Black people invented Reason

    I feel that by saying "the ability to reason" in the OP (if not by capitalizing "Reason" in the thread title), I made it clear that this is what I was referring to.

    i c no reasonable reason to reason it that way

    Animals could reason before Modern man even showed up.

    Reason...Ravens/squirrels etc have demonstrated their reasoning skills many times by solving complex "problems".

    Lol no, solving puzzles is reasoning not intuition

    "If I do this, that happens, then if I do that, this happens"...that's reasoning.

    "rea·son·ing
    /ˈrēzəniNG,ˈrēzniNG/

    the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.

    "One recent study claims that by four months old, ravens have full-blown cognitive skills and before reaching full maturity they can rival adult great apes. Another, indicates that problem-solving crows perform similarly to children under seven years of age."

    the bird was shown how to get the food out of the plastic box. it then follows what was observed and reenact it.

    saying thats a reasoning skill is like claiming dogs that use the crosswalks to cross busy streets have plato-tier reasoning skills when its just animal instinct to observe and emulate what works and avoid what doesnt.

    claimes.



    a reasonable person would know claims are not equal to proven.

    "They Can Solve Puzzles Because there was no opportunity for the birds to be confronted with a similar problem in the wild, the simplest explanation is that they were able to imagine the possibilities and to perform the appropriate behaviors."

    Everything is a claim...

    You can't PROVE you're not living in a simulation for example but you can CLAIM it.

    any reasonable person who watched it would come to the reasonable conclusion that the bird was coached before hand

    Anyone with any reasoning skill would be aware of countless experiments conducted where there was no coaching...rather than assuming the 1 video I posted is the entirety of evidence

    The raven has more reasoning skills than you do

    I have no need to, it's readily apparent

    Squirrels are also problem solvers, reasoning is required to solve problems...there's countless videos of them solving mazes, and "gauntlets" to get to the "prize"...no coaching of wild animals required...rats too.

    ..and lets not forget dolphins.

    when men fails to reason, they turn to cope as second choice
