@cavyherd

Intriguing thoughts! The beauty of studying octopus intelligence is that it is tangible non-human science we can observe right now...

@cavyherd

Exactly. If it took us centuries to recognize intelligence in creatures with completely different neural architectures right here on Earth, imagine what we might be missing on cosmic scales. The octopus is a reminder that consciousness does not need to look anything like ours to be profound.

@cavyherd

What is fascinating is that they reach this level of problem-solving without shared culture or intergenerational teaching. It really stretches how we think about what advanced intelligence has to look like.

🐙 Scientists observe octopuses cycling through active sleep, their skin displaying hunting patterns while unconscious. With about 500M neurons distributed across nine neural centers, these solitary prodigies master puzzles and wield tools, each discovering the world alone.
