        Hey bud? Octupi are developed enough to maintain neighborhood communities, and they managed to avoid inventing money, taxes, and HoAs. They’re also not actively destroying the planet.

        Let’s not pretend like anything we are doing has an inherent good to it. Animal societies looking different to ours doesn’t make them inferior to ours. What humanity has wrought is nothing to brag about.
