Cool --

I've never been to that particular place (in Ayutthaya Thailand), but I've seen elephants actually playing an oversized xylophone-type instrument at the elephant training center / hospital in Lampang Thailand, a couple hours from my home.

Those elephants could play a simple melody, given a mallet held in the trunk and an instrument large enough to accommodate their trunk dexterity. I didn't see the mahouts / handlers exerting any sort of direct control over them while they were playing, so I think that they remember the songs, timing, etc. all internally. This elephant bobbing along with the music suggests that they have rhythm and an innate enjoyment of the music, also.

Amazing animals, and cool to watch!

Could be for a some but not all of the following reasons:

Peeps here have neurotic voting habits.

Peeps here abide by some anal-esque adherence to their neurosemantic–dexterity circuits.

Peeps here can't stand anything that has to do with churchy-stuff or goddy-god-god subject matter (becasue they have a log-jam the size of Ohio lodged in their asses).

Peeps here think kids doing cute shit is not worthy of their time or vote.

Peeps haven't seen it yet (It's only been up 3hr 10 mins and only 20 or so peeps are logged-on at any given time, and considering the votes-to-views, it will most-likely get a buncha votes as 4 of 11 that have viewed, voted it up)

Peeps have something against Baptists in Kyrgyzstan and children or a combination of, or all of the three.

Some peeps simply suck at life.

Lifes' a bitch when there's so many personality-types and the baggage that comes with 'em....

Maybe? Maybe that's why we're so fascinated with story lines of vigilantes and non-plussed when a hero kills anyone we can feel comfortable classing as "bad". Dexter, Breaking bad, etc.

Unchecked expansion of any creature is harmful.

We're stuck. We're uniquely social and empathetic (and selfish). We can't just kill off the baddies (but we fantasize about it). We can't prevent our population expanding (without ruthless mass contraceptives / eugenics). And we're part of a growth based system - like China: without enough young people to support the old, our economic system starts creak.

Fail. Doesn't have The Dexter Lake Club from Animal House where Otis Day and the Knights are playing and the lads want to "... dance with your dates". Come on - Cheers?

upvoted for the conversation sparked, not the video in and of itself.

Just to throw my two cents in: I think the vast majority of civilizations out there probably have intelligences similar to our own just because that is what evolution would dictate. This is of course based only on observing our own evolutionary path which is unfortunately the only model we have access too. But it does actually tell us quite a bit, based on an environment similar to ours it would appear that intelligence would plateau at a certain point because it just isn't beneficial to beings in early societal stages. Ie: you only need a certain amount of intelligence to outsmart a mammoth, this does not involve an innate understanding of complex mathematical principles.

That being said, since there are (probably) billions of planets that could support life I'm sure there are a couple outliers whose intelligent life has a more innate understanding of complex knowledge. It would "probably" be more nuanced than just beings whose intelligence completely dwarfs our own. Parts of their brain (or however you want to translate it to extraterrestrial anatomy) which handle physics or mathematics etc. may be larger giving an added dexterity to problem solving in that SPECIFIC cognitive fields. Similarly to how certain people have added capacity in one portion of their brain or another but does not make them gods in comparison to other.

The reality is that we probably already have met the superior godlike species and we created them. Computers already excel vastly over us in many areas and I'd assume it's only a matter of time before they surpass us entirely.

But hey there are almost assuredly an near infinite amount of planets out there, so maybe there is one where GOD evolved?

Now I'll have to get the blu-ray to see that cold reading.

This is one of the rarest shows I've ever seen where every episode is great and it seems to just be getting better at the very end.

Most other shows are disappointing at the end, like Dexter, for example.

Makes me want to invent a device that inserts foul language into any television show or movie. With multiple levels of profanity and the ability to add new voices (the default setting will be Dexter's sister Debra Morgan) I do believe this thing will sell like a motherfucker.

You give an animal a task and he is happy when he completes it, just like humans. We all have those pathways in our brain to reward for beneficial behavior. Of course food is used to give that useless action a benefit. The dexterity is what baffles me, never knew bears can have such control.

You know an animal is too cute when they can kill another cute animal and still look cute doing it. If I owned such an adorable little psychopath I would probably name him Dexter.
