This stuff is so weird, like maybe endocrine disruptors are poisoning men's brains. It is too out-there just to be *social* degeneration with no chemical assistance.

Shadowy forces deliberately push the Flat Earth to create a "Conspiracy Theorists Are Crazy" narrative, to counter the obvious point that conspiracy theorists often turn out to be right.
We actually have an exact theory of reasoning with incomplete information. It was worked out by T R Cox in 1946 https://www.stats.org.uk/cox-theorems/ https://www.hulver.com/scoop/story/2008/10/20/175328/72
It is disappointing in various ways. It reproduces Bayesian statistics, simply extending them to cases without any notion of repetition or frequency. This reproduces the problems of Bayesian reasoning. You have to fuzz the *basic conjunctions* not just the propositions. But the number of *basic conjunctions* grows exponentially with the number of propositions. There are too many to estimate probabilities, and the computations will bog down.
On the other hand, when you try to approximate the theory to make it practical, you do know in theory what the correct answer is, so you do know what you are trying to do. Epistemology is revealed to be a practical art: trying to find practical approximations to Bayesian inference.
The fun question is to try scoring the prediction made by Richard van der Riet Woolley, the 11th Astronomer Royal. He predicted that man would not go to the moon, justifying his prediction by saying
> It would cost as much as a major war just to put a man on the moon.
Was he right or wrong? He was right about the price, wrong about the Government's willingness to pay.
That bit of background knowledge serves to answer the child's question. You don't keep doing something that you can only barely afford.
I suspect that you are getting down voted by young goats. I'm old and take Allopurinol tablets for gout, and Tamsulosin tables for another old man's problem. Human's *are* fucked up; I'm getting old and it is getting very obvious for me.
Watch out though, if you understand Darwinism correctly, humans are *not* animals, even though we share a common ancestor with chimpanzees around 5 million years ago. He titled his book: *The Origin of Species* for a reason.
To see the issue, contemplate the mouse and the elephant. They have a common ancestor in the origin mammal, a small shrew like creature that emerged about 200 million years ago. Darwin wasn't trying to *explain away* the elephant. He wasn't claiming that an elephant was only a big mouse with funny nose. He realised that the elephant was new and original. And that raised a puzzle: how could new things originate, when every creature had parents not very different from themselves?
How do you get from a 10 gram mouse to a 1000 kg elephant? One key idea is exponential growth. If each generation is 0.1% heavier than the previous generation (compounding), how many generations are needed for the hundred-thousand fold increase? One useful rule of thumb is that 1% interest has a doubling time of 70 years. So for 0.1% the doubling time is about 700 years. Meanwhile 100 times 1000 is roughly seven doublings + ten doublings = 17 doublings. Multiply 700 steps by 17 doublings and you get 11900 generations required. Mouse generations are less than a year. Later, larger animals will have generation times of a few years.
The other big idea that came into prominence in Darwin's day was deep time. Natural selection has many millions of years to play with. Nature can make spectacular changes in 10000 generations, and every million years is long enough to chain together 100 spectacular changes. Obviously Nature isn't that busy and can leave well alone for a hundred thousand years at a stretch.
So a core insight is that due to the way that exponentials work and the super abundance of time, Nature really can produce new and original species. Look around you at the works of man. Love them or hate them, if you are going to believe in evolution as a theory of *origins* (an elephant is original, not just a big mouse with a funny nose) you have to accept that man is something new and different. Not an animal, but an original being that can even leave Earth for a day trip to the Moon.
That is not to say that Natural selection has a good ratchet. With sufficient dysgenics, Man could evolve back into an animal. How many intelligent creatures are there in the galaxy? Just one, on Earth? Maybe. If Man does evolve back into an animal, something rare and precious will be lost, because Man is not an animal, even under Darwinism.

A web search on "Black bear marking blaze" works poorly; most hits are about scent marking. Having a blaze seems to be uncommon. The best photograph that I've found is [this one](https://media.baamboozle.com/uploads/images/87632/1595972307_543227). Often the marking is a V, as though the bear was wearing a black V-neck pull-over with white trim round the V-neck.
The bear in the video has a very distinctive blaze, both in its definition and its rectangular shape.
I think that she is quite quick on the uptake for some-one encountering utterly unfamiliar technology. She asks at the end: is that the volume they had to listen to it? Basically yes. Early, passive, phonographs were very quiet, and the invention of electronic amplifiers transformed the technology.
I remember when Britbongistan was mocked for having a House of Lords with hereditary peers serving for life. One of the strikes against the House of Lords was revulsion against being ruled by doddery old peers who should have died, or at least retired years ago. I was told that democracy would be better.
