Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk.

No. We absolutely can do this. Those chimps were trained every day for years and beat uneducated humans with no training. When the same experiment was done with educated humans who were trained for a small fraction of the time the chimps were, the humans outperforned the chimps.

Avi, interesting insights. I think this is not a fair insight on the 30 years of research Tetsuro Matsuzawa, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, I am very certain the professor would love to address your ideas.https://www.matsuzawa.kyoto/cv/en/

If he thinks that the conclusions that I affirm are incorrect, or if he thinks that I am misrepresenting the research in any way, I would be happy to talk to him. Anyone can stop by my discord here and reach me when I'm free:https://discord.gg/yyt97GH

Avi, yes. I will be sure to let him know your insights. Also it would be helpful to show your published papers and research in this area.
