I had to look it up. If you search Lamarck you find the guy, but the wikipedia page is massive. But searching ‘Lamarck theory’ brings up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamarckism . TL;DR: inheritance of acquired characteristics.

What happens when the giraffes get over 500m tall?

If it’s a cube, I’d have questions before they got to 8m.
If it’s 1m², but 500m tall, I’d have … different questions.

Reminds me of Biotopia! Such a great and hilarious radionovela!! (But only if you understand Spanish)
damn shame i don’t speak spanish… what’s it about?

It’s a fictional news bulletin that is supposedly only for this small community of mad scientists all living together. And since they all have their over the top projects, it never gets boring. Like, you have the abogato (a cat that is also a lawyer), someone clones themselves way too many times, an artificial intelligence that is making a radio drama about this community but is digging up too many secrets. And hundreds of other funny stories.

Since this is for the benefit of non Spanish speakers, I feel the need to point out that the word “abogato” is a portmanteau of “abogado” (lawyer) and “gato” (cat).

Haha yes, I wasn’t sure how much into detail I should go into. And it has been some years so I didn’t remember his origin story that well. I guess it was based on Schroedinger’s cat, right? Time to listen to it again!
