Mrrz:

Your attributions are quite definitive, but in light of your skeptical perspective about consciousness I wonder how it is you have come to these conclusions about what animals think, or do not think. I just don't see where you could get such certain conclusions from about their internal processes.

I am sure there haveen times in your own life when you were busily reflecting on some situation or oher, with all kinds of variables and possibilities, while you were physically doing something quite mundane and semi-automatic, such as walking down a road or chewing on lunch.

What evidence would an observer have as to the depth or lack thereof of your internal world at that time?
