For sure
nothing separates us from animals
what separates us from the animals is animals are stupid
I am smart

I'm not prepared to say that, Fug. I will say that *most* people exist as sophisticated animals, near solely.
If there's any area that separates us from animals, spiritually, it's philosophy.
it ahs become true
So if a person is willing to engage in philosophy, I'll give them more credit.
Ive reached that conclusion too
If when you challenge their presuppositions they shut down and repeatedly refuse to engage, I count them as animals.
Basically
Id give christians more credit too if they viewed their religion more as a philosophy than some magical force

yes, but you've changed to that
everyone shuts down when you challenge their presuppositions
as a defense mechanism
I am joking btw
@fuguer no
we're not as special as we think we are
Philosopher's don't
Not real ones
They entertain other presuppositions
Other systems
Challenges
etc
Doesn't mean they accept them
But they suspend, bracket, and engage
Yeah but most people aren’t great thinkers
Thereby they can grow unlike most humans
They possess *mind*, in the Aristotelean sense.
A rare faculty amongst the mass.
So, when I'm generous I consider all those to be proto-humans
@WWM can you grow with only a bias forcing you
not the urge to think
what
Can we grow with bias forcing us?
Rather than the positive impetus to think?
yes
