dhw: Like you, I agree with most of this, except for the following gross example of human self-centredness:
> 
> “Only a human being thinks or has emotions or has perceptions. Brains don't think or emote or perceive. Brains do organ things. People do people things.”
> 
> Other animals think, have emotions and have perceptions, and other animals do other animal things.-Not to the degree humans can, by a vast gulf.
