Inside the minds of animals - Bryan B Rasmussen 

why don’t they make buildings

Same

@@arvinathallah8330 Because although their trunks are helpful, hands work far better. And they don’t need shelter the same way we do.

@@arvinathallah8330 would that then prove they are intelligent? If so, then ants, birds, termites, bees, wasps, beavers and a vast number of other creatures would pass the intelligence test as they create buildings or so called structures as homes.

I don't even know what i ate yesterday

+Eugene Khutoryansky Yup. Also, I think that linguistics can show us just how different grammatical structures can be - and can really push our limits of understanding when we find languages that lack what we consider to be 'core' features - such as 'left' and 'right'. Before we can even begin to understand dolphin language, I think we need to better understand their lives in the wild - to understand what sort of information is important for them to communicate.

+Eugene Khutoryansky The fact that dolphins aren't wearing the labcoats is proof enough that humans are the more intelligent species. We have deengineered, understood and reengineered the world around us in ways that other species aren't intelligent enough to begin trying. We found ways to feed billions more than nature could naturally support. We've build contraptions and electronics which work long after we've left them alone. We've split the atom. We know what the moon is. We've figured a way to get to it and back. When the next asteroid hits earth, we will have seen it months in advance. One day, we will colonise another planet. Meanwhile, there's some evidence that dolphins can tell jokes to each other. Dolphins are soooooo intelligent. If a dolphin ever thought humans are dumb, it's only because everything that humans do goes completely over its head.

+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky true lmao isn't intelligence the ability to abstractize thoughts and scenarios, to comprehend and solve problems, to predict and to adapt...etc etc ?

+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky I smell a vegan...

+DarKMaTTeR Yes, but humans are also idiots. Every species in nature before us has known how nature works, and has kept it running. Then humans come in, having no clue how things in nature are supposed to be, bring invasive species to habitats to destroy them, and cause millions of species to go extinct. And Dolphins, elephants, monkeys, and many other animals are very intelligent. Plus, we can't tell if they have a way of organizing things like a government, because we don't know their language. Plus, many species understand human language, but can't speak it because their voice box works differently. So animals have the intelligence to speak English, but lack the ability to make the sounds. Humans on the other hand, could easily speak in animal languages, but we lack the intelligence. So unless your measuring intelligence by how an animals voice box works, animals are probably more intelligent than us.

On the night my cat died her back legs were paralyzed and she was covered in her own puke meowing in what was clearly recognizable pain and fear until I went over to comfort her. You can't tell me she wasn't feeling something, that she wasn't scared that her legs weren't working. I can't prove anything has consciousness, but if I believe that I'm conscious then I can't be so childish as to believe only humans have it.

Yeah dduude

@GlitchLemon rickroll?

That cant be true. Something else must be happening behind the scenes

I also believe animal are conscious.whenever i am sad my parrots start talking to me in low voice( they can say a few words) when i am on call they also start to talk lol.i had a parrot before who flew away( was really wild one) his cage was open for an hour when i came back and saw i started looking as we have cats in our area and are always after my birds.i saw my parrot on nearby tree he looked straight to me for like 5 minutes and then flew away.like saying hey I am going and it's not the cats that took me.my parrots really like cashews and when I act like I am eating those they come close to look while slowly saying mama and her eyes get angry looking when I don't give her.when I act like I am beating my daughter they start to shout lol when someone comes to take money they see and shout lol everyone be like ohh they understand.when I am sick they don't say anything at all.Ah and whenever I wear new clothes or something they haven't seen they come close and start to shout as if asking where are you going?my parrots also like to eat whatever I am eating.

Wow 😮

ROFL!!!

BrimstoneCobra We've been taught, that a good research is finding more questions than answering them. You have better understanding of the subject now :)

BrimstoneCobra haha :) the end was brilliant

R Ca not literally zombie, but they dont think while doing something.. just follow others, never questioning about themself, just like zombie

No what is meant is that you can't rule out the possibility that you are the only conscious being in the universe. Sure you can ask your neighbor if he is conscious but he could be lying and is maybe just a literal robot.

