"We tend to think of our selves as the only wholly unique creations in nature, but it is not so. Uniqueness is so commonplace a property of living things that there is really nothing at all unique about it. A phenomenon can't be unique and universal at the same time." |

IDK the answer but I can tell you it wouldn't take very much in the way of observation to figure that out!
We think we are sentient beings. Which also means we are species-centric and infinitely gullible!

"The need to make music, and to listen to it, is universally expressed by human beings. I cannot imagine, even in our most primitive times, the emergence of talented painters to make cave paintings without there having been, near at hand, equally creative people making song. It is, like speech, a dominant aspect of human biology." Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/q...oma470028.html

Whenever I am thinking that I am doing or experiencing something unique, all I have to do is look around the internet to find many, many people thinking or experiencing the same thing. This has happened often enough for me to realize that regardless of the unique abilities we may have been given (or developed or evolved or whatever we choose to believe about this), we all seem to use them in a very similar manner. If there is one thing we all do have in common, it is thinking that we are unique. Tony

Nah. Much more complicated than that. The ID, ego, and superego interact and modulate one another in a very complex way to produce inner experience and behavior. The id is the first that appears, developmentally speaking. So "the id runs the show" only in immature or regressed individuals. According to the theory....

As *I* have said, we humans like to think that we are rational creatures, but the reality is that we are creatures that can rationalize just about any goofy thing that enters our brains.

I guessed wrong, but as others have pointed out, it's hardly an original observation. I respond with, "Compared to what?"
ETA: I'd like to note for the record that the average human has an IQ of 100. So, to the quoted gentleman in his cozy ivory tower many standard deviations to the right of the mean, I say, "Well, duh!"
