@epiceneVivant You're seriously suggesting that humans...

@ecadre That wasn't my intent. The volume of the average human brain (~1195 cm³)[1] is about 155× the volume of the average American crow brain (~7.6 cm³)[2]. That still counts for something imho.

I just meant that fact shouldn't lead us to assume the intelligence of a crow must be drastically less than the intelligence of a human. They could be closer to us than we might assume based on the size difference.

@ecadre @epiceneVivant Not OP, but personally, I think so.

Humans aren't special. Humans aren't "smarter" or "more intelligent" or more deserving of respect, rights, etc.

Humans aren't even the only ones with fancy language. (Look at dolphins.)

Human superiority is /so/ deeply ingrained into society you're probably thinking "b-b-but HUMANS!"
Nope, you're not special.
