DAVID: And what a difference there is. Animals make noises with small brief meaning, and use body language for the rest of their communications. We speak, read and write esoteric thoughts. No comparison. Different in kind.

dhw: Of course our language is different in kind. And infinitely more advanced. And it is a product of our advanced consciousness, just as chimp, chicken, dolphin and ant languages are different in kind and are products of their less advanced consciousnesses. We seem to be in agreement.

Yes human consciousness different in kind. Thank you.
