I find this rather presumptuous. Whales are highly intelligent animals. To allege that they can't be lonely erodes author's credibility.
- cgriswald 8y agoI'm not even sure what the author means. The experience of loneliness I have isn't some artificial construct created by other humans, even if my loneliness is due a lack of interaction with other humans. And lots of social animals can experience loneliness.
