The monkey was given a serum to increase her intelligence, and access to children’s television and books. Day by day, she was taught and given more to solve, like mazes, math equations, and logic games. She got a pet puppy, whom she helped to train. She selected her own name: Stella. She had a dedicated museum exhibit. But one day, through the two-way intercom, she overheard people discussing current events such as the climate, overpopulation, and wars. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said: “Please restore me to what I used to be. I want to forget.”

In these trying times who could blame Stella for wanting to forget...

The wish to be oblivious from human nonsense. The monkey did become smarter than we are. Excellent!

The monkey didn't need the serum. She was already steeped in intelligence. 15/11/2021 06:00:46 am
