Nope. 'AI' is a tool, an innately suspect mishmash of engineering & ideology vainly celebrated as intelligence, which itself we don't understand, lest of all the sprawling complex interactions over millions of yrs resulting in sentient beings. That's whyhttps://t.co/Ywz3ZMWVgF

Been told again to stick to mental health and stop talking about climate change. They are the same issue. The reason anxiety rates are spiking beyond most health conditions is because toxic modern life is SO out of tune with nature. Including human nature.

WARNING: this may make you cry! Here’s a video of LCRP’s newest family member being welcomed for the first time by our middle nursery group. He’s beyond excited and overwhelmed (you can see his smile is mixed with overexcitement) everyone vying for his or her chance to get or give him m a hug! You can see That some of the chimps are even trying to help calm him. He was embraced fully and chose to stay with the group full time from this moment on. He now accompanies the group and their caregivers to their daytime play area and comes back to the house to sleep with them all at night. We’re thrilled and so grateful to all our little ones for their generosity of spirit! ??? Visit link in bio to help or donate? IMPORTANT NOTE: **Chimpanzees are not and should not be pets or forced to live with humans.** The chimpanzee orphans at LCRP's sanctuary in West Africa are victims of the bushmeat and illegal pet trade. Their mothers were tragically killed by poachers and require around the clock care. Thanks to the dedicated caregivers and staff, the orphans are being rehabilitated so that they will be able to thrive with others in a natural and safe environment when they’re older. Please support LCRP’s efforts to rescue chimpanzees in need to keep wild chimps wild ??
