People know that they think rationally and hear others report that they do. But research shows that conscious thought is just an explanation of decisions we make subconsciously.</p>\n<p>Many of the differences in behavior between animals and modern humans make us look irrational:</p>\n<p>- Always being obsessed with sex, not just in the mating season.</p>\n<p>- Taboos against eating certain foods.</p>\n<p>- Caring for disabled children.</p>\n<p>- A higher level of drinking and substance abuse.</p>\n<p>- Being a savannah species but hiding in a cave all day.</p>\n<p>- Educating children by locking them up and hiding reality from them.</p>\n<p>Defining rationality more broadly so that it applies to us would make it difficult to exclude animals. What makes us unique is having languages with complex grammar and a generally random relation between sound and meaning, so that we can talk about anything.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3nu3lmcp","appParentAuthor":"littymumma","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |

Animals generally don't think rationally like humans.

While we are very good at building things, animals are much more concerned with \"making do\" and \"having a good time\". </p>\n<p>They are very much alive and aware, like us, but of a somewhat alien mindset. They don't ascribe artificial value to objects like we do. You'll never find a dog that prefers money over food, because food is more useful and important in every way. But they do dance, and sing, and play; and basically they live much more fulfilled lives because they only care about \"animal\" things. </p>\n<p>There are some cases of animals, such as crows, who are capable of ascribing artificial value to objects, but that's really just an example of different priorities for different types of species. But in all cases, the most important thing to remember is that humans are animals too. We're made out of meat, just like everybody else. So on the basis of that fact alone, yes... </p>\n<p>Animals can think rationally. </p>\n<p>Have a good day. :) </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f3nu3lmcp","appParentAuthor":"littymumma","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
