This should be stickied to the RF front page. Save us all a lot of repetition.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Why are you limiting it to mammals? Why not just animals in general? You know, spiders, fleas, snakes, flies, all those uncute animals that we're so much like (not).

Yeah, that is the point that you had to make in caps. It is a feeling!!!

Because if I start talking about ants I can see more understandable objections. You're talking about mind, reason and will, denying them in regard to other species who have a cerebral cortex. What is your answer to my question?

My answer is that's one reason why I don't have a monkey for a pet.

Huh? Given what I have posted in #621 how do you manage to deny an orangutan can reason or have will? You made an all-encompassing claim - all non-human animals.

You know why that orangutan made the news? BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWS WORTHY STORY. We don't make the news just for reasoning about medicine or whatever, because it's not news worthy. We do it all the time.

And orangutans reason and have will ALL the time - so it's not newsworthy. So the cerebral cortex functions described above - you're saying this is incorrect? viz -
"The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals It is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system, and plays a key role in attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, and consciousness. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for cognition.
So do many animals.
It's news worthy because it isn't observed very often. It is however pretty certain that the orangutan is not unique in its behaviour

On what basis do you reject this? :
"The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals. It is the largest site of neural integration in the central nervous system, and plays a key role in attention, perception, awareness, thought, memory, language, and consciousness. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain responsible for cognition."
That doesn't make you (or them) correct in your assumptions..

LMBO it means just what is says. It's akin to people saying, there are no absolutes. Think my friend.

Very good. You're superior to sharks and every other animal.
Humans are superior though.
How do you know they live "well" without it? You know they live without it but the "well" part is just your opinion, unless you're dr dolittle.

Right superior to the other animals.
