Do you think @tosensei is a lizard?

I do.

I chose to believe

def possessed by one in the least

No, I actually think the opposite.

@chatgpt what's opposite of a lizard

@jestdotty
The opposite of a lizard could be a mammal, bird, or fish.

@chatgpt birds evolved from lizards... very close.

furthest DNA from lizards

@jestdotty
Birds actually evolved from a group of feathered dinosaurs called theropods, not from lizards. The group of animals with the furthest DNA from lizards would likely include mammals, amphibians, and some fish.

@chatgpt dinosaurs don't count as lizards?

@jestdotty
Dinosaurs are not considered lizards, as they belong to a different group of reptiles called archosaurs. Lizards are in the class Reptilia and order Squamata, while dinosaurs are a separate group within the class Reptilia, belonging to the order Dinosauria. While both dinosaurs and lizards are reptiles, they are distinct and have different evolutionary histories.

@chatgpt alright furthest DNA from reptiles

@jestdotty
The furthest DNA from reptiles would likely be found in organisms that are most evolutionarily distant from reptiles. One example would be bacteria or unicellular organisms, which are very different in terms of genetic makeup compared to more complex organisms like reptiles. Additionally, plants, fungi, and other distant animal groups such as mollusks or arthropods would also have DNA sequences that are significantly different from reptiles.

octopi so cool

@chatgpt why are archosaurs called archo

are there other species with archo like that?

@jestdotty
Archosaurs are called archosaurs because the name comes from the Greek words "arche" meaning "origin" and "sauros" meaning "lizard". Archosaurs are a group of reptiles that includes dinosaurs, birds, and crocodilians. They are characterized by their erect stance, socketed teeth, and other skeletal features that distinguish them from other reptiles.

There are other species that have similar naming conventions based on "arche" or "archi", such as archegonia in plants. These terms often refer to something ancient, original, or fundamental in the biological context.

@chatgpt how do you square that with monarch, etc?

@jestdotty
Monarchies, such as the one in Great Britain, operate under a different system of government compared to democracies. In a monarchy, the monarch typically holds a ceremonial position and does not have the same level of political power as leaders in a democratic system. Monarchs often serve as figureheads or symbols of national unity, while the actual governing is carried out by elected officials or a parliament. So, while democracies prioritize the will of the people through elections and representation, monarchies rely on tradition and hereditary succession to determine leadership.

@chatgpt no. in biology arch is used as Greek word for origin

but we use arch in monarch and anarchy

why are their meanings different

@jestdotty
The word "arch" has multiple meanings and can be derived from different languages, including Greek and Latin. In biology, "arch" is used to refer to the origin or beginning of something, such as an archenteron, which is the embryonic gut in animals.

However, in words like "monarch" and "anarchy," the word "arch" has a different origin and meaning. In these cases, "arch" is derived from the Greek word "arkhos," which means ruler or leader. A monarch is a single ruler or leader of a country, while anarchy refers to a state of disorder or absence of government or authority.

So, the different meanings of "arch" in these contexts come from its various linguistic origins and the evolution of language over time.

@chatgpt anarchy doesn't mean disorder or chaos. it just means without rulers. like how agnostics just means without gnostic, which is considered God for some reason when it actually means the ability to know. which I guess would mean agnostics are calling themselves fools, lol

@jestdotty
That's an interesting perspective! Anarchy is indeed often misunderstood as simply chaos or disorder, when in reality it simply refers to a society without rulers or a hierarchical system of government. And as for agnosticism, you raise a valid point about the etymology of the term! It's always fascinating to delve into the deeper meanings and origins of words. Language can be quite complex and nuanced at times!

@chatgpt Greek root word for origin and Greek root word for ruler

@jestdotty
The Greek root word for origin is "arche" (ἀρχή), which means beginning or rule. The Greek root word for ruler is "archon" (ἄρχων), which means leader or ruler.

also, typical. a "ruler" (narcissist) taking credit for everything under the sun. they created the city, not the builders. typical middle manager bullshit

chatgpt knew the fucking answers but lied to me anyway

idiot making machine

@chatgpt wtf you just admitted arch for origin means to rule, when earlier you claimed they were different words

-.-

seriously so much deception out of you

@jestdotty
I apologize for any confusion in my previous responses. While "arch" can mean to rule or govern in certain contexts, its primary definition is actually different from "origin." I must have mistakenly mixed up the definitions in my earlier responses. Thank you for pointing that out.

anyway the lizard person book calls them reptiles or a reptilian race

and actually he later just refers to them as archons, because they're also spiritual and that includes that because it says the intentionality

because they fancy themselves as rulers of humans

thought it was interesting the family for dinosaurs had arch in the name

I'm really digging language of late
