreciating this is hard when shit hits the fan. Compassion and Love require so much courage and understanding...
