I looked at many "onions", and have few doubt that those are 'spoof'.
Very funny. I liked very much the one on al qaeda :)
Be careful because spoof does not entails necessarily false !
I have to go (busy day), so I might comment other posts later.
But let me ask you a question (for the derivation of physics from
arithmetic): have you any idea of what is quantum logic?
Best,

"The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but Can
they suffer?"
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832)
Ah, so consciousness is both more difficult and more important
than intelligence!
I don't think it's more difficult - I think some very unintelligent
animals can suffer. Of course there are different kinds of
suffering. I doubt that suffering pain requires human-like
consciousness,
OK.
but suffering existential angst probably does.
A funny (or depressive?) video, on a team of scientist explaining to
a gorilla that he will die:

I think it is a sort of april fool, though.
Animals know angst, but probably not the angst of angst. You might
need languages for that. I am not sure though.
