The deep emotional and psychological connection between human animals and other animals can be profound. Many people have a deep emotional valuation of nonhuman animals they connect with, and even see their animal companions as the most important others in their lives, more than other human-to-human relations they have. The nonhuman animals are their life, and often the animals share […]

Human animals aren’t the only ones who have a comprehension of fairness built in. I had recently done a post on how babies can grasp concepts fairness and correlate it with sharing. Non-human animal minds are often compared to that of a child, and we can find fairness in the animal kingdom outside of the human animal. Ravens are recognized […]

Most of us have a common sense to prefer to deal with others who demonstrate that they are fair, reasonable and can possibly be helpful as a result. Those who demonstrate unfairness and irrationality tend to be people that will not help us find solutions because they are incapable of doing so.

People are convinced that perpetuating their own self-enslavement by voting masters to run aspects of their life, is a “good”, “moral” and “responsible” action. Trying to negate this reality with direct truth often creates the backfire effect where people reject the deeply contrasting and contradictory truth in favor of their attached falsities. They think they are good, especially doing action […]

The naked eye for discerning reality can clearly see there is a fundamental difference between plant life and animal life, at the very least. Here are some discernible classes of living things we have come to understand with the help of technological instruments. Can this reality of differences in life forms be seen […]
