Because they are much better as a tasty dish than as a smart pet.

not at all crazy. but artificial selection is fuckin stupid. It poses several threats if accidents were to occur, costs tons of money, trial and error very time consuming.

That's a strongly implied false dichotomy.

Your lack of sanity is fact but your conclusions are nevertheless correct.

Well one factor that increases the attractiveness of working with cuttlefish is that animal rights legislation doesn't extend to invertebrates.

You literally get to work with something that is as smart as a chimp and not have to deal with a labyrinth of ethics review boards.

I bet if they discovered this animal on an alien planet they would go batshit crazy, but nobody cares about the cuttlefish when theyre right under their noses.

You're all fucking jerks.

>>8701066
any artificial selection in a closed system would be okay by me. To advance their species in a natural system would lead to some pretty shitty consequences like the die-off of octopi (equally interesting phylum); also a possible disappearance of delicious things like crab and oysters may occur.

cuttlefish beat chimps at chess, m8.

>>8702671

I never saw a cuttlefish eat it's own shit.

>>8702684
Nah I agree, cuttlefish and octopi are great and we should definitely uplift them.

Yeah, I'm think closed environment.

I'm just trying to think of how to design an experimental condition that would allow me to determine which cuttlefish are intelligent so I could create a breeding stock.

The rest would obviously be barbecued.

>>8702689
To be fair, humans have scat fetishes as well. You'll have to forgive the chimps the occasional coprophagia.