R Ca same i'l probably have nightmares:(

R Ca You know that they are not, because this man was able to suggest something from your perspective. There fore, unless you and him are the only thinking beings, this cannot be possible. And since I can respond to that thought, rest assured, everyone is a thinking creature. (:

R Ca Ikr

Excellent theory

You right

Or maybe because you can't even have a conversation with them ? The only thing animals think about are eating, sleeping, and reproducing.

​@@marcomarco7750.... Cats and dogs can think things out. And they are smarter then you think.

@@marcomarco7750 It's so easy to debunk you but it's not like you're intelligent and will listed to actual science. The only thing you think about is eating, sleeping and reproducing so we can't have a conversation with you

+Abdizamad Mohamoud lol, if you're getting your info from the comments of a RU-vid video, I'm a little worried for your well-being. People don't always have to link a 12 page article of proof of information. People should just be able to have conversations about topics with or without proof of those topics actually being true. And you shouldn't believe just anything you hear without question, either. It's just common sense.

but did u know they can't ask questions in sign language

Simply complex.

have you tho?

Sotrue they have a huge ego

Same

Ok

dogs don't have a conscience, feel guilt, or have empathy. So, it is most likely that the dog sees you as pack leader, detects some kind of distress when you are crying, and goes up to you for its OWN comfort and security, because if there is something wrong with the pack leader, it might threaten HIS food supply or safety.

I agree. It's just constructive intelligence that has lead us to this state.

Birds are so cute when they try to put weaves in 😁

😂😂😂

lmao

Facts, just sit next to them

The paradox is: if we still didn't understand how our very own brain works, it must quite complex or actually quite simple.

That makes zero sense since you and your choices and thought ARE your Brain. There is no such thing as you vs your Brain when it comes to thoughts, because they're literally the same thing

+Quinton Ayers lol really? They just don't have that much of an idea of social bonds and as long as they feel well in an enviroment they'll stay there. You think that's inhuman? Well i don't have a very hard concept of that either, but i still remember people and can have friends.

***** no i don't think it's inhumane i just think its funny how we just capture random animals and they love us. it was a joke.

Quinton Ayers oh lel yeah it's kind of silly but pets like cats and dogs have "evolved" to be pets.

I love this comment

+GarketMardener i wouldn't say evolved but some species can have co beneficial existence. For example the fish that clean shark mouths, humans have that with animals like dogs, cats and horses. Though they are now less useful to us we still keep em cause what kind of person would leave his best friends behind? 😝

?

was he asking what colour he was?

Sounds like it.

That's actually heartbreaking ):

If I remember correctly he also said something along the lines of “I love you see you tomorrow” to his owner

It's pronounced octagon

I think that both are correct.

@@fatorangebastard you are late by 2 and a half years

theres a word for that????!!!!!

@@rachelvirgo2053 there is

That's right. Humans are so selfish and arrogants. We always think that we are the most advanced etc. I hate when i think like that, like other humans. The mental difference with other earth creatures and humans is that humans, as you say and i totally agree is that they just have the rational part of their brains advanced. So wise words man... :,) bravo !

+Chris thelordkoukoulet did you already checked the site Truthcontest and read the present? Pretty amazing book

Agreed..

no, but i will definitely check it out! :D wow im so glad that i found some open minded people over here... its sad to see many zombie people today. This channel totally cheered me up!

yea

I've had similar situations happen to me too but not when I'm sick. Usually happens when im sleep deprived. I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not actually awake it's just a bad dream during a deep sleep cycle.

also when some dog owners brought their lonely dog to a animal shelter to pick out a companion to bring home it chose a cat and the dog and cat live together even today.

Who says Animals don't get Hobbies? Hobbies are a behavior that we Humans can afford when and because we have all our needs satisfied and have time and energy to spare.

GrimeArchive Probably. Though I think primates have come close. Humans are different because we think past the physical now and question what was here before and what will be here in the future.

Parrots can be trained very well.

"I'm qualia."

then u must be smooth brained

I'm sure. I've seen a many a smart dog in my life. They immediately tell I'm eating tasty food { & haven't met me before } tho have yet to somehow find a way to politely ask me *IF* they can have a small piece. 🥰🐕 😋🥡

+django chubbinz I've seen animals outsmart people with style and without giving a single shit about it. It often makes the animal earn more respect than the person, at least my respect. Intelligence is complex, as everything else in life, but this one in particular is extra complex. Stop calling intelligence one thing, in absolute form.

