Suddenly, deja-vu. I think somebody made a thread about making crows capable of speech, innovation, mathematics etc... a while ago that was awesome.

forgot to mention birth control whose convenience and ingestion are cheap, painless, unregulated and anonymous enough to provide incentive against wire hangars in the alley.

if you want to entertain a human, you only need to give it two things: something to fight and something to fuck.

there are already people who have made vending machines for crows. where if they insert coins they receive a couple peanuts. and the crows have learned not only how to use them but that larger coin denominations give more peanuts.

such machines have proven to generate large amounts of money.

Humans are basically on the top of the tilted trophic levels.

We HAVE to have predators (without much intelligence) to prey on us. If they turn out to be intelligent, they'll just be like humans.

Money could also be spent at developing virtual reality whereby one can upload oneself. I mean, seriously, 2D women are by far more beautiful than 3D women, even with shit ton of make-up.
