Planet of the contextless apes @apesgone - Tumblr Blog

Planet of the Apes(the old one) just activates the free serotonin glitch in my brain. For a spam of 10 years I've read the og book, watched the old movies series, the tv series, the japanese tv series, the cartoons, read the comics and even the fancomics. So many of them absolutely SUCK but something about the vibes and the campyness just makes things worth it. It has so many great and terrible ideas all mixed in a really confusing soup. So I've decided to make this blog to share mainly funny things about the series. I hope you'll like it. Maybe I'll also reblog cool ape photos and art too.

"You can say that [orangutans] are not dependent on social support and approval, and if you admire this in them, that an orang is irredeemably his own person, 'the most poetic of the apes', researcher Lynn Miles told me once in an unguarded moments. What she had in mind was the difference between orangs and chimps in the way they carry on their discourse with the world.

Chimps are much admired for their tool use and for their problem-solving relationship with things as they find them...the orang is, let us say, not so replete with enterprise. Give an orangutan the hexagonal peg and the several shapes of hole, and then hide behind the two-way mirror and watch how he engages with the problem.

And watch and watch and watch--because he does not engage with the problem. He uses the peg to scratch his back, has a look-see at his right wrist, makes a half-hearted and soon abandoned attempt to use his fur as a macramé project, stares dreamily out the window if there is one and at nothing in particular if not, and the sun begins to set. (The sun will also set if you are observing a chimp, but the chimp is more amusing, so you are less likely to mark the moment in your notes. An orang observer has plenty of time to be a student of the vanities of sunset.)

You watch, and the orang dreams...when casually and as if thinking of something else, the orang slips the hexagonal peg into the hexagonal hole. And continues staring off dreamily."
