      It's not only the shell. It was not mentioned in the video, but cephalopods without a shell have very short lifespans, 1 to 5 years or so, which is unique for an intelligent creature. While more "dumb" and primitive armored cephalopods (nautiluses) live more than 20 years.

    I hope there is an updated version made. Octopuses and squid are now known not to be colorblind but just as their intelligence evolved differently than chordates their color vision is completely different. They only have a single type of photodetector and the fact that lenses are achromatic and have non-circular pupils and their visual system is much more complicated than ours so as to be able to extract color diffraction around the edge of the pupil and the achromatic distortions caused by lenses.

    Ever since I was 8 years old, I've wanted to be a marine biologist. I would always wonder about all these amazing creatures that are found in the ocean... My parents wouldn't let me have my own phone, so I would ask them if I could watch a video on their phone about sharks and dolphins and all marine animals I could think of. My cousin is currently in university studying to become a marine biologist, and she lives on the opposite side of the world from where I do, yet every night, we talk about these mysteries of the ocean through messages. Although I am still in school and still have many years of school and high school, I still want to be a marine biologist. These videos of the ocean makes me even more curios! Thank you for sharing this information.

He was a person who knew a lot about how nervous system of octopus works and he had a huge collection of octopus inks. I loved asking him questions. I wish you the best to become a marine biologist.

    Having done a lot of diving - I can say that the octopus is an absolute marvel to encounter. Some (mostly the younger ones) are ... So curious. At first it's like "WOW! U THREAT?!" once it establishes that you are not, it's like "Eeer ... What are you then? I've never seen one of you around before." and there begins the act of mutual curiosity :3. You slowly reach with a finger, it sends a tentacle ... you both touch, sometimes they get frightened and clamp your entire hand, flashing black before letting go, but not swimming away. They are playful, find a shiny pebble, hand it to the octopus, it'll take it, check if it can be eaten ... discard it ... then a few sec after send a tentacle back to the pebble out of curiosity as to "why did he give me this pebble ... gotta check again for anything special". They really hold a very special place in my heart, it's not everyday that two species get curious about one another and attempt mutual understanding :)

    I worked with a marine biologist studying cephalopods. He had one big tank for octopuses and one for crabs, their favorite food. One morning he came in and found that one of his octopuses had pushed the lid open on his tank, crossed the floor and climbed into the crab tank. Soon it became a common occurrence. He decided to give the octopus a mild shock when he found it in the crab tank to deter it. Within days he came in and found the octopus had still gone to the crab tank, eaten it's fill, but then climbed back to its own tank to avoid the shock.
    They are amazing animals.

The octopus had escaped its tank and thrown it at them, solely because one of the shrimp it had been fed had gone bad!

    I feel it is a possibility that the octopus lost its shell AFTER superior intelligence had developed or atleast began, and was able to manipulate itsself/tools.... Therefore, through evolution it lost its shell to become even more adept at the camouflage and escape tactics it had come to be proficient at..

      Exactly. I'm actually vegan but i stopped eating octopuses like 25years ago when my grandparents brought me to fish them.
      The sounds, the suffering, the continuos tries to escapes everywhere hit me so hard even as a child that i couldnt fish or eat them anymore.
      Their ability to hide when i was going underwater, to disappear in front of my eyes, to watch me and interact with me!
      I was amazed, couldnt stop watching them underwater.
      They were the first animal to grab my attention, curiosity and definitely teach me something.
      Many others came in the time, but they were the ones who changed me inside and started my evolution.

      Well, a human brain also comprises of 2 hemispheres which are synchronized and in many cases both process same data. How often do you guys literally ask your left (right) hemisphere ? Look up voting mechanisms in automatic control systems that feature modular redundancy : oftentimes it's just stupid comparators that compare outputs of the redundant modules to each other and then to some threshold values. There might be a circuit that calculates, let say, a derivative, of the outputs, compares to the preset mathematical model and votes out the module whose data is considered bullshit. But that's it : just a dumb digital circuit, no formal thinking involved, you just have the ultimate decision at an instant. I assume we don't even recognize there could be some collective decision-making within our own brain, we just have the end results. Disclaimer : I am not a biologist, just speculating.

Then later you find out that same land creature was swimming around calling other sea creatures beautiful, saying the same things to others, octo has been played, and now heart broken.

    Imagine being "the head" of an octopus, sometimes dragged along by the autonomy of your arms.
    Or imagine being "the arm", dedicating your whole existance to the benefit of the other 7 arms and the head.

    Hey, I just had a thought about octopuses and intelligence being social: Octopuses may be social--internally. If their arms have semi-independent cognition, then an octopus mind might be more like a council or group mind than a unitary self. As I understand it, neuroscience is revealing that humans are not exactly unitary selves either. But for us the "multiple selves" are subconscious, more or less as portrayed in "Inside Out." But if an octopus' "sense of self" is somewhat plural, being localized to some degree in the arms, being an octopus might "feel" more like being a vessel with a mind-linked crew than being "a person" as we perceive it. Thus, a form of social interaction and consensus-building would be happening for an octopus at all times. That might explain why they are able to interact socially and play with humans even though they don't seem to have social structure among their own kind.
    Anyway, it's just a thought. :)

Though the left and right brain in our body are normally physically connected, it is possible to sever those connections, which was something that used to be done to treat epilepsy. What's so interesting is that in experiments with people who have had thier left and right brain severed from each other, there seems to be some level of separate thinking there.

I was also making hooch quietly because it was forbidden (it was lighting in a cup) so I could swap liquor with the chef for him making me private meals. One day there was an octopus in a crab pot. I tossed it a live well. Came back once everyone was off the deck. Was gonna take it to the chef. it softly wrapped itself around my arm and I felt like I could see the fear in its eyes. I couldn't do it. I took it over to the side of the ship, held it over. It looked down, looked back at me, let go of my arm, and worked its way down the side of the ship until it got to the water.

    I think cephalopod intelligence is “hard wired”. An octopus has a very short lifespan, as little as 18 months, and has to learn everything from the moment it hatches completely on its own.
    Its mother died before it emerged from the egg, so it is born an orphan. This has huge implications, because despite being intelligent it has no “mentor” to learn from.
    It’s also a mollusk, so in a way it’s a slug with awesome superpowers.
    They’re fascinating animals.
