    Maybe the communication experiment could have gotten somewhere if they'd paid attention to basic biology and realized dolphins can't form the same sounds as us. They just needed to try teaching it English via Morse code (like how a gorilla was taught sign language). It probably wouldn't have been able to learn much more than a few simple words, but it would have been easier than just talking to it and expecting it to magically turn into a parrot.

    • @SgtSupaman
      @SgtSupaman ปีที่แล้ว +269

      There is video proof that the gorilla definitely learned and used some hand signs (probably nowhere near as many as those teaching it claimed). My point is, the gorilla did learn to at least mimic hand signing, even if it never understood what it was saying (and certainly couldn't form any full sentences), so the dolphin, just like it learned to mimic the tone of the woman's voice, could likely have learned to mimic a click/squeal version of Morse code. Again, as I said, they probably wouldn't get any further than associating a few words with specific actions, but it is a far better tactic than expecting their throats and mouths to transform to something capable of making human sounds. It's not like Morse code is all that complicated. I learned the entire alphabet in one night just for fun. They could've at least taught it .._. _____ _____ _..
      You can see a very similar thing today where dogs and cats are given buttons that play human words. The animal pushes the button that will say the word "food" when they are hungry or "outside" when they need to go out or even the name of a family member that they are looking for. We know they can't vocalize like us, so they are given a different way to communicate these simple ideas. Even if they don't understand the concepts of the words themselves (I'd say it's doubtful they ever will, regardless of what their owners like to think about how smart they are), they eventually understand what actions typically follow them.

      Just because something or someone is intelligent DOES NOT MEAN it's going to blindly agree with you. It doesn't even mean it's going to arguably perceive or interact with the world in ways you approve of.
      SO far as I've seen, and I've seen quite a bit... The machine learning is still just overtly sophisticated math and code... nothing especially self aware or intelligent on its own...
      The animals, on the other hand... certainly give more ambiguous and self motivated evidence of actual thinking going on, whether or not you approve or enjoy their ideas... ;o)

    That was definitely a suicide by Peter. Losing Margaret was no doubt enough of a heartbreak for him, but to then be put into that tiny tank and no sunlight? Had he and the other two been housed in a decent pool, where he could at least swim around, he might have survived missing her, but the loss and then confinement was too much for him. That was inhumane to treat them that way.

    • @DeidresStuff

    • @animalobsessed1
      @animalobsessed1 ปีที่แล้ว +105

      It sounds like Peter was never housed in a "decent pool" to begin with. Living in water levels no higher than a human's hip, is no way for a dolphin to live. Add to that, the unnecessary separation from others of his species. He was probably mentally screwed even before the experiment ended. If they were so dumb that they didn't even notice such a glaring issue, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the scientists failed to take care of the dolphin's needs in other ways as well. Especially since it was the 60s, where the idea of keeping animals in humane conditions during experiments was a foreign concept.

      I think it does not matter if he understood "the concept of suicide." It is very clear about his actions that he lost his "will to live" and did not maintain his life any longer. Action which talks about huge emotional suffering.
      The fact is that through his own actions, Peter died following a heartbreak. That is suicide.

    This wouldn’t be the first recording dolphin suicide. The world first dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry, witnessed Kathy’s suicide. Kathy was the primary dolphin used for the famous Flipper tv-series. This event caused Ric to dedicate the rest of his life to fighting against dolphin captivity and sea aquariums.

    • @MalcolmBrenner
      @MalcolmBrenner 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I also had a dolphin I was very close to commit suicide while I was at college, 3,000 miles away. The damn thing is I had a nightmare that, strangely enough, clearly showed architectural and environmental similarities to the environment where the dolphin died. I later determined that happened no later than 2 weeks after my dream, and her trainer told me she'd been going down hill for a while before that. One has to be very careful, in ending a relationship with a dolphin, to gradually diminish contact to the point where the dolphin can replace you in its affections with someone else. In captivity, they become dependent on us not only for fish, vitamins and fresh water, but for emotional support. They put in us the kind of faith they give to their mates in the sea, and it is total and absolute. You break it not only at their risk, but yours as well.

An unfortunate fact of reality is that a lot of modern creature comforts & breakthrough scientific discoveries only happen BECAUSE OF said experimentation.

    You would think if they wanted to talk to animals they would start with animals that are capable of speaking. Like parrots crows and ravens.
    I once knew a parrot named Spanky that could speak a 150 words he even gave the dog commands and the dog obeyed.
    It was clearly far more than just a trick the bird knew exactly what it was doing. His only hang up was he confused the word treat with cookie, Spanky was one smart bird he even drank beer.
    Larry the guy that owned the bird. His wife divorced him and left him with nothing but his motorcycle and the bird.
    Then I heard that Larry won the lottery maybe not millions but more than enough to retire moved to Florida.
    Those parrots can live for 50 or 60 years. I would like to think that somewhere in Florida Spanky and Larry are sitting on the beach somewhere having cookies and beers to this day.

