Bill Maher: Maher认为食物会破坏乐趣,进食后人们会变得被动,这与动物进食后睡觉的现象类似。他认为这种行为可能是进化的一部分,但并未深入探讨其背后的原因。他以自身为例,说明食物会影响兴奋感,并将其与性、饮酒和吸毒等活动进行对比,强调食物会使人变得被动。 Richard Dawkins: Dawkins认为许多动物进食后都会睡觉,这可能是进化的一部分。他解释了昼伏夜出的动物对白天和黑夜的适应性不同,睡眠是它们在非活动期的一种保护机制。他认为睡眠时动物最脆弱,但选择在白天或黑夜睡眠取决于生存策略,大多数哺乳动物是夜行动物。他还提到了新西兰的卡卡鸟已经忘记了如何飞行,并解释了其进化和神经系统适应性之间的矛盾,导致其濒临灭绝。他认为人类很可能也是通过腐烂的水果发现了酒精。 Richard Dawkins: Dawkins 进一步阐述了睡眠与动物生存策略的关系,以及昼夜节律对动物行为的影响。他指出,睡眠时动物最脆弱,但选择在白天或黑夜睡眠取决于生存策略。他以新西兰卡卡鸟为例,说明了进化与神经系统适应性之间的矛盾,以及这种矛盾如何导致物种濒临灭绝。他还探讨了人类对酒精的发现,并将其与动物对腐烂水果的摄入联系起来。

Shownotes Transcript

Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins randomly riff on how eating ruins everything fun, how most mammals are nocturnal, the New Zealand bird that’s forgotten how to fly, the trouble with prolonging life, the one bad thing about Bill, the science behind certain diseases, Bill’s sitcom role as the office creep, and why Richard’s part in Religulous was left on the cutting room floor.
