'You're an average everyday australian who has no verrified knowledge and everything you say is complete bullshit.'
Chimps use tools, tools use and critical thinking go hand in hand. Chimps have been shown to kill for fun. Show to me that chimps, which can think critically, don't do so when/if they kill for fun.

" I am not disappointed that the attempts to find human-like consciousness in apes have failed."
Happy I gave you a source.

Critical thinking:
intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action
Tool use in apes and more specifically learned behaviour in relation to tool use can absolutely and accurately be described as critical thinking.
your source is not relevant and has no bearing on the argument of whether an ape can think critically. Which it can and does as it figures out how to open a box using a tool.
