A. Why do ostriches bury their heads in the sand when faced with impending danger.

Anyone, that is more then 90% of NTs, who don’t have an understanding of the laws of nature, would say ostriches are overcome with fear thus taking the quickest route it conceives as safety the sand. This plus the fact Ostriches are not that intelligent.

That answer does not answer the question why does a high proportion of ostrich develop a believer that does not contribute to its survival. The fact that they are not very intelligent doesn’t mean anything, because all animal inherit behaviour that contribute to its survival.

Ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand, it just appears that way. They are in fact hiding their heads from predators. What we have learned so far is animal do not inherit behaviour that do not contribute to its own survival.

Those rules also apply to humankind. Sometime you might wonder why humankind spend their time committed to various religious acts such as fasting, chanting and meditating when they don’t have any apparent benefit at all. Well just like the preconception that ostriches bury their heads in the sand appear not to be a survival trait, the same that we have a preconception of human behaviour then come to the conclusion it is wring, stupid or time wasting because they are unable to logically analyse the correct answer.

Now answer this; why is it that many people, especially true of aspies who are looking for love, decide that just being themselves is not the best way to find love. Why do so many people inherit behaviour that only when it only serves to work against them.

Actually, ostriches DON'T really bury their heads in the sand. They LOWER their heads over their nests to protect them -- and be ready to BITE predators more quickly. Ostriches will get VERY aggressive if you try to take their eggs.

Extrmely interesting question at the end of that discussion. If I might say. You're more intelligent than me (I sobs! - lol). I wish that I was half as bright as you. My life might be easier if I was.

For the simple reason that ...it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...... Does that sound familiar? Shakespear perhaps? As with Webbies comment above, congrats on asking the right question - what's it like bieng so clever!
