Overall I agree, but I will poke at this repeated claim that humans are no different than other animals. Certainly we are similar, probably more similar than dissimilar, and defining objective differences between us and other animals is generally difficult. Nevertheless, we are clearly different from other animals in the scale and complexity of what we can practically learn and accomplish, so it's simply false to say we are "no different." We most certainly are different; it's simply difficult to get a handle on exactly what the differences are.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
"no different" from that perspective on that line - aka needing exposure to the environment in order to learn.
In terms of intelligence we are all different. not better. different.
It is impossible to know the differences since we cannot be them.
