@nairolfmackebrecht What is interesting is WHERE dolphin's brains are bigger...it is specifically the neocortex area, which is the area responsible for higher thinking skills. Makes one wonder what they are thinking about....

A bigger brain doesn't mean it's more powerful. It's like saying the first Computers were better because they filled a whole room and weighed a few tons. Also the "Software" is very important. The human brain needs years to develop all the skills we need in our modern society.
Communicating with dolphins?

While Well Intentioned, Jeff missed the point with some of Lilly's work. The isolation tank/Psychedelic work was independent from the Dolphin work. I've read Lilly books on both. Conan seems as deep as a bathtub.

Hahaha...the Dude is great! I'll bet he learned all those cusswords from the fucking dolphins!

Actually, Lilly WAS trying to figure out electronic means to communicate with Dolphins. I've been a Lilly fan for many many years. He was a remarkable man. I highly recommend to all those who have an interest in the brain/mind and cosmos to read every one of his books at least once. Some are quite worthy of a second or third read.

Injecting LSD is just faster than injesting. In any event don't use that crap unless you want to become crazy too.

I met John Lilly after he had switched to Ketamine. He was one of the great Scientists of the 20th Century. Hunter Thompson's eulogy for Tim Leary equally applies "He is forgotten now, but not gone."
Why such a misleading title? If it's to attract more views you can hardly do better than "Jeff Bridges talks about taking LSD & communicating with dolphins on Conan"
