Sterility kills sex drive, and sex drive is instinctual

Animals do not comprehend their sterility or sex drive

They simply *respond* to it

^ das true

Love, even in humans, is fabricated from the point of view of sex

Attachment is instinctual

Love is not

Love is something we made to give meaning to the attachment

Mourning is not instinctual

I would argue that Elephants, and Some primates and Cetaceans are also capable of sentiency

I *heavily* disagree

They are capable of basic consciousness, i submit that

But sentience on the level of Humans? No.

Studies have shown Cetaceans may be capable of more intellegence then humans

Based off the fact they have more complex and larger brains

Wow

You really dont know biology if you claim thay

Complex Brains are not linked to intelligence

Brain size is wholly detached from intelligence

"Are Whales Smarter Than We Are? Cetacean brains, such as those of dolphins (left) and humpback whales (right), have even more cortical convolutions and surface area than human brains do."

By that logic Sperm Whales are the most intelligent form of life

They have the largest brains

Which is clearly untrue

Sperm whales have the largest brain... *not what I said*

Read any study, for the love of god, brain area does not correlate with intelligence

"Are Whales Smarter Than We Are? Cetacean brains, such as those of dolphins (left) and humpback whales (right), have even more cortical convolutions and surface area than human brains do."

it makes no sense that sperm whales would develop an intelligent brain

like at best they would be on par with dolphins but developing an incredibly complex brain like humans would just be a waste

Doliphins are capable of emotion, and communication

And it is indeed proven that the human brain alone is the most complex *thing* in the *universe*.

I seriously doubt that

i'd disagree with you there

because you cant compare a brain to a star

Complexity is subjective

it's just like comparing apples to rocks

Complexity is how humans look at it

Im arguing there is no animals as or more intelligent as humans @L0GAN

I can agree with that

But

I dont care about intelligence relative to humans, i care about intelligence on par with humans

animals are capable of being sentient and intellegent in ways similar to humans
