Interesting point about the guy who forgot all about his time with the bears: apparently this was used to found a theory that language and memory are joined at the hip. So by learning language, the way the guy retained and recalled memories was formed by language, and thus any non-language memories rendered inaccessible. No idea if thats true but its a theory as to why no one really remembers their childhood.
I like some of the nerdy big-brain articles that adorn this platform. But it's nice to have a break from that every once in a while, and stop thinking about philosophy and politics, and come here.

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing Conor
Maybe some of us acquire language earlier than others. I remember a whole lot of my early childhood.

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy!
Sounds better than current human society. Wonder if any of them adopt 82-year-olds??
i was raised by rats. i am now the giant rat that makes all of the rules
Grateful to have your support, giant decision-maker rat
and you shall have it forever so long as i can nibble at your shins more regularly than occasionally
I hate the way humans treat these people 😭
Yeah it’s pretty nasty, really showing off the worst of the human race
