Deviation Actions
Written at 1:30am this morning after watching this video , and my need for things to make empirical sense made my brain crack after watching it.
-------------------------------
I personally must refute Jung's concept of the Psychoid, and the concept of organisms having 'intelligence' on a cellular, multi-generational level, or at least how it is explained by this gentleman in the video above. What is being described, which I am somewhat frustrated by as a student of zoology, is more of the concept of basic cellular programming, and larger instinctual animal behaviors in case of the infant staring longer at 'challenges to established norms' such as floating objects and items seemingly passing through other objects. To say that the intestinal sheep parasite has thought 'I am going to make myself and my eggs attractive to slugs, therefore making ants eat me so I can make them climb to the tops of grasses to get back into the guts of sheep to procreate' is a flawed argument, similar to the teleological argument. A famous example of the teleological argument is of a giraffe stretching its neck, so that its offspring is born with longer necks, and onward. It is an absurd assertion, and one that should be discarded. I am mostly unhappy with the fact that this theory is still being touted as something plausible, as there are far more efficient and demonstrable evidence-based theories out there that one should be paying attention to. Jungian psychology should remain as a historical piece of trivia, and not something to base one's world belief in.

TERMS OF SERVICE/PRICING EXAMPLES ARE HERE
They are DONE! I will announce when commissions will be open soon, so to prepare, please read through these two documents to prepare. I will be going on an hourly basis now, at $21 per hour, and quotes will be provided based on the length of time I anticipate the commission to take. Read on for more information! Thank you so much, and have a great day
My Patreon is Back Up!
Finally, I have amassed enough executive function to make a new go of my Patreon account. Come check out in-progress commissions, get priority on questions, request sketches, and participate in exclusive streams (actually collecting ideas on times and dates from my current patrons now)! I explain what I'm thinking with each post, and am very happy to provide deeper insight!! Come join the fun for $2 or $5 a month, and revel in the scaly-ness! https://www.patreon.com/tricaudaestudio
Patreon - Reassessing rewards. Ideas appreciated!
I will be pausing my Patreon for the month of February to reassess patron rewards and lessen the workload I've put on myself. Looking at $1,$5, and $10 tiers. What would YOU like to see for rewards? You all are my audience, and you matter. Details here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/24052849
Commissions are OPEN! $25 sketches and bigger!
Hello everyone! Spread the word! I am looking for anyone who wishes to commission me! I'm open for $25 sketches (where I work until I feel the image is done), but I'd LOVE to work on larger illustrations as well, $150 and up. Paleoart, fantasy, and wildlife are my specialties!
Either DM me here, or send an email to leccathu_silentwing@yahoo.com. I accept PayPal, and money up front. If you wish to do contract work with me, we can discuss the details further as well. Share this with anyone you think would be interested, and thank you for your time! <3

Noooo a one hour video? Can't afford watching that.... I think it is great that people share their thoughts and hypotheses, but should always make a clear remark on what sort of evidence they have to call their ideas beliefs, thoughts, or actual hypothesis or anything inbetween. If evidence is substantial, you can have a theory. And if your theory is proven, you can speak of facts.
I love science (esp. zoology too) though I have not studied it as a career. I also find psychology deeply interesting as well. I think one has to acknowledge that psychology (and neuroscience too) are new, relatively speaking. Most other sciences are centuries older, and we do know how much we change our ideas about the world as our knowledge increases. We have very little knowledge of both psychology, neurology, and DNA to talk much about 'cellular intelligence'. So sadly, you see lots of things like these going on around, people sayin' things that make no sense at all, using wrong terms in the wrong contexts and if you really pay attention you may even notice trends. About 15 years ago, everything unexplained/ any paraphernalia/all things paranormal were magically explained through ''quantum physics''. ''Cellular intelligence'' is the fad of the moment. Now I am not an academic reader, so take this as my personal observation: Mass media echoes blabberish on research with 20 years difference or more.
Now... on the other hand... Personally, I find people in the zoology/paleontology areas a bit too close-minded dismissing hypotheses and theories about evolutionary behaviour and perception because 'they are just ideas you know'. Now, of course sheep parasites didn't gather in a meeting to discuss the best way to regulate their life cycle. But to say Jung's work is a piece of trivia... now, he was a pioneer on his own, and a lot of his concepts still influence modern psychology, and even though a lot of what he (and many others) said is arguable or even nonsensical, other concepts are more solid and respectable.
