You can't do a lab experiment in quite the same way. You have to ask it in different kinds of ways. You have to say, if this is really designed for what I'm claiming it's designed for, let's say, you know, if the pruney fingers are designed to be rain treads, well, then here's, let's derive what the optimal morphology would be. What should the wrinkles actually look like?

What should the wrinkles actually look like?

So that's one kind of prediction, looking at the morphology of the shape. Another might be if it's really the case that it's for design, well, it should only occur in animals that, you know, have wet, dewy conditions. Whereas certain kinds of animals that are never in wet, dewy conditions shouldn't have this, you know, this morphological feature shouldn't appear.

There's different kinds of predictions you can make, but they're often phylogenetic predictions, morphological predictions. Sometimes you can do behavioral, do they actually behave, perform better in wet conditions when they're wrinkly versus when they're not wrinkly and all the kind of combinations of these things. You can't typically do the mechanism kinds of experiments.

It's just a whole different kind of thing. So you have to do it differently. But the strange, weird thing in incredibly far-left communities as they are is that they somehow have thrown Darwin out entirely, and you can't talk about natural selection, which was an incredibly bizarre thing.

I mean, I, I, my pet assumption has been that, uh, their, um, hair stands on end or they get the, you know, if they feel backed up against the wall, when you get to human behavior, uh, this, you know, Steven Pinker and blank slate arguing this as well. Um,

The idea that there's any notion of instinct or a human nature is against something – they really want to push back on that because they want to think of us as infinitely malleable and subject to socialism and whatever policies that they have. They can shape us however they wish. And so even when we're in things like pruning fingers, it's as if they've taken –

that kind of prohibition of human psychology and push it into any realm at all and have a general admonition not to do any kind of design or research that concerns the design of animals themselves. So I'm not sure what else it could be, but at any rate, it's a bizarre thing because the only way that- Well, there's something else too there.
