Logical Inconsistency Under The Sea

The perfect illustration of cognitive dissonance in action! Patrick happily accepts gradual transitions for seasons and human maturity, but suddenly can't handle the same concept for evolution.

The meme brilliantly skewers the "missing link" argument against evolution - a classic case of selective reasoning. Sure, we don't wake up one day as adults after being children the previous day, but that's fine. Seasons blend into each other gradually? No problem! But suggest that species evolve gradually over time without clear-cut boundaries between them? Suddenly that's unacceptable!

It's like demanding to know the exact moment when a pile of sand stops being a pile if you remove one grain at a time. The title reference to the Sorites Paradox is spot on - our brains love discrete categories even when nature operates in continuous spectrums.
