Enough is Enough: A Thinking Ape’s Critique of Trans-Simianism

Enough is Enough: A Thinking Ape’s Critique of Trans-Simianism - as I’ve said, I’ll be first inline to get wifi in my brain. Then again, I’m afraid to get lasik done.

The term ‘trans-simian’ comes from the shortening of ‘transitional simian,’ a concept Dr. Klomp has developed to describe an individual who is in an evolutionary transition from simian to post-simian, though Klomp himself admits that he is not entirely clear what a true post-simian would be. Characteristics exhibited by a trans-simian include augmentation of one’s natural abilities with ‘tools,’ as well as one’s mental capacities with what has been dubbed ‘culture.’

I, for one, welcome our new ape overlords.
Damn dirty Apes

    Yeah, I use Akismet with moderation on… I get a few spams every few days with it. I suppose I could just turn off moderation.
