"Part of being human is learning to use the animal within and not supress it. We will never be more than nature but we shouldn't reduce ourselves to less."
Ok, you can disagree. But we create and animals don't. We reason and animals don't. We have complex emotions and animals don't. We have self control and animals don't....I could go on.
Yes, but whales don't know they are creating song. They just do beautiful things without the consciousness of creating beautiful things. It's different. And I said we had complex emotions, which I think are different than interactions.
But we can be more than animals.

DeleteOf course they know, it's created to communicate over long distances. But I guess we'll always differ on our interpretation of man.
DeleteThey know they are doing it. They don't know that it's beautiful. Animals are utilitarian. But yes, we'll have to disagree.
