So I'm watching a nature show. Peacocks 🦚. Little bright birds with giant feathers. You know. I start thinking...with elevation...this is a reasonable contextualization of what is human intelligence level compared to other non-human earth intelligence.
I saw this beautiful peacock with it's feathers splayed out on my tv. I pause it . I stare. I think. It made me think about what it is to be intelligent (human style and rhythm). Like an actual context building perspective. Think about how a peacock will fluff out it's feathers to a predator (or it's perspective mate). For some of our dumber distant animal cousins those feathers with there fake eyes and shimmering colors actually confuses the shit out of these animals. They don't know where to look or where to bite or what there even now looking at. Some run off confused scared and all sorts of dumb-f*kd. To us, via the way we organize and analyze our environment and our perspective of perspective, we see the whole bird and the visual cues alone don't throw off our perception of what we're looking at. For us it's a silly pretty little bird with a lot of big ass feathers. The thought that those feathers could fool us is laughable. Yet if you don't have that level of human intelligence... those bird feathers might seem like a holographic magic trick. Like some anime character using chakra and illusion on you. Lol. I love animals big and small. They're are cousins. But look at a peacock sometime....our cousins sure can be some dumb sh#ts😜.
