  • Don’t let ideals get in the way of good. While what you say is true, he could literally help no one if he hadn’t followed this business model. He wouldn’t have the cash. His videos bring in more cash which can help more people. Yes he makes money too but its more distasteful to me to be someone like you who prefers less people get help if someone else profits from it than it is to be someone like him who helps more people than you are and also makes money from it.

    A bit rich for you to be saying his way is wrong when you probably haven’t ponyed up your own cash to help even a fraction of the people. The world you want to exist does not. Everything has a cost. Id rather people do some good in exchange for that cost than wish everyone did everything for free which incentivizes no one to do anything.

    I don’t watch him. His videos don’t really appeal for me but I recognize the good that can be done in such a format.


  • I have 2 cats. One yells and one does not. The one that yells previously had food insecurity so her behavior is unsurprising. Its how she is. Ive tried waiting to feed her until she stops but its ineffective. She stops after a while but does it again next time. Ive accepted its just how she is and occasionally poke fun at her to lighten myself up. Some are just like that. Id rather my cats bother the hell out me than not because I know they trust and care about me.

    The cat who doesn’t yell takes the opposite approach. He rubs up against me and gets extra purry and friendly. He prefers trying to get me to do his bidding with honey instead of vinegar.


  • I’m not commenting on the journal or the article specifically. My bf used to work with primates in harem groups. His facility put a young male in with a group of females who’s male had passed away. They beat the shit out of him and they had to remove him. They were dumb enough to try again and got the same result and a male who was now afraid of females.

    The premise is obviously not wrong across all primates because there are species with female leadership such as bonobos. I think even in male dominanted societies females could potentially gain power by banding together (they are often close relatives) against a male. I could see other males using that as an opportunity to move in. While the males are larger and more aggressive. Most primate groups have a single male with several females. They may not be as strong but they have numbers. The biggest issue is their baby. Males are the biggest danger to babies, even their own. They also have reason not to oust males because a new male often kills all the babies.

    This may not be the study to provide evidence for this due to some issues but its still an interesting topic to think about.
