Just as the title suggests (hehe), I was watching a YT docu about the “Myelin Sheath” Solution to the Fermi Paradox, and the presenter suggested that (for this video) he’s ignoring oceanic based intelligence because “good luck smelting metal if you’re an octopus, intelligent invertebrate though you might be…” Which got me a’ponderin’ on wether or not anyone has thought to explore how a sentient being / civilization / advanced intelligence would circumvent this barrier.
I’m huge on sci-fi of all ages and flavors, except my general preference seems to trend towards newer works, and I would appreciate suggestions on the newer end of the spectrum if possible. Thanks!<3
