If you think about what we normally take as giving life a lot of its meaning -- music, humor, eroticism, spirituality, aesthetics, nurturing and caring, gossip, chatting with people -- all of these, very likely, are enabled by a special circuitry that we humans have, but that you could have another intelligent life form that lacks these.
想一下那些通常我们认为赋予生活许多意义的事物—— 音乐、幽默、性爱、灵性、美学 养育和关心、八卦、与他人聊天。 所有的这些，都类似的由一个特殊的 每个人都具备的电路所启动， 但很可能，另外一种智慧生命形态却没有这些装置。
