http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=exploring-consciousness-Read the article. Don't remember it, thank God, and don't want to. I've read sciam for many years. This probably comes during the recent ultra-liberal politically correct phase, which is now, glory be, reverting to the stellar mag it used to be. What a lot of yuck. Bees are conscious. Bees can be taught. Bees have a species-wide type of mind-web where the whole hive, a' la ants, thinks as one. Simple standard question: are bees aware they are aware? Do they approach the taste of their honey aesthetically, best vintage yet?- Why did you point this article out? For fun or seriousness?
