An owl does owl stuff.
A human does human stuff.
A human cannot do owl stuff.
We could pretend to do owl stuff (See 'Dr' Alan Partridge’s pellet production ;) ) but we would never know or understand what it is we’re doing as our frame of reference is exclusively human.
I think that part of what it means to be human is to embrace our abilities to question the fuck out of everything. IMO that’s the human thing: the questioning, the exploration, the adventure. It’s about the journey not the destination. It’s what sets us apart.
Self is subjective and adaptive. You are your decisions, your environment, your preferences, dislikes, loves etc, etc. If you don’t like it or recognise it, change it. You’re the only person that can.- "what it means to be human is to embrace our abilities to question the fuck out of everything" you mean like science?moldero
- No. Question the scientists conclusions, results, theories, evidence. Science is a process, not a position.Morning_star
- You could argue that humans can't NOT do human stuff. Everything we do is by necessity true to ourselves.sarahfailin
- not if you are divided and conquered from within. if you brainwashed and give up responsibility like a nazi. your true nature is weakness to your true selfyurimon
- I don't agree Yuri. To survive is being true to your 'self'. That may require subordinate behaviour. That's about as true or instinctive as it gets.Morning_star
- society creates and illusion of this because we can make it what we want and not mold into it like sheep to other who control banking. thats why i dont agreeyurimon
- typo. others who control it I mean. so its not real survival, conformity. manipulation, illusion and real survival is different.yurimon
- There is no external illusion. Whatever a person experiences is real, whether it's on the African Planes or the Boardrooms on Wall StreetMorning_star
