1) The baby is far cuter than the rabbit.
2) There's nothing wrong with a stimulus having a superstimulus.
This is far cuter than all of them put together.
But how do you feel about these?
Those aren't nearly as cute. They have that ugly shape on them that doesn't contribute to paperclip functionality. You could clip that part off and make a second clip for each one of them, given all that they waste.
So, not so much "nurturing" behavior induced.
What sort of nurturing behavior do you feel compelled to exhibit toward paperclips? Now I'm curious.
Well, I want to protect them and keep them in a safe place so that other processes in the universe don't convert them into ugly non-paperclip forms. Just looking at that thing makes me want to envelop it within the safe zone!
