People keep asking for a specific paper in various branches of these threads, and he keeps not giving one. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it has not been refuted as clearly as he claims.

Luke, thank you. Great insights. The research is now focusing on the short term memory regions in the chimpanzees brain in the area we have the phonological loop and observe a decline in function. Thus far this has proven to show promise.

I followed you because of the first tweet and reading this thread I immediately unfollowed you Sorry but your excesively nice but kinda robot like avoiding tone is super annoying. You sound like Elizabeth Warren or some random "nice" politician who uses the word "folks".

Sorry you feel that way. I will endeavor to be less “excessively nice” in the future.

We really do and right now learning about some of those astonishing things, through tweets like yours, is giving me a bit of hope for the future. Which is hard to come by. So thank you again.
