Unsurprisingly, we continue to learn that non-human animals are less foreign to us than previously thought.
The fact that human beings take a “all animals are savage, primitive machines until proven wrong” POV is genuinely tragic. Was it Descartes that posited the screams of a dog being flayed were merely its programming?
Being surprised that animals so different than us possibly dream is just another form of Descartes’ ridiculous thought.
