We're all mammals, so that's less surprising. But octopi having dreams would imply convergent evolution, I think. It seems they may have evolved higher intelligence convergently - which isn't too crazy given the obvious utili

They probably could block yt-dl (or at least create an annoying cat-and-mouse game for them) if they really wanted to. They probably just don't care enough, or figure there are enough positive benefits to allowing it. Some people (incl

I'm not endorsing Sontag's quote at all. I disagree with her and think it's wrong and immoral to exhibit bigotry towards any race or to cast any sort of group judgment like that in general. Plus if any other race had been in

Of course it shouldn't be neutral on genocide, but it could simply refuse to have/give an opinion on certain contentious issues (like what tax rates should be or if there should be more or less immigration). I don't think it
