You're not that much smarter than a chimp. Your advantage is your ability to connect with people. Don't search the strat space yourself, use imitation.

@Cedar From the image: "chimpanzees, orangutans, and toddlers"

*Toddlers* aren't much smarter than a chimp. Try the same tests with an adult human.

@Cedar Why is this a hypothetical? Do you actually believe that or not?
