just had a scary but cunning thought
i was going to post it in the "Thought of the Day" topic, but some incredibly powerful, sexy, and wonderful God of a man locked it.
anyway, here it is, its a beauty!
i was looking outside into the garden when i was thinking of life. i looked at a plant ive got on the window right text to me when i though: "what makes me different to this plant?". Well, i thought, and i tried to think as organically as possible and then i had conjured a thought. Its part mathematical, part philosofical and part scientific.
Anyway, as i was saying, i thought to myself, " i am not diffrent to the plant because both of us live and die, the fact that one of us functions entirely different (apparently) from the other does not make us different.
So what does? Then i thought it had something to do, with what we do.
Here's the thought: "The more powerful an organism is toward the existence of another, the less his impact will be if his kind are no more".
Get your head around that one, its quite simple, just decypher it infront of a plant.
lol

?
How are we different from a plant? "We think therefore we are" A plant has no way of knowing "it is". Thats how we are different. Philosophy 101. Thats what makes being human so much different from the rest of the creatures/life on the earth.

They are self-aware, but they don't have concepts of self-awareness, pay attention mr. Derf. The thing that differs humans, and to a limited extent some other man-apes, from other animals and vegetables is the possibility to think of and work with abstract concepts.
Of course, all until proven otherwise. But it dopes seem unlikely. I do believe that we're monkeys tho, but very smart ones.
EDIT: lol, well ok, some other man-apes and some dolphins.
