But they

  1. Have extremely short lifespan so a limited capacity to learn (1-2 years)
  2. Don’t raise their offspring, in fact after mating/laying eggs they naturally die, so no knowledge sharing
  3. Are extremely solitary and don’t have social bonds or do anything socially, so little communication/passing of knowledge

I worked as an intern at a lab studying octopus vulgaris.

They are extremely sensitive to all sorts of things in the water. Keeping them well is very difficult. Although I would imagine if there are big but gradual changes in water environment, they would have a chance of adapting faster due to short life cycles and the fact that mating creates hundreds of thousands of eggs.

I mean that’s biology. We can do some pretty cool stuff, but we just don’t understand how so much in the human body works. It’s so fucking complex.

Isn’t fair phone a for profit company? If it is, doesn’t change much.

If it is a non-profit, then that’s even better, lets get some philanthropist on it.

I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.
