No. That is actually not possible. 25000 years of co-evolution calls bullshit on that. Anybody who has lived alongside a dog and actually been awake during that experience knows that to be utter nonsense. If this sort of negation is the end result of the amazing work in the Ted talk I would chuck in the garbage bin. But I don't think that is what dude is really heading for. Nothing personal. Nonsense though. Zero waffle factor.
