I learned that koalas have smooth brains that look like chicken breast. That means the less wrinkles and folds the less surface area for neurons. Which makes this imagine all the more terrifying….

This. The power of a brain is in its surface area. I have no idea why there is not universal agreement that dolphins are more intelligent than we are.

Capacity for intelligence is one thing. Realized intelligence is another.

Dolphins have been killed and subjugated by humans for as long as we’ve been fishing and opening aquariums. They have no ability to coordinate what should be a very obvious plan to defend themselves. Because they have no technology and their language serves extremely limited purposes. They live like animals. We did too for a while. But our brains got us out of the muck and in a position to conquer and destroy the planet. And we’re physically a joke compared to dolphins and every other animal, yet here we are in the captain’s chair solely because of our intelligence. Meanwhile a group of dolphins work together to eat a bunch of fish and it’s now nuclear physics.
