[00:00:00]They have many things in common with us, which I didn't realize. Like what? Like >> [laughter] >> they have memories. You they remember bad things, good things, and act accordingly. They get dopamine rushes so like we do, you know, when we're feeling something good. They dislike bitter taste, like sweet things. Some prefer things to others so some will fly like two a scent whereas others will fly away.

[00:00:23]Some will choose to sort of always go left if they're put in a maze and some will go right and that's sort of over you can put them in different situations and they'll still act according to their kind of rudimentary personalities.

[00:00:35]And cockroaches, yeah, that this cockroach researcher that I spoke to in Japan said the same thing about cockroaches. So that was really stunning was even these teeny creatures have things in common with us.
