W. went to a lecture on dolphins recently, he says. Turns out they're not intelligent after all. They made a terrible mistake, trying to communicate with them for all those years. There was no point at all; they're quite stupid.
They're related to sheep, dolphins, W. says They're ungulates, basically. They're sheep who decided to go back into the water.
Of course, he was always sceptical about dolphins, W. says. When was the last time you saw a dolphin cathedral? When did you last meet a dolphin philosopher?
