I've seen this on TV. It does show that they have a lot of potential. (I
wonder
how many humans would pass?:) It would also be exciting to uplift them

they are so different from us. I imagine the ideas/experiences they/we
could

Octopi also have a very advanced/evolved communication system, lighting up
