"What is unique about humans?" Humans are conscious of being self conscious, and also reflect on meanings and values.,(reply>), @TheBLACKGAMBIT That may be it! We shouldn't talk too much about animals as we don't know them so well... 🙂<br><br>But here's also a key to the big confusion in these discussions/books/theories: There is the mind and it is called consciousness. But being conscious is another thing and probably can't reduced to the functions of the mind. The mind has these contents, Goff and Fridman mention "feelings and experiences" many times, but not so often "thoughts". But thoughts and experiences are contents of the mind and a content is not conscious of another content (feelings are more states of the mind). There is probably another aspect that can really be called "Consciousness" and that is conscious of the contents of the mind.,(reply>), Right! There's a quote that says animals are aware..but only humans are AWARE that we're Aware lol..which is pretty much what you said!👌🏾
