People are talking about these things as a joke, but cetacean intelligence is a genuine discussion in biology.

These animals have common stakes, common struggle and they recognize that. They are organizing to survive in a world in crisis, just like we are.

When I call toothed whales comrades I mean it.

Not that we’d ever find out from the very fucked language experiments people have done on marine mammals in the past, but I wonder if it might actually be possible to communicate mutually intelligibly with them. I’m neither a linguist nor a marine biologist, so correct me if I’m wrong, but it’d seem to me this level of organization would require some form of language to exist. Is it possible to decipher it with a human brain given enough study? I’d assume whatever the answer to that question is, it’d say a lot about the possibility of communication with aliens as well.
