Well, you say, "we" are the pinnacle, I think not

Interesting title to the video below.  

There is an arrogant assumption that "we", as in the human being meat sacks are the "pinnacle" of evolution on this planet.  wow, that is such an arrogant stance.  I shall resist the urge to go on a mega-rant about how massively flawed the human being is & basically how pathetic it is at handling ANYTHING in relation to existing & surviving on this planet, but I'll drop a minor one: strip naked, go into the middle of a wooded area & survive for 1, 2, 3 nights - let's make it fun - do it for 4 weeks.  Let's see how much you eat, drink, keep warm,  - oh you were thinking of somewhere nice like Dorset or the Cotswolds - no, I was thinking more like the jungle, where there is a minute-by-minute fight for survival to exist.  If you aren't bitten by things, eaten by things, infected by things within the first 5 minutes I'd be very surprised - human beings are the worst at surviving naturally.

And that is where the debate stops, because we'll venture into the realms of "but we can think", "we can put on items to stay warm", "we can make weapons" (sigh, always comes back to weapons), yes, we're all very clever & smart, we exist because we kill everything off. not exactly harmony, is it?

Well, Mother Earth is a wonderful host, she tolerates our existence, sometimes & sometimes not - however, we are very far from the "pinnacle" of evolution.

THE OCTOPUS is awesome.  Don't believe me? Pull up a virtual chair & give me 25minutes of your time.

Now, think.  How long has the octopus been in existence for?  Think of what it can do.  

Now think about whether an octopus could, I don't know, let's say, learn to survive inside a meat sack that is mostly constructed of water (and a fair amount of sea water too), learn to blend in, in plain sight - you'd neevr know whether that was a "person" you just walked past or whether it was an "alien" (I use that term loosely), when was the last time you were able to flip open another persons head and check that the big sqwuishy thing inside their skull was a human brain and not an octopus?  Then the octopus could, I don't know, maybe learn to survive for longer than 5years.  Now, ponder, if you have a 50year old Octopus, think of how smart it would be - you're thinking about the 9-brains now and all those tentacles, well, arms & legs could house such things.

Did that just freak you out, just a little bit?

Did I just write the begin of a new horror movie? (that is so far removed from the traditional b*ll*x Octopus related movies that have been made that all focus on the ocean)

Okay, another brain teaser to leave you on.  There was a mention that due to the way Octopuses do not pass on knowledge the next generation has to start afresh.

Now, think about human beings.  Do you not think "we" also have that same flaw? [pause] think for a second, before you speak. yes, properly THINK. okay, let me spell it out: human beings have the greatest case of mass amnesia of any species in existence!  We remember yesterday, we remember last year, last decade & thanks to books / scriptures we may remember a couple of hundred years - but further back than that?

Nope, we don't remember jack-sh!t - 1000, 2000, 5000, 10,000, 20,000 - I mean the "theory" is that we've been knocking around for 150,000 years & the Earth is 2-4Billion years old.  Put those numbers into context.  We "forgotten" a f---ing lot!  A lot more than the Octopus.

Next you'll be telling me that our ANT-FRIENDS* never existed :-D

Well, this took a funny turn.  Back to the Octopus.

They are amazing - they are smart, they are intelligent, they are real characters - now, imagine, they have been around for how long?  Give them access to technology - give them access to tooling, give them access to "human" things, now sit back, grab your popcorn and get ready to watch:

"Dawn of the Octopus" (2026)

I'm no good at photoshop and I refuse to use those ML tools to generate images, so you'll have to use your imagination here to go through the story-board:

We don't need to be looking "skywards" or in the "stars" for aliens.  They are & have always been here, right on the same planet, we call Earth.

oh & they are 1,000,000 times smarter than we are.  We should respect that, but we don't.

Coming to a theatre near you soon:

"The rise of the octopus, part II" (oh, wasn't this a Nostradamus prediction for around this timeline?) 

“Through the ashes of despair,
A new light shall rise,
The souls of men shall awaken,
And wisdom shall flow like a river.”

“From the depths, a ruler will rise,
In the midst of floods reaching to the skies.
Empires will fall, and new waves will reign,
The Aquatic Empire, from the realm of the ocean.”
