      It’s a good idea. Forming relationships with other animal species, interpersonal relationships, will accelerate their assimilation into this civilization.

      It’s a soild model for how to incentivize resource allocation. As we’ve seen with ghetto after ghetto, if there’s a wall between two populations and neither side communicates across that wall, the relationships go away and savagery becomes possible.

      Communication with animals is a really good idea, if we want to save the animals. Of course, by communicating with the animals we’re sort of ending their existence as animals. But oh well. Even the Mona Lisa’s falling apart.
