The interview with Dan Gilbert provided numerous interesting and surprising insights. The one that caught my eyes the most was the information regarding birds' ability to create predicitions and adjust their behaviour based on these expectations. Some birds like corvidae are able to create decisions based on ‘predictions’ of food availability and placement later in the future as tested by human ran experiments. This is very surprising as I thought that no animal would have remotely similar predictive capabilities as humans.
