    imagine we find out later that shifts in our socialisation isn't due to smartphones but some unknown factor that also affects intelligent animals...

      Well there are more microbes around us than there are stars in the universe. They survive without smart phones, intelligence, religion, society and stories that need to fit in a 3 inch chimp brain about the meaning of it all. One of them recently killed 6 million people. Life goes on.

    It's like when you starve them of resources they don't thrive. It does not compute, the line is going up.

    Glad to see things like this are being funded. It’s easy to forget we aren’t the only smart, social creatures on the planet dealing with this rapidly changing world.

    Hat tip to the elephants for not being sociopaths like the Orca. Or otters.

    Maybe the elephants and octopus should form a brilliant animals but not sociopaths club.
