Dean Jackson likes to indulge in many not realistic at all, but fun to think about conspiracy theories. There is one idea, though, that Jackson refuses to call a mere theory. He believes it is apart from the daydreams of children; separate from the ravings of scantily dressed, addicted to various substances old men. He believed it is fact. Dean Jackson believes that dolphins are sentient. And not only this, but their minds are far ahead of our own! You see, there is... minimal evidence to support this theory, but that’s what makes it so believable. The dolphins are highly intelligent, but they lack human’s greatest evolutionary advantage: thumbs. Although able to answer philosophies most important questions through the ages, they cannot construct such weapons as we, making them all but defenseless should we turn against them. For this reason, they stay hidden. The dolphins we see are only a minute fraction of the millions below the waves. They’re the scouts - the watchful eyes always on alert for any possible human transgressions.

Jackson hopes that one day, the world will be ready to co-exist with the dolphins... but today is not that day. And so, the kicker keeps his knowledge to himself. With him, the secret of nature’s most fishy mammal will remain.
