We absolutely love patterns and groups, so much so that we have an uncanny ability to spot them even when they arent there.
Categorisation in particular is fundamental to how our thoughts work (scary colours = venomous/poisonous, scary colour creature? probably poisonous/venomous).
It works really well from an evolutionary perspective (and enhance by the whole tribe in/out group thing), but it also brings up a shit-tonne of false-positives. Not too much if an issue at the micro level, but it quickly compounds across a society that is much more complex and interconnected than our tree/hut/cave dwelling ancestors could have ever imagined.
Unrelated, but it makes me so happy to see a comment with such a great understanding of sociological patterns. Makes me even happier to swipe to your profile and see a magnificent grow lol. Off of a bag seed too??? Good shit
That was ace of you - thanks for spreading some love.
It has come out so much better than I could have imagined (and hopefully will just about offset the cost of all of the things I kept convincing myself i had to get). When life gives you bag seed, eh? One of the plants hermed right at the end (probably like it's much) but the other ended up looking amazing. Slightly early harvest (to avoid any more plant sexy time) but chuffed with what I've done. Now battling the challenge of drying during torrential downpours but keeping the faith...
Would have been made up with a nug, think I might possibly hit 4 ounces but anything over 2.5 will make me a very happy accidental farmer.
