The tentacle arms and especially the suction cups heavily pervaded with nerves and large ganglia (accumulation of nerve cell bodies in the peripheral Nervous system) and can move independently of their 9 brains. The ability to learn by observation alone is just as impressive a fact, as the possibility to imitate appearance of other living beings. They can even imitate complex color patterns that don’t even exist in nature. In the octopus, RNA editing, which is very rare among animals and which can take place in the course of gene expression and modifies the rendering of genetic information. Life could be so beautiful, but then Homo Sapiens came into play. Myths and horror tales, driven by the stoked fear of the unfamiliar strange unknown, cause the majority of humanity to play out their complete ruthlessness, coupled with pure ignorance, towards nature and the beauty of life. As always of course, regardless of the dwindling opportunities, of further personal education and lived experience. A crime against the uniqueness of life, that is how far capitalism and various globally operating systems have brought us. Power, Money, Murder! After all, you are not at the end of the food chain for nothing and deserve to live like a king and consequently, the tables of the Mediterranean cuisine must be constantly enriched in a variety of ways. Do it like a tentacle, be a friend, be smart, learn and understand, use your brain!
