…while not changing anything about our behavior, you mean. Because we were never ignorant of how to do better; we just couldn’t accept even any inconvenience, any obstacle to our “growth”.
I'm well aware! Not only are we unable to change our behaviour we in fact have the hubris to imagine that if we could only use our technology to communicate with the whales that it would be enough to say
> "Don't go to these places—even though you want to, even though your family has been breeding there for generations—because that's our special whale hunting area"
And that their behaviour would change for us, that their response would simply be:
> "No worries, thanks for the heads up! Sorry for getting in the way of your harpoons"
