@T_Ferguson "If a human pre-mirror invention saw themselves in a mirror it would freak them the hell out."
Possibly. Impossible to say without a time machine. But considering they most likely noticed their reflections in rivers and ponds long before they invented mirrors, they probably wouldn't be completely freaked out. Also, to be 'freaked out' is vague. Cats 'freak out' in a way when they see themselves in a mirror. You think a pre-mirror human would react the same way as a cat?
 
"Even plants KNOW they are alive."
I'd like to see/hear some evidence of this please. Also, define 'know'.
 
"They strive to stay alive, and to reproduce.  Pretty damn self aware."
These are literally the most basic instincts of every living creature. Along with eat, drink water, and sleep. It's wired into their DNA, it doesn't mean they are self-aware.
 
"Well.. bless your heart."
Don't be condescending. It's rude. If you are so intellectually superior as to use that phrase, then why not explain it? Here's the sentence again:

"One day perhaps humans will be self aware enough to realize that basically every living thing is self aware."
I was trying to not be insulting. But as you've done it I won't bother. This is literally one of them most stupid things I have ever seen written. How will humans becoming more SELF AWARE, which means aware of oneself, help them to realise that 'every living thing is self aware'. Reply
