[Dan] We are human beings; everything we perceive is colored by our human-ness. Other animals perceive the world accordingly. In my opinion, it is arrogant to assume our cultural mores extend to non-humans, kind of like dressing up a dog. It might be good for giggles but it makes no sense. Thast's why RMP suggests drawing a boundary, imo.
[Krimel] Odd, it seems arrogant to me to assume that much of anything about us is radically different than what we see in other species. We are a product of natural selection and the same rules apply to us as to every other species. Comparing our social manifestations to that of other species, looking at how they arise from similar conditions and serve similar functions seems, what the word I am looking for... natural. On the other hand assuming that we are unique seems to me, what's that other word... supernatural.
