<p class="MsoNormal">I would say this relates to the reality (or not) of first-world problems. Humans that thrive in the first world must form (or be educated to acquire) higher-order representations. Psychologizing is one process that leads to higher-order
representations. In an artificial deep neural network, the neurons in the higher layers represent more and more abstract interpretations of inputs that have be presented, but it can take hundreds of thousands of neurons and dozens of layers.
<br>
<br>
One might imagine pets that have fewer neurons and less connectivity amongst neurons could still develop higher-level representations provided that these adaptations did not interfere with other essential information processing functions -- keeping in mind
the most important function for a pet is probably anticipating the meaning of human signals.
<br>
<br>
Anyway, we'll make great pets. <br>

Yes, Glen and Marcus. Very interesting. <br>

But, "Do animals psychologize?" <br>

"Even in your example, we might notice that even though there are N licenses<br>
doled out, the deer population continues to rise. It would be<br>
over-intervention to simply issue more licenses. Perhaps the people getting<br>
the licenses are mostly an aging population who don't hunt much anymore but<br>
have some semi-automated approach to getting a license?"<br>
<br>
A population estimation input comes from tagging stations relative to issued<br>
licenses by category of deer, so they can & do close-the-loop by way of<br>
enforcement. <br>
The population estimation techniques require some assumptions, of course. <br>
