Slime mold will sometimes avoid high sugar foods because in processing the food it can lead to an osmotic imbalance in their habitat, but these "intelligent" monkeys can't figure out how to stop burning coal.😒

@futurebird oh we can. But in humans intelligens is corollated with all sorts of maladepted behaviour. It's hard to tell exactly why this is, but I am partial to the neroeconmic answer. it's expensive to invent new ways of thinking. The more intelligent you are the easier it is to mangel a broken thought pattern to fit new reality.
