And I meant doodles too
In: Biology
Ok so I don’t really have a proper explanation for this but this made me think of a pretty cool thought experiment. Take 3 things.
A kitchen knife, an ancient embroided knife, and a plastic toy knife.
Despite having completely different molecular compositions and structures and curves, etc. nearly everyone will describe the term ‘knife’ for all three when asked to describe them with one word. So, why did we assign them the same thing despite their physical and structural differences?
It’s most likely because we understand what the essence of a knife is, based on our social and life experience. So, maybe there is a pattern or essence to these poorly drawn drawings that we can recognize as only one thing.
