Finds a new species then smiles on camera after killing, dismembering and dissecting the creatures. I see why aliens don’t want to talk to us

First of all I'd like to commend this team for being the kind of folks that wouldnt hurt a plant. Thats important in reaearch, as we've absolutely discovered and can probably all consensus on. Second, wow. Im so happy there is actual things coming out about the deep deep deep, sea that is.
I like the space exploration kind of approach it looks like you all are gravitating towards. I believe the sea is like the collective conscious on the indicator side. While outter space is like the collective consciousness on the signifiers side. So any time something big is happening with our waters, its an indication if something thats going on with us humans ie humanity, hen to pen, as a whole. The discovery of new species that are more than micro, is a big big deal for humanity. I need to know everything about these creatures. Whee can i keep up with your reasearch friends? Oh yeah, this is a segment, i got excited there. I'll follow the info in the piece? Thanks so much for sharing!
