| 0:56.3 | Oh, um. representatives who are elected as opposed to important. Oh. |
| 0:58.0 | I can give you a really, really simple answer, which is just pure selfishness, just pure selfishness. |
| 1:04.4 | Just there are human beings that wake up in the morning and are like, I want a family. |
| 1:08.9 | And that's it. |
| 1:09.3 | And that's the justification for people bringing children want a family. And that's it. Okay. And that's the justification |
| 1:11.2 | for people bringing children into the world. I'm rejecting your use of the word God because that's, |
| 1:17.2 | that's a loaded word. So let's call it physics. You don't want to call it physics. And I wonder why. |
| 1:22.7 | Well, well, no. I reject your wording of physics. So I guess... You reject each other. Oh my gosh. |
| 1:29.3 | No. So there is, there's several different types of crab which have different behaviors for the males and the females. |
| 1:36.3 | So the females have a little pouch on the underside where they lay all the eggs. |
| 1:39.3 | And when the eggs get to a certain level of maturity, they climb to the top of rock, underwater. And the males do this because it's dangerous, because if you go to the top of rock, you'll get eaten by fish. But the female crabs climb to the top of rock, and then they open up their little pouch, and then they use their arms to flick out the eggs, and the eggs are hatching out, and all of their offspring and larvae goes and spreads all over the sea and becomes plankton, and then finally turns into crabs. And that's like a key part of their offspring and larvae goes and spreads all over the sea and becomes plankton and then |
| 2:02.3 | finally turns into crabs. And that's like a key part of their process. However, there is a |
| 2:06.5 | parasite which is actually a type of barnacle which infects crabs and it hijacks that mechanism. So when |
| 2:11.5 | it gets inside a female, it goes down and it eats her gonads and replaces them with its own |
| 2:16.9 | and then lays its eggs in the |
| 2:18.5 | females pouch and then when she senses that they're at the level of maturity she climbs to the |
| 2:23.6 | top of the rock and then uses her claws to spread out the parasites larvae instead so just totally |
| 2:29.6 | hijacks the whole process however if a barnacle ends up inside a male crab then you'd think no, it's stuck because the male crabs don't do this behavior. They don't have an egg pouch. But what the barnacle does is it goes down and eats the male crab's genitals, so he no longer has testicles or anything. And then changes its hormone level so it grows a pouch, and then changes its brain so that it thinks it's a female, and then it climbs to the top of a rock and does the little female dance and pushes it all out. |
| 2:53.6 | So what I'm saying is the reason why you get trans crabs is because barnacles have eaten their brain. |
