Many types of primates display self awareness.
<:npc:502497359419408384> and clown world has shown me half of America isn’t conscious.
In what way
U need id to be self aware
They can recognize themselves in a mirror and use the mirror as a tool.
They do not merely see “another monkey”.
We can all agree herbivores don't
I’m tempted to say consciousness is a rare quality in humans that people should be trying to prove they have.
The kind of people who vote democrat and like the last Jedi clearly have never used their brain before.
Yes some animals are capable of recognising themselves in mirror and understand what death is but they dont perceive time still
It’s all instinct driving them.
They cant make long term tools
It's nice to say you are vegan for the animals but then go out into the world and stand on insects
So if a human suffers from a disorder where they no longer perceive time as you do, are they no longer conscious?
Such disorders exist
Was it invented by a psychologist
If they lose ability to make algorithms they become practically non human yes
Body is human but behaviour isnt fundamentally
They were all invented by psychologists🤷♂️

Basically animals are schizophrenic humans
To put it short
Again. It all depends on what you mean by conscious, and what you value.
No animal is conscious the way we are conscious.
No human is conscious the way, for example, a dog is conscious.
Dog isnt conscious
U must be able to reflect ur actions to be considered consciois
To reflect action u must think in concepts
Put men on an island and they'll build shelter. Put women on an island and they'll sleep in the trees and bathe in thier own shit
Which is language
If we had the olfactory sense dogs were capable of, we’d look at primates and say “pfft they can’t even smell what their neighbor is doing today or was doing yesterday. With that deficiency, how can you call them conscious?”
Wrong
Thats not what makes us humans
Smell is one of the senses
Its official boys
Ive found the picture which best represents Scotland
We live in a society
