Dev Blocks Critic Mid-Argument Over Octopus's 'Distributed Nervous System' Claim
ctjlewis · x · 2026-10-03
Developer ctjlewis discussed the octopus's so-called distributed nervous system, noting that about two-thirds of its neurons live in its arms rather than its brain — a stark contrast to humans. When @teortaxesTex replied that the take was "silly" without engaging, ctjlewis called the response zero-information and blocked him publicly, saying he needs less of that kind of exchange around him.
