    I’m finally able to Find! The thread where I’m arguing for tortoises, intelligences. I have zero, technical skills. They mystify me. Luckily, dissecting people, require none. Not my generation at least. But back to the No Hippocampus remark. 90% of us, know that. But here’s a thought for you...

    I, went off on a tangent because someone suggested tortoises don’t “ need to see outside their enclosure n are not too sentient or something along those lines. I did not start my own thread, for My thoughts n was reminded I hijacked your, thread. My content? I back. But it WAS wrong of me to...
