14. Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life by Peter Godfrey-Smith
A garden of stinging jellyfish, as any Australian will insist, is far from Edenic.
Entanglement of one life in another - from this point on the mind evolved in response to other minds. Behaviour becomes directed on other animals - watching, seizing, evading. The machinery of interaction - eyes, claws, antennae. Marks of mobility: legs and fins. Legs and fins don’t necessarily show that one animal was interacting with others. Claws, in contrast, have little ambiguity.
Talking of different evolutions - many of the great Arthropods achievements are social. Ants, honeybee colonies. Social living and coordination.
Cephalopods-non social intelligence. Lone idiosyncratic complexity.
Some cuttlefish behave with a level of indifference that it is so intense it is hard to describe. These cuttlefish do not seem to register you as a living being at all. A maintenance of non-contact. Ignored so perfectly. Profound indifference. An existentialists game of chicken - coming closer and closer refusing to acknowledge my presence.
