Parrots can mimic humans too, but they don’t understand what we’re saying the way we do.

It's interesting how humanity thinks that humans are smarter than animals, but that the benchmark it uses for animals' intelligence is how well they do an imitation of an animal with a different type of brain.

As if humanity succeeds in imitating other animals and communicating in their languages or about the subjects that they find important.

Super wealthy people portray it like you just did, but what you said isn't accurate.

People are putting basic necessities on credit cards now.

1 square mile is about 2.6 square km, so 2500 people in one square km is about 6500 people per square mile.
