I notice that the PETA thread has turned into a debate on self awareness.
People trying to logically nail down why WE(humans) are self aware and THEY (animals) are not.....
HHHhhhhhmmmmmm....
The sun shines, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Out come the antelope to eat the grass.
Do they understand the rich diverse life forms working beneath the soil to provide the substance of their meal?
Do they bother to ask why the grass is green or brown ? Do they study the types of seeds?
No.
They eat the grass.
They are antelope, it is grass.
The lion hides in the grass.
He waits for the antelope to come near. Then he does what ever he can to kill and eat the antelope.
Does he ask, why the antelope eats grass?
Why the grass grows tall enough to hide him?
Does he consider the vectors of the chase?
Is he concerned with the antelopes friends and family?
Does he wonder how it survived the droughts?
No.
He eats the antelope.
He is the lion it is the antelope.
That's how I sum it up.
Expect nothing different from animals.
You can count on them.
People?
We're animals in body only.
If its chemically driven or physically based, it animal.
The human part, in my experience, is fluid.
It requires a soul to channel it.
To bind it to the animal.
The human part belongs someplace else.
It is from someplace else.
Cause it damn sure doesn't come from here.
And its too difficult to handle by yourself.
Its beyond our bodies and above our minds.
Trying to hold on to it...
that's "self aware".

Don't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.
