I love this thread



No you dont. There isnt a you or the thread to love. Love doesnt exist either. Its just an idea, but without people to describe those ideas, they don't exist. Haven't you read the thread?



There is no thread

well the brain processes memory and experience. or memory of experience, rather.

and that can spark other creative ideas. and form new ideas. and it's not just humans that posess creativity either. animals need to think of creative ways to win over females so as their genes don't become extinct. and ways to acquire food and competetive practices and the like. creative ways to survive etc.




:thumbup: Well put.

if it's not creativity that separates us from animals, what is it? are we just more creative creatures? creatures just as creative and intelligent enough to associate symbols with thought and a wider-range memory to be able to learn more from our mistakes..



IMO it's also because we as humans have a greater capacity to actually be conscious of our ability to create and a center of consciousness away from out creative/intellectual faculties whereas animals tend to do so in more of an action-reaction sort of way, more involved 'in the moment' than consciously deciding to react one way or another and what effect their choice may have.

well yeah that's what i meant by the larger memory span thang

and i guess the awareness of being aware. like awareness of your own self-awareness. but even we didn't know this until we were told so by someone else

nothing -- because we are animals

far too much confusion has resulted from people failing to realize this

well there's no doubt that we're at the top of the food chain... and there's a pretty big gap between us and the next leading member as far as intelligence/creativity goes :shrug:

we made cars and science :einstein:

and cats are just figuring out the wheel (yarn ballz)

More good wording there too, bro.

I think it would have been MUCH easier to glean such awareness of our own being aware on our own without being told back before humans dominated the planet then it is now.

But even today when we're told about it once we find that place within ourselves it's unmistakable the difference it makes and the role this 'piece' plays in the whole of the human psyche.