+django chubbinz There are plenty of experiments that have proven the creativity of certain animals

My dog knocks on doors too...

+underfire987 yes and no. most animals are not "smart", like flies. but smart is such a human oddity. most things in nature only cares for what works and what doesn't. but se no reason for most animals not having feelings and consciousness. even bugs have primitive feelings, i know because I have seen them despair.

Nekogami-Crystal all life is intelligent, even the simplists bacteria have more intelligence than our best computers ( because they have the ability to have self preservation and survive on their own, computers still cannot do that). all life is important and intelligence is an arrogant view path, can we really say humans are smart if we build weapons to kill ourselves off and sit arrogantly thinking we can outlast nature?. creativity for example is not viewed as important in our societies now adays and math is put over it. however it is creativity that has saved humanity from extinction several times and not math based intelligence.

+underfire987 Mathematical problem solving is creative... so you're just, like, hating on all the humans today? Try to grow out of this phase before too long, it's not as admirable as you likely think :)

smartest is border collie...

dolphins don't have a sense of right or wrong

@@chrisjoshua69420 What are you trying to say?

@@VerumOccultum that dolphins are smart, beautiful creatures that are vital to the environment, but that don't mean they have morals or capacity like us humans. that's what i meant.

@@chrisjoshua69420 How I've come to understand it is that each person has their own idea of right and wrong, but life is bigger than our ideas about it. What I've seen in documentaries about dolphins is that they are self aware beings like humans. When intelligence reaches a certain threshold, I think the result is self awareness.

@@VerumOccultum so dolphins have morals? i have yet to see a single dolphin do that

+Wisið winilíkó. Plants are also just another form of live related to us by the tree of live only seperated from us by a few hundrets of millions of years and the human habit of organizing everything into neat and seperate categories

Null Null, did you just essume the talkers gender? You said "he" so you think that person is man?? Shame on you for assuming such things :)

RealationGames Rationally, everyone knows their dogs don't understand them. I hope so anyway. We don't talk to our pets like that to communicate. We do it for ourselves. You can't say everything you're thinking to another person. But that limitation breaks down in the face of a creature that doesn't understand you. So you can spout on about any old thing mostly to hear yourself talk. Furthermore, dogs may not understand sentences. But the have been shown to well understand tone and intention. They can tell from the way you talk if you are happy or angry. They even respond to depression and more complicated emotions.

lordundeadrat That was included: "and you can talk to them for fun" I've heard people say that they actually think that dogs understand everything they say, but just cannot talk.

***** Using that logic, I do insane mental math daily, too, as I drive my car. I'm able to predict where I'm going to be, where other cars are going to be, and am able to avoid crashes by finding the best solution to a problem.

***** But do they understand what they're doing? It's one thing to mindlessly carry out an operation, it's another to understand it, and it's truly a sign of intelligence if you can find problems with it and improve upon the process.

***** Just because a plant's actions can be described with sophisticated mathematics, doesn't mean the plant understands it. My daily routine can be described in French, but I still won't know French.

Plants, in fact, do not do math. At all. And also, please start spelling and using grammar properly.

Cathy Bailey me using proper spelling and grammer on the internet? hahahahaha XD

Yeah, humans are very stressed out and paranoid animals lol.

+methylDragon I see what you mean: I don't think you're misinterpreting anything. The distinction you're making is pretty nuanced, but I think the "hard problem" involves both. "Whether" a nonhuman animal experiences a given state, and "how we can know" whether an animal experiences such a state. THAT nonhuman animals experience states is a given for philosophers like Nagel and Chalmers. HOW WE KNOW (or don't know) those states is the real problem. In other words, it is both a problem of matter and an epistemological problem: Does a fish feel pain? Who knows--probably, but the real question is, what is the fish's experience of the feeling of pain? This we can't know, because according to some, experience is irreducible to measurable quanta. In my view, the "hard problem" is a way of pointing up the limits of scientific investigation to produce answers to basic questions.
