    What if the ufos going in and out of water are just communicating with dolphins

      I think they go into the water bc it's the least likely to be monitored (except US naval assets) and they cant be seen as well as in air or space. Water can't effect them if space and air doesn't

    Folds in the brain is an intelligence metric; dolphins have more

    • @taylorneill6729
      @taylorneill6729 8 месяцев назад

      As far as I'm aware (and I'm not a neuroscientist) its much more accurate to say the folds are a neural structure complexity metric. I'm going to presume that even though this means dolphins have much more real estate that perhaps their version of a pre-frontal cortex isn't as advanced. And since this is the part of the brain that is associated with high level reasoning and logic (what we would traditionally consider intelligence) that this is why they are not as 'intelligent' as us.

    A wise Dolphin once said,
    "When you swim with a nice girl for two hours you think it's only a minute. But when you can avoid to get stuck on a hot Strand for a minute, just one Life before it would happen, you will know that intelligence and time love relativity."

    I still feel intelligence and smart are not the same measure. One is just potential, the other is actualized intelligence. In that case, we have a ways to go to be smart.

    • @DeMooniC
      @DeMooniC 10 месяцев назад

      To make what we make it takes WAY, more than just intelligence.
      We have the hability to communicate with complex language (though orcas almost for sure do too, but idk if as complex as our vocal coords), we have 2 free limbs (arms) with hands with 5 fingers each that we can articulate freely and use to manipulate anything around us... Unlike cetaceans that just have short flappy fins that can't be used for shit other than swiming. Not only that, they also live in water, which means incredibly important advancements such as discovering fire are physically impossible for them as well... And like, discovering fire was like THE technological advancement of human history, without that, we wouldn't be here at all, not even close.
      So yeah, your reasoning of "ooga booga human split atom, whale not so human smarter" is completely stupid and flawed. Without mentioning it took us like 300000 years to split atoms, create computers, cars, the wheel, electricity, etc. Just go 200 years into the past and 99% of all these "highly intelligent human achivements" weren't a thing

    I think our perception of reality is based on our own experience and it's not realistic to compare experience of other species. Intelligence is subjective. I'd say if anything our ability to connect is similar to dolphins.. probably inferior.

  • @zavierorlos1948

      Well they are aquatic animals that neither have any fingers to manipulate stuff nor do they have any ability to create fire because they are underwater. Fire being the kick starter for our civilization so I would say this is an unfair comparison.

    I think the first Anunaki that came to earth was a dolphin like hominid,what we call the anunaki is made up of many different star races,but if I remember correctly the first ones to come here was dolphin like. Ashayana Deane has a book called voyagers 1&2. It tells of a history much different than we are told.

      Orcas have over twice the amount of cerebral cortex neurons than the higher human estimate (43 billion orcas vs 16-21 billion humans)
      This is a VERY good meassure of intelligence which checks out with pretty much every species relative to their observed intelligence.
      So, what did you say? lol
      It's not even a matter of opinion, Orcas (which are dolphins) ARE more intelligent than us. More intelligent doesn't equal more technological advancement since there's TONS of other factors to take into account. It's not just raw intelligence what made human civilization, the industrial revolution, etc. possible.
