@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social the only reason Octopus do not rule the world is they have such a short life span. We advanced to the questionable state we are in by growing up in families where we learned from elders, have long lives of experiences to learn from, and language so what we learn can be passed along. They have none of that. Something crazy is going on in those several brains of theirs we have no clue. this shit keeps me up at night.
