How smart inevitably limits the question by applying a human measure to it.
What I am more interested in, is to know how it is smart, not how much. How does it perceive? How does it connect and process information? How does it interract?
Is there a way to approach this subject besides shape shifting into an octopus?
- asciimo 10y agoIt's like an octopus dismissing humans as inferior because our appendages lack suckers. I don't think humans can ever fully understanding other species. Yet, the more we observe, cut, and process other animals, the more of ourselves we discover. Rats dream and laugh! Crows use tools! Dogs understand fairness! Is it really any surprise that we have so much in common?
