Pretty arrogant of humans in the first place to think humans are the only animal to have that ability.

The more we study animal behavior, the more we tend to find out that our cognitive abilities aren't unique.

Yeah I always cringe when I hear some commongoober pretend to know the goings on of the minds of animals, it's one of those truisms that aren't actually true but people who want to sound on top of things repeat them anyway

Especially dumb is when it's put real broadly, i.e. the classic "humans can reason, animals can't"

Humans are pretty much the Americans of the animal kingdom.


So, what you're saying is that Americans are far, far more intelligent than everyone else? Seeing as humans are much more intelligent than even the most intelligent animal species after all.

Wasp sees human flee another wasp.

Wasp takes delight in hunting you* down to finish the job, knowing the human's terrified.

not YOU, you- just a generalization

This is great news. We can now use the transitive inference to our advantage.

Bats and some other animals sometimes eat wasps. So if I fight a bat and win in front of the wasps they will be super afraid of me and run instead of stinging me.


Try it, record it, and post results.

It's for science.

Wasps are basically like when I turn on GTAV planning to advance the story but I just see people and start attacking them instead

Science is flooded with conjectures that get repeated so much theyre given gravitas. So this happens all the time.
