Summarization
SigalSamuel argues that instead of asking whether animals have language, we should focus on what systems of communication different species have, and how they are similar and different. Jeffrsebo gives the example of humans being comparatively "oblivious" to the direction and coordination of animals like salmon. SigalSamuel hopes that the Daily addresses pushback against this point. An interesting article by SigalSamuel is referenced, concerning a competition for kids to re-design an Arecibo message to aliens and the risks of actively trying to communicate with them. Finally, it is implied that the philosopher Kant would not agree with these arguments.
Topic Modeling

Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from admiration and awe at the complexity of animal communication systems to excitement about the prospect of redesigning an "Arecibo message" to aliens. There is also a hint of frustration at the pushback against actively trying to communicate with them, as well as a sense of reverence for the philosopher Immanuel Kant.
