But they don't ask questions. You can teach them sign language to a degree and they WILL use it to communicate, but so far none of them has ever posed a question to their researchers.

New research says birds have grammar and you’re still talking like it’s the 20th century. Get on with the times! Many animals are practically identical to us in capability. We’re just better at some of the stuff we all can do.

Absolutely false. Not even remotely true.

I like skeptics. What is a false positive of a percieved threat but imagination. A halusination to help the animial fill in the gaps to counter a threat. Trauma is also imagination when you go into panic mode aka fight or flight. Humans are animals there is no proof there is a god and we are destroying the planet. I think we need to stop hyping up animals and start down grading humans aka also animals. It is like if you take yourself too seriously you might kill yourself. I think humanity takes themselves too seriously thats why they are killing themselves. Your dreamz....your goalz.... your ambition.... Goose stepping themselves into oblivion. I just want to take it all down a peg and show that relative there hasn't been much human progress. Like i am not impressed. whoopty frickin doo... so we are killing beautiful creatures for lumber to make paper so we can wipe our arse.
