When did WE know?
You're reading this now. Well, that means, that you can understand what I'm saying, and you could probably reply, or acknowledge this.
A cow. A cow, is a big, fat, no-6th-sense-sensing ruminant which just moos. Well, I think, only most of that is correct... I'll tell you why.
Imagine this, aliens, who consider themselves having the 6th sense, come to
Earth and see about 7 billion weird looking two-eyed two-handed two-legged organisms scuttling along, doing exactly what every other person is doing... Getting up in the morning, putting some weird long stick into their mouths, getting into a really fast thing and going to a building, and doing exactly what all others are doing, tapping on some plate and staring at a light source.
How do we know, that the-very-very-apparent-same bark your dog gives has a meaning, a difference from each other bark it gives. We look at dogs (generally) as large-eared four legged animals, which have a very funny similarity between each breed. Who knows how the aliens will generalise us? How do we know we're talking, not saying some very-very-apparent-same sound every time we talk?
How can we say that animals can't think, talk, work and solve logic as complex as we do? How do we know what animals regard us as, when they see us doing something? Who knows whether animals have a kind a statute of secrecy among themselves while they do activities, so that we don't know they're intelligent, and we use them as slaves?
It's all unknown, and if you've read my previous blogs, you'd probably know the known is really what we want to know, and if we set our mind to a concept, we'd never have an authentic look at all the things around us. There could be a world working under us. They could be beyond us. They have succeeded in not exposing their (probable) secrets, of their different existence and civilisation. What I think, is that we need to open our minds, and probably think the way they think when we treat them in different ways, to achieve trust among species.
