Betty Fowler said:Look, I won't ignore it. But before I dive into this debate, I’d like to ask you to clarify a few things, since you clearly have a deep understanding of evolutionary psychology. For instance, we know babies instinctively suck when they feel touch near their mouths, and they cry when they're hungry—both instincts obviously increase their chances of survival. So, here’s the question: what practical benefit does an infant, who hasn't even developed sexual or romantic instincts, gain from focusing on the proportional mandible and maxilla of an adult? I’m sure you have a rational explanation for that. Furthermore, on what basis do you assign value to where a child directs their attention? If we put an orange piece of paper and a yellow piece of paper in front of a child, and the child focuses on the yellow one—what does an intellectual of your caliber conclude from that? Once you provide a satisfying answer to that, I promise I have one final question. Truly, the last one. In this clip, a child instinctively reaches for a stick, claiming it's longer, even though they just saw both sticks were identical in length. Do you agree with the child's intuition?
I look forward to your reasoning; I know you're well-prepared for this discussion.
