Frank Perdomo’s Reviews > Humanish: What Talking to Your Cat or Naming Your Car Reveals About the Uniquely Human Need to Humanize > Status Update

Halfway through this book 📖 and im still longing to hear 👂 about plants & anthropomorphic behavior. BUT i know this is part of the shortcomings of Science. The author ✍️ clearly points out the bias of most researchers to limit research 🔬 to a window 🪟 that fits grants and academic calendars 📅.

Holy shit! 💩 this book 📕 is good 👍
I am reminded of the quote from 1984:
“And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.”
Nowadays dumb popularity rules AND simultaneously ignorant nazis fawn over cute 🐶 pups; the flame 🔥 of the "blowlamp" is anthropomorphism!
