Do we need to die for this to happen? 
We’ve fucked it up, let them have a crack
With brains that process information almost like a computer
There are brains that somehow don’t?
Fat chance of that happening with carbon emissions acidifying the oceans.
After humans there’s going to be a race war between the sentiant cephalopods and the corvids
They live for like 3 years. Not gonna happen
Can’t make fire underwater, dipshit octopuses can’t even reach the bronze age
I googled.
Astrobiologist lays out scenario for intelligent life on water worlds
Under the right conditions, could such water-dwelling creatures [as octopus] develop technology on an alien water world? That may be more challenging than it was for our forebears, Schulze-Makuch says.
“Fire can’t exist underwater, and fire is thought to have been essential for humans to develop technology,” Schulze-Makuch notes. However, there’s one potential avenue that he and co-author William Bains explore in their book, “The Cosmic Zoo: Complex Life on Many Worlds.”
“Perhaps smart ocean creatures could use thermal vents on an alien planet’s seafloor to supply concentrated heat energy,” Schulze-Makuch says. “Such energy wouldn’t be as portable or controllable as fire, but the underwater civilization could farm fish without fire, or perhaps use other resources to make tools and technology. As an example, long strands of kelp could be ideal for making rope.”

Anyone read the Children if Time trilogy? I don’t wanna ruin too much but there’s civilization of octopuses that communicate through a combination of strobing skin patterns and interpretative dance and every single one of them is an artist. It’s great.
It is great.
Climate Change eats man…
Octopus inherits the earth…
But can they invent capitalism?
If octopus is so smart why come it can’t play Elden Ring?
So, H. P. Lovecraft was always right: Cthulhu will rule through human demising.
Actually, he thought it was going to be arthropods.
Arthropods are just octopi wearing armor.
Hmm… Interesting premise, this requires further investigation.
Then why aren’t they doing it now? Oh, do you need humans to die out first? Lame excuse. More like Fraudcopuses!
Do we need to die for this to happen?
No, Lus…
If socialist and ecological policies are global, we can co-exist. Key word is on the if.
