What? {Nick} You one of them humans can't follow Simi speak. That's okay. This is why the Simi don't bother talking to most humans 'cause, no offense, you all weird. Some of you even stupid. Real stupid. Like stump stupid. It's the lack of hornays, I say. See, only really smart creatures have hornays…except for them moo moo cows – they not bright. But akri says there's always an exception to every rule. So they would be the exception to the hornay one. But they taste really good so the Simi will forgive them for bringing down her bell curve of superior intellect over all the other nonhorned subspecies. {Simi
In the quoted excerpt, the character Simi expresses a critical view of humans, suggesting they often fail to understand her speech. She finds humans to be quite strange, with some being exceptionally foolish. Simi attributes their lack of intelligence to an absence of "hornays," which she believes is a sign of superior intellect. However, she acknowledges that some animals, like cows, are exceptions to this idea, despite their lack of intellect being humorous.
Through Simi's perspective, the passage highlights her unique worldview, where intelligence is linked to physical traits like horns. Her humor and disdain for human intelligence reveal a deeper theme about perceptions of intellect and the absurdity of judging worth based on arbitrary characteristics. This commentary invites readers to reflect on how such assessments can lead to misguided stereotypes, illustrating the complexity of intelligence across different species.
