I think the saying about fish not being aware of water is nonsense. People are aware that there's air around them, without having to know any science. They can feel the wind, their own breath, etc. Fish have that plus they need to push against water in order to move. A fish that didn't know what water was would be like a land animal that didn't know what the ground was.
Next you'll be telling me seahorses can't talk.
Only stable horses
The unstable ones are mute?
No, Just gibberish
Of course, of course
I'll have you know fish are fucking idiots
I have seen the documentary called Finding Dory and I can confirm this.
Can confirm.
I think you underestimate our past ignorance. It took many decades of science being taught for the general population to "know" that air exists.
I think the general population always knew that there was a transparent substance all around them which had to keep going in and out of their lungs or they would die - the "breath of life" from the Bible. I mean, even an uneducated peasant in ancient times could blow bubbles underwater and see that there was something coming out of his mouth.
I'm not entirely sure if a fish would actually know what water is lmao
The FOOLS fall for little pieces of plastic with metal in them, so there's no way they know what water is
humans jerk off to anime so it's not like we're that much smarter
No, that means we have transcended the petty limitations of biological sexuality. We are like gods.
We are gods amongst fish
Wasn't Davinci one of the first to think about air that way? Welll, maybe aside from some ancient greek philosophers.
