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

@Timeward

Being human is about being greater than your biological imperative. Music being a good example

I’ve seen an elephant paint.
I’ve seen a pig use a computer.
I’ve seen a dog sing.

Or to simplify it more human is more than his biological body

Those are not product of thinking its just triggering of instincts

Scale I've seen them all too my ex was multi talented

Lol

U just encourage behaviour in animal through rewards and punishments

As in humans

No

I mean

How do you learn to paint?

U draw shit and look at it and perceive it as shit and try to draw better

Someone gives you paint and brush when you are young.
When you paint well they pay you on the head.
When you paint shit they don’t.

Animals are incapable of such analytic process

Leftists are human but they aren’t alive.

If no one ever praised you for it, you wouldn’t know what was “good or bad” painting.

They are non player characters who exist simply to fill space

Children arent fully developed humans

It took hundreds of thousands of years to go from cave painting to Rembrandt.
That represented hundreds of thousands of years of positive and negative reinforcement.

But they have biological setup that makes development possible

Animals dont havr it therefore they cant learn language and such

Life is suffering
