Comment on The Gruesome Story of How Neuralink’s Monkeys Actually Died

Jesus fucking christ. That isn’t losing coordination. That is being terrified of these people for what they did to her.
she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.
She knew she was fucked and was getting comfort from those closest.
I’m getting High Evolutionary from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 vibes here. These animals acted like his experiments.

Or the movie was based on real life. Animals aren’t as dumb as we pretend. Other mammals are just that: mammals. The same as us. Mammals have the same feelings as us, the same emotions, the same fundamental chemical reactions, the same socialization. We just have big brains and written language to amplify basic mammalian traits.

Yeah I’ll be downvoted to hell for this comment but… no. Not all mammals are like us, they don’t have the same feelings as us, they don’t have the same emotions and definitely not the same fundamental chemical reactions (whatever the hell that is supposed to be anyways).
Just to be clear: Elon Musk is a sociopathic scammer, he doesn’t give a shit if living beings (or just plainly people) suffer or not and as far as I’m concerned he can go to hell where the devil will shove a pineapple up his ass every day for the shit he’s caused so far.
However, that doesn’t mean that animals are the same like us. I’m not claiming were better, I’m not claiming they deserve to suffer because they’re different, just trying to say that even chimps are already very different from us, hell, even within humans we have a wide range: look at Elon. I think it’s fair to say that he works quite different from most other humans, quite different from you and I. Monkeys, apes, and especially “mammals” as a group work VERY different from us
