Yep they just hang out and do wtf they want to do. They’re not going to work and having politics about whose turn it is to make coffee, or why Will should never have got promoted over Kay. Really they’re the smarter species
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
Maybe their version of “rule the planet” involved mostly just hanging out in their den and thinking interesting thoughts.
