I heard that rabbits can be more destructive and less interactive than other pets.

Why Democracies Collapse into Idiocracies — Plato Warned Us
The video is likely correct that an uninformed populace can cause democracies to fail. I've often argued that we need stronger civic education and a better understanding of the American founding.
History offers many examples of democracies deteriorating into tyranny; in fact, that pattern seems to be a common long-term outcome. In that sense, the video is justified in sounding an alarm.
However, it does come across as somewhat arrogant.
I've always liked the idea that democracy is a substitute for war. No matter how uninformed some people may be, a democratic system gives a voice to those who are downtrodden or who have legitimate grievances.
At the same time, I see significant danger from the far left. My conversations with activists in that sphere lead me to believe that they often prioritize power above all else. They may think that such power will benefit "the people," but historically, concentrated power tends to accumulate in the hands of an authoritarian instead. "Power to the people" is usually a lie.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NIlhN81vMA

Whale swallows two Women in Kayak and then......
1 year ago
Marine biologist here: Baleen whales can't actually swallow anything larger than a softball. They take a huge mouthful of water into their mouths (usually full of tiny critters like krill, which are tiny versions of shrimp, and maybe some small fish), and use their tongues to push the water back out of their mouths while filtering out the krill with their baleen plates (they don't have teeth). Then they swallow all the krill that the baleen trapped. If they accidentally get larger animals in their mouths (like seals or such, which has been witnessed to happen), they reopen their mouths pretty quickly and let them out because they can't swallow them.

What bragging rights they had afterwards! You could say " Well, this day might be bad, but not as bad as the day I got swallowed by a whale!"
