One of the most influential and underrated thinkers of our time.
I always link this short opinion piece of his from +20 years ago, still relevant today as we continue to learn more about animal sentience and linguistics. RIP naked ape, your understanding of how unspecial we are as a species made you special among our kind. -
@Gashlycrumb I showed my husband the series The Human Animal last year and it took me back to when I watched it during the original US broadcast. I had to sneak watching it because my religious household forbade secular television, and looking back I’m pretty sure it is part of what helped me eventually break the spell of religion and find peace with a scientific world view. Thanks for everything, Desmond.
Here’s a link to the mini series. https://archive.org/details/vid-20230113-091100
