Mike in "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" was conscious! 😁 Of course I believe all the critters (🦆🐂🕷🐛🐝🦔🐧🕊🐠🐢🐍🦀🐚🦗🐞🦑🐌) are sentient, which is why I'm a vegetarian. Since I consider humans to be a critter, too, it's probably a good thing I don't eat meat! 😅
Thoughtful piece. If I could channel Jane Austen she would have me remind you that she penned the book Sense and Sensibility when Hollywood was still a desert. 😉 I would have more than one answer to your poll. Consciousness abounds. Animals don’t have the messy ego of humans. Which is why meditation is so life giving. It diminishes the ego.
“I wonder if Newton or Einstein interrupted people all the time and reminded folks that what they were considering was a ‘hard problem?’ “ haha right?
Glad you are feeling better Mark! And to see the poll results so far. Of COURSE trees are conscious any tree could tell you that!

Eye In The Sky was perfect pairing with this topic!
But I like that movie? 🙂 Also orcas. And beetles. And science!
