Well, it doesn’t seem fair to put the litmus test on english. Why not on spanish? It would be easier for me 😆 And a chinese could put it really hard for both of us. And an alien could make all of us like a chimpanzee.

We can’t use human rules to measure other animals, it has to be something more neutral.

Anthropologists and biologist had made great efforts to find a really neutral way to measure cognition and conscience in animals, and they haven’t uncovered even the tip of the iceberg.

That’s why I recommended Harari’s book; as an anthropologist, knowing the differences between humans and other animals is a key part of his job.
