More Philosophy or Biology than “Politics,” but most are probably familiar with Koko and her importance in evaluating the development of intelligence and perhaps what it means to be sentient.

Not human nor my pet so I don't care.

ETA: There is too much that really does affect my life and the lives of those around me to care about Koko. Humans alone are made in the image of God and unless I have a personal association to an animal (like a pet), I'm not going to care too much about their passing.

BMY. You are one of the least intelligent posters on this site. Perhaps you shouldn't be calling anyone else slow. Classic dem projection.

Just a reminder that there is almost no proof that Koko uses sign language as anything but a response to leading behavior from her trainer, and there has been essentially no outside evaluation of her foundations "research".

Setting aside the humor for a moment, estimates of Koko’s IQ are hard to nail-down, but she seems to have been somewhere at the bottom of the second SD below the mean for humans (70-75). (Some claim “low 80s,” but I disagree).

If 70-75 is accurate, she was more intelligent than 2-5% of humans. If one has any intellectual curiosity at all, it is difficult NOT to see her as fascinating.

that's a shitty thing to say

with all the threads complaining about libs throwing insults towards trump and his family it seems like most folks here would be above reciprocating.

This is the absolute truth. It's amusing how hard he tries to appear intellectual and yet provides very little in way of substance. Just one liner throwaway insults and such.

Dude gets owned consistently on the board.

To be fair: while this is kind of of ‘interest’ piece and I’m perfectly glad that it was posted, I don’t really care much at all.

I gotta agree with the sentiment. It affects me none at all (directly or emotionally)


Again, that is not a slight on the OP for posting it.
