For your enjoyment I highly recommend ¯The moral tribes, The better Angels of Ourself and The selfish gene, If after all of thet you still feel like a simple organism with no free will I don't know what to tell you.

2017-12-24 12:36:40 +0000 UTCThe second channel I found after starting watching youtube after Darkmatter2525.. While an unbeliever I do not consider this to be important because I don't care what other people believe and do not try to change others to think like me. I admire Logicked because well I like his logic. He does not demean other people and in fact often presents their side more clearly then they do and then dismantles it. He would have made a fine lawyer. I binged watched all his videos starting the day I found them. I would love to see him do some political ideas what he does to religion and people who do not understand evolution or science. Everytime I hit return it thinks I am done. Sorry. Anyway I am glad I can support this channel I think it is worthwhile and also thank you for guiding me to Magog of Morskars comedy channel. In response to Jack of Tears it has been a fear of some people in science that other lifeforms more advanced then ours would view us the way we view plants or simple life forms.

2017-12-22 23:52:58 +0000 UTCYou talk a lot about conscious decision but do humans consciously decide anything or are our behaviors entirely controlled by reactions in our brain? What you consider consciousness has been argued to be neurochemical behavior and we are merely organisms responding in predictable ways to stimulus placed (or not placed) upon us. Humans could be considered the simple organisms of the universe and other races never even stop to wonder whether we think because what we imagine to be thought is beneath their notice. From our perspective they are incapable of what we'd consider thought but that's a rather limiting definition.

2017-12-22 23:43:06 +0000 UTCThe only argument I think you could use on the topic of whether microorganisms think is to imagine how a species a billion years more evolved that we, might use the same argument against classifying us as thinking beings. "Humans? They don't even respond to 5th-7th dimensional polyforms, their behaviors are completely controlled by chemical reactions in their brains, how could they possibly be considered thinking beings?" Within the limited world of microorganisms, bacteria might be considered great thinkers.
