RE: Animal Intelligence and its Implications for Alien Life Part 1: Octopi
I believe the creators of the show intentionally simplified aliens, so we can more easily formulate our emotions towards them. If the show was too complex, it would have probably turned downed fans. And your lessons on the octopi, wow. Never read that anywhere before. Really interesting
I'm glad you liked it!
I was more of the impression that the aliens of Star Trek existed more to comment on other political systems, like Soviet Russia, than to actually predict what aliens would be like.
