Description: Zašto su bebe simpatične? Zašto je kolač sladak? Filozof Den Denet nudi odgovore koje ne biste očekivali, i objašnjava kontraintuitivno, evolutivno shvatanje pojmova simpatično, slatko i seksi (i uz to i teoriju Metjua Harlija koja objašnjava zašto su šale smešne).

Den Denet (Dan Dennett): Simpatično, seksi, slatko, zabavno

Our love for chocolate cake, adorable babies, and even jokes is shaped by natural selection, not by any intrinsic property of these things. Honey is sweet because our brains evolved to crave high-energy foods, not because sweetness exists independently. A study found that mothers prefer the smell of their own babies’ diapers, a vivid example of nature’s deep customization. This so-called 'strange inversion' shows that our likes and attractions come first—what we call sweet, cute, or funny follows from how we are wired.
