Absolutely true.

Also, domesticated dogs show indications of lower intelligence and memory than wolves. They don't have to plan complex strategies to find and kill food, anymore.

The difference between us and dogs is that we DO still need to make a salary. Dogs live in a lap of luxury where their needs are guaranteed to be handled.

But humans need jobs, and jobs need to capture value from society. So we do actually still have to stay sharp, whatever form "sharp" takes.

		You and dogs have the same job, which is to please the boss. The boss then takes care of you like a child, either with a paycheck (with which you can pay servants to supply your earthly needs), or directly if you're a dog and lack both thumbs and pockets to hold a wallet or a phone. A domestic dog would die left alone in a forest, about two or three weeks after you would. If you're an entrepreneur, your job is to please the customer and to squeeze your vendors and employees. You still take little to no part in directly taking care of yourself, except as a hobby. Unless you want to be congratulated for wiping your own ass or lifting a fork to your mouth.