      Don’t forget that dolphins are wild animals, dogs not. They don’t form bonds with humans, because they aren’t domesticated animals. Though companys like Seaworld like to make you believe that their captured animals have a bond with their trainers, the only thing that they are really interested in is the food they are given by these trainers. They do get used to human company, but they do not form an emotional bond. Also, the thing you should be really sorry for is that this remarkably intelligent creature was kept in captivity. It is impossible to provide everything needed for an healthy life for an animal like this. They get bored and develop massive psychological damage. It is similar to keeping a human locked up in an empty room all its life.

      Not as extreme, but we had two tiny dogs at one point. One girl and one boy, both fixed. We got them at around the same time and they spent their entire lives together. At around 6-7, the girl died, pretty sure from a snake bite. The boy was never the same. We gave him a lot of love and he stayed in the house all of the time after that, but anytime he wasn't getting attention, you could tell he was sad. He would just lay around and do nothing. Matted eye corners almost all the time. We got another pup hoping to cheer him up, but he was just kind of a jerk to it. We eventually found him a home with a recently retired person hoping that she could give him a lot of attention. Really sad ordeal. We have two younger dogs now again, we're going to get a third in the next year or two to be sure we can do what we can to help when the inevitable happens.

    I've read "Man and Dolphin" as well as the sequel, "The Mind of the Dolphin" and ended up with mixed emotions about both. Lilly was a medical doctor from the 50's and most of his writing talks about how courageous it is to even consider, much less declare, that dolphins might be intelligent. The man had an ego and spends a lot of time writing about himself and having such bold ideas. The actual info about dolphins could be condensed into a magazine article. But you have to consider the time, way before the Internet, so little was known, much less spread. In the 50's, people could shoot dolphins for sport. They were thought-of as fish. I really credit the aquariums for enlightening the masses. Even the show, "Flipper" was a big help. Before that, people just didn't know.
    With guys like Timothy Leary making headlines, it was reasonable to think that LSD might be a technological break-through. I won't fault Lilly there. But I will say that he wasn't much of scientist. He didn't really study the dolphins deeply and observe them for what they were, or are. I feel it was like a window of opportunity lost, and I would love to see someone repeat the experiment with a more modern realistic view.
    Lilly was eventually done-in by ketamine. He was totally lost on the drug. And I have mixed emotions about that too. Ketamine has recently been shown to be helpful in the treatment of depression. But we're talking about maybe once or twice a year. More often and it destroys the brain. That seems to be what happened to Lilly.
    Thanks to Thoughty2. This was a good exposition, and I never knew that Margaret got the lab and what, unfortunately, happened to Peter. By looking at the past, we can plot the future. And hopefully improve.

      Ketamine doesn't destroy the brain in controlled amounts. Ketamine sprays can be used on a weekly basis without adverse effects. Mdma is neurotoxic but it is being trialled for ptsd and depression. The key to counteracting neurotoxicity is antioxidants as well as other substances. Psilocybin, LSD and other alkaloids have neuro-regenerative properties, as well as giving you a totally different outlook on life as a whole. It's a shame that these kinds of substances are still stigmatised nowadays, especially with LSD being given a bad rep after the FBI/CIA experiments. If you dose someone for months on end, no wonder they're gonna go batshit crazy 😂

So I had to move back in with my parents can't work or get out much & I get lonely & bored, after my parents paid me back for fixing the plumbing, I bought an XBOX & finally figured out how to sign in to TH-cam & that's all I watch now, because we just have Direct TV & there's never anything on, but talking to my therapist, my medication, weed & you're videos help with my loneliness & boredom & I wanted to say thank you for that

    I'd heard this story before but you had additional information that I hadn't heard before. Very interesting, but so sad that the dolphins ended up so badly. Loved the quote at the end - the perfect way to end the video!

    I played the Ecco game when I was a kid. It was so fun! Crazy to think it was inspired by such a strange and ultimately tragic series of events.

    The first inter-species communication just happened. The dolphin message was translated and said, 'The extended warranty on your vehicle is about to expire'.

    We have 3 cats. One of them, Yankee, talks to me all the time and we have come to understand each other with certain meows, and certain words. They may not be as complex by Dr. Lilly's standards, but some of them are certainly very smart.

  • @28russ

    Nice ending with the reference to your namesake......But it sounds like Peter was giving thanks for more than just fish......But sadly, in the end..... his life just didn't have porpoise anymore😂😂

    This is so horrid and extremely sad at the same time, the poor dolphins... shame on all those who took part in that horrible experiment that went wrong and that stupid girl who didn't even care to find out about the dolphins' fate and to save them ...

    • @phoenixj1299
      @phoenixj1299 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dolphins kill and rape for fun incase you don't know. They even kill their children so that they can have more sex. They also try to involve sexually with humans. If you have a daughter and if you witness a dolphin humping your daughter, you will surely change your mind on dolphins. Untill then, stay ignorant.

I do have one serious question for you. Do you ever age? I swear over the years you just dont age man. :D keep up the good work i look forward to your future productions.
