Sentience comes from being embodied. We're not just our brains. The nervous system is intertwined with the rest of the body. There are some thirty million neurons in your gut, and bacteria there can influence your mood. We don't learn about the world primarily from a bunch of tokens. We do so by interacting with our bodies. Language is a kind of additional ability we've developed.

- kordlessagain 4y agoYes. There should be a flag for it maybe, but I suspect this is the new normal.
