Alright I get what you're saying. Yeah dolphins are dope, and if we could uplift them to understand fusion and maybe us, that be doing daddy Posadas proud.

I guess what I'm saying is, we don't have a lot of good directions to go in for communication with dolphins right now. Like, I feel like it hubris to say we could ever get to that point, just because it would be so far beyond what we know we can do. And I'm pretty sure we'd have had fusion by now if it got anything more than shoestring budget.

And if I apply that forwards, if we run across some hyper-culture 5th international, I'm not sure they could communicate to us if they wanted to.

Like, our greater scope of intelligence hasn't given us a better command of interspecies communication, hell I'm not sure our command of language is necessarily better than a dolphins, maybe it's just abstract reasoning or lack of mathematics or the lack of grippy appendages holding them back from fusion. We just don't know. It's an unknown unknown. Maybe we too lack something that would let us talk to aliens.
