    We think we are able to. Prove we aren’t just fancy biological computers. No one has proven what consciousness really even is yet.

    If the quote was “a million microbes”, maybe you’d have a point. But it’s monkeys. Our closest ancestors. What we are one step removed from. And y’all trying to act like monkeys are robots and were transcendent beings made of energy or some shit. We’re animals, just like them. Slightly smarter, but animals. We are the monkeys.

      We’re apes, not monkeys. If you’re going to suggest we aren’t humans, at least get our taxonomic family right.
