Truthiness
To some degree I have to admit, Man is something else, Some people would like to believe we are animals or a highly evolved form of an animal, But The deal is, at an evolutionary scale we are, as homo sapien sapiens, Yes, There are actually two sapiens because there are notable differences between what we are and what homo sapiens are...I saw a monkey playing a small harp once.
He was keeping time.
BUT do animals sit around and debate the meaning time,or worry about what time it is.?
Probably not.
Man creates some very complex sounds... language, songs- From orchestral music all the way up to tribal heavy metal., and I think it might help us to communicate what is inside. - In other words, Man plays music so others can feel what is felt.
But where does music come from? Yes the brain and body and knowledge of theory help, but true music or poetry happens as the consciousness expresses itself, beyond what the brain can do through timing and musical mechanics.
Since man also must ask questions about things greater than himself, perhaps the questions and answers are not as important as the feelings behind our thoughts.?
Maybe debate and questions are just another way to help us explore what we FEEL is true?
Being conscious of time is one thing, but letting your consciousness engage in xpression gives true definition to the boundary between animal and man.
Oh my... look at the time. I must go to bed now.
I think I shall sing myself to sleep.
In our comprehension and understanding, How like Gods we are. This is the philosophy, is it not? We do possess a higher cognitive function, But we humans function on an intellectual spectrum. we mumble to ourselves and over generations, we have developed communication, The truth is, Our Knowledge and understanding are Human-like, Animals don't seem to be capable of higher cognitive functions on the levels as we humans are, And Truthfully, It does seem we are a fairly unique and almost awkwardly placed type of life.
We, because of our numbers and cognitive function and ability to communicate and strategies and cooperate, we have been able to overcome many obstacles.
Truly, What Ape or whale is pondering the deeper reason of social interaction between ethnicities. Still, I wouldn't write animals off as Truly inferior to humans. Whales can communicate globally and they have an interesting social structure with regional dialects and everything. Sure, in our form of comprehension, We are king. The mighty unstoppable man.. But, Who is to say, With absolute authority, That a whale wouldn't understand extra-dimensional space better than a Human ever could because of its affinity to follow magnetic fields? The question is, No, The philosophy is, What Makes Human Cognition, The most Venerable or profound? is it because we say it is? Or because we know for a fact that it is?
