Why do you think inventions have anything special to offer this thread about consciousness and emotion?
necessity is the mother of invention; and since dogs, whales, etc., can't comprehend the meaning of 'necessity', they don't (and can't) invent anything. i'm trying to establish a proportional relationship between intelligence, emotion, and consciousness.

If invention is a metric of consciousness, then you are unconscious.
I doubt you are as educated as me, and no more intelligent than my dog, you like my dog have both failed to answer my questions.

i think your dog knew it would be pointless to explain anything to you. i'm inclined to agree with your dog.

That sums you up perfectly. A person that shares the level of consciousness of a dog. Pity you are incapable of sharing her emotional sensitivity too.

according to you, that's still possibly more consciousness than you have.
