think you're so smart? Fish know who you are.

Fish have a reputation for being gormless and forgetful, but they can "count", navigate a maze and even remember faces

So we can't eat each other, any other kind of meat, plants (who's relatives know you pulled them up), now fish are looking at us and going "Hey, Joe, you can't do this!". How to reconcile yourself to being a cannibal (we are all related through LUCA)?

I had a little spotted one for years who knew me. If I didn't stop and feed him when I walked by in the morning, he'd tap on the bowl to remind me.
