I really found that read interesting and also quite moving. Elephants are mysterious and noble animals, and it's very philosophically fulfilling to ponder about their mind and the deep chasm that separates it from ours. I sometimes have the idea that our notions of animal rights and the respect they deserve will soon undergo some rapid and deep evolution, in parts fueled by science and technology (AI for instance, which will necessarily transform our view of the mind, and its essence). I've also been quite influenced in that respect by the recent read of Yuval Harari's books (Sapiens and Homo Deus), in which he beautifully discusses the mind of animals and its implication for us.
