That's the catch though. That's the difference between humans and other animals. It's less about the actual experience of, say, learning to live on your own, than it is the experience of reflecting on the fact that you're having to learn to live on your own. Or that you'll, one day, be eaten.

- spoofball 10y agoSelf awareness is present in many mammals. Not just humans. I'm not really sure how we can think of giant leaps in cognition when evolution never works like that.
- mirimir 10y agoOK, he seems to want less of that. Drugs seem like a viable option. Or maybe the right spiritual/religious beliefs.
