Intelligent Animals

Alright, now is the time where you can shout out: Sascha, you are a freak! Unfortunately you're dealing with a highly complex personality who has heard this expression too many times before and has therefore shaped itself in this direction.

Yes, I have to admit I watched "Prevolution - Planet of the Apes". BUT it is not the first time I've come to think about this weird, yet very realistic idea that some day in the future apes will be able to function the very same way as human beings do right now. I ain't a professor but I've heard and watched a lot of serious documentaries on the TV in which it was proven that apes are very clever, some of them even have a higher IQ than Einstein, which is a unexpectedly creepy fact.

So why not try cooperating with them, trying to teach them sign language and a bit of maths and stuff?

Maybe, one day, we'll be able to have an extensive chat with them, who knows?

As a matter of course the text in the picture I posted above is a bit exaggerated ... wait. No, it actually isn't. Let's keep it real, I get it, but what if them apes will truly be in charge? Particularly the ones with the Einstein-IQ's? I mean, the chances are small but if you take a look at humanity, how much we destroy ourselves without even realizing it, how fast the evolution has actually developed - there is a possibility.

And just to give you an example: two days ago a friend of mine posted a status on facebook, saying: "I've just read that mammoths are extinct. Like, thousands of years ago. Why didn't anyone tell me?! So, Ice Age is all fake or what?! I hate Hollywood!"
In all my life I have never felt so ashamed of a friend. She managed to reach a complete new level of stupidity. Yes, the internet calls this "Fail at parenting" and I totally agree. Therefore, if your parents fail to educate you properly, you'll fail to educate your own children, too, and one day the human race will be extinct because the only intelligent people left were to busy feeding themselves rather than producing more of our kind.

LET THEM APES COME AND TAKE OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY. It's safer that way. I guess.
