No worries, although I did wonder whether you might have been cussing me in code


I understand that we are all animals, but as humans we have the ability to show restraint amongst other things.

I don't know any 'cussing code' and if I did, I'm not sure that anyone would understand it. T.B.H. , I dropped my glasses case on the keyboard, everything went haywire and the thing 'posted itself' when I had to be 'elsewhere'.

I was referring to 'human nature'.

AFAIK animals act 'mostly' on a 'hormonal instinct' that builds a 'chemical memory' that induces repetitive behavioural patterns. However, some of the 'higher species' are able to 'problem solve' on a 'basic level', this allows them to 'innovate' in situations they've not encountered before, or they've 'witnessed' the 'scenario' with its 'outcome'. This may be because their action may have 'failed' the outcome they anticipated following a previous encounter, or they 'actually witnessed' the 'encounter' during a scenario they were not involved in, or they just 'got lucky', or they actually 'worked it out' (one chimpanzee must have educated other 'chimps' to 'poke a stick' into an 'ant nest' to get 'food').

Whereas we humans have evolved a 'more complex method of communication' (language) that enables us to 'educate' other humans of varying 'scenarios', 'actions' and 'outcomes', but this mode of communication is 'so complex' that it can also lead to 'misinterpretation' due to 'incomplete disclosure', "double'entendre" (double [more than one] meaning) and 'local slang' (regional differentiation).

I don't know 'anything' about Matt Hancock's 'marital relations' at the time that he was 'observed on camera', but he 'was married' and 'human'. How could you 'know' that he was 'actually' (as you imply) 'cheating on his wife'? Please 'tell us' (unfortunately, we only have 'language' to communicate here) and 'keep it simple'!

He did well in getting stars though. I'll have to watch this more often.

Kind regards, Ray Dart (AKA suricat).
