People are not attentive to everything going on around them. A higher awareness would need to be the domain of many entities, not just one. Each entity would need to focus on different events and objects. Rats as a group of animals may be more attentive than a group of humans.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 5:14 pmBut I’m not talking about rat awareness.Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 5:06 pmDAM, you claimed:Dontaskme wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 4:58 pm
I never said humans know more. Or have more knowledge than animals. Humans can’t know what animals know, they can only know what they know.
I said humans can only know what they know with the knowledge that is available to them.
They cannot possibly know more than what they know. I’m not talking about the none- talking animals. Why do you keep bringing them into this discussion about human knowledge?
I’m particularly talking about claims such as knowledge of God… which is simply a false claim. Unless one is God.I am objecting to that claim because other centres of awareness, for instance the centre of awareness of a rat, may for all we can know be "higher" than that of a man.There is no awareness of any awareness higher than human sentient awareness.
I’m talking about human awareness..we can’t know if there is any awareness higher than our own.
Why I’ve mentioned the word “ higher “ is because of the false claims made by religion freaks who claim the bible is not man- made, rather they claim it’s from a higher power, namely God.
And I’m saying that’s bullshit, for there’s no knowledge of any awareness that is higher than basic human knowledge. In other words, the bible was not from a higher place, it was from the awareness of man.
I’m not saying human awareness is the highest..I’m saying we cannot know if there is any higher awareness outside of our own awareness.
You’ve obviously mistakenly thought I meant human awareness was the highest, but I’m not saying that if you read carefully.
Is there an awareness higher than human awareness? We simply cannot know that.
But on a ship each crew member is paying attention to his assigned tasks allowing the captain to pay attention to his/her tasks (or sleep peacefully).
