>>9114795
Yes

>>9114795
Any animal with a Brain Thinks. Because Thinking is a process that happens in All Animal Brains.
However the thoughts inside a Cat's Brain is much more primitive than the thoughts of a Human Brain.

>>9114795
What do you mean by "think"?
A lot of animals make decisions based on their past experience, learn from them and change their behaviors depending on them.
Some make decision that are illogical or "crazy" in that sense, because they usually go against the learned or imprinted logic of most animals, is that not an index of thought?

Is a cat conscious?

>>9114824
I think it's more of spectrum, partially I'd say. But then consciousness isn't a specific term, so you could say yes or no or partial.

Cats are psychopaths, they just want you to think they love you.

You guys will literally find ANY excuse to shoehorn race into this.
Is this a distant cry from your subconscious anon? Do you feel so inadequate with yourself as person ,you constantly have to tell yourself others are more primitive?

It's not clear yet. Maybe a better term is "abstract thought".

Why is it so wrong to say "blacks on average have a lower IQ" im not saying all whites are superior to all black but the research shows that o average blacks do have a lower IQ

>>9114906
I agree with you. But what it has to do with the OP question?

>>9114914

There's nothing wrong with saying it, it's just that its an idiotic statement.
When you say "comparing blacks and whites" what exactly do you mean?
Those two terms do not belong in the realm of genetics and would be better suited for the realm of pseudoscience and lay people.

Once you have cleared that shit show, you would have to find a test which factors into account cultural differences as a accurate measure of intelligence.

If you had asked "Why do African-Americans perform worse than Caucasian-Americans in ___ test on average?" that would have stimulated decent discussion on social science.

>>9114925
Doubt it, but we would need to experiment and calculate a confidence interval based on the statistical data

>>9114941
Why do blacks perform worse on math tests then whites when both black kids and white kids have the same curriculum and same teachers?

>>9114941
By black, I think he or she means "sub saharan ethnic groups".

Black and white cats are objectively the cleverest.

>>9114946
I'm going to assume you're referring to American. My main bet would be differences in socio-economic status in the USA.
>Family members who went into higher education vs family members who did not
>Tutoring vs lack of tutoring
>Differences in family dynamic

I could go on, if you're actually interested try looking it up in the Journal of Social Sciences, I'm sure someone should have looked into this.

Does my dog feel true emotion? Guilt, ambition, etc? Or does he act purely out of self interest?

File: 1489305990504.gif (2MB, 374x219px)

2MB, 374x219px

>>9115110
Dogs evolved with humans. If they feel guilt etc is controversial but I think they do. Our dog would behave oddly if he had done something wrong, even before we knew what had happened.

Dogs also dream.

>>9115110
A mix I would say.

>>9114874
>Race = Sub Species
Why is science education failing us so hard?

>>9115110
Nietzsche asked the same thing about humans. He wrote several books on the topic. He claimed that even people who donated to charity, went to church, and built homes in africa did so because it made them feel good and they wanted to ensure they got into heaven.

that aside, I would say all of the above are true. Ive seen my dog smile when I take her to a lake. She used to pull me around on my longboard when both her and I were younger (im 28 now) and I would guess she felt proud having a job only she could do, or something akin to it. she loved it and I dont think because it was in her own self interest to be in pain afterwards and suffer knee injuries as a result of it.

Ive also watched my dog hid her toys near a field and when I discovered it there were 5 different balls placed neatly in a line arranged by height and she was moving over the smallest one to make room for a new one.

What is the difference?

>>9115110
are these things mutually exclusive? can one not fell emotion and act purely out of self interest?

in reality ambition is a form of self interest. Guilt is also self interest. Do people not commit crimes because they will feel guilty afterwards or because it is in their own self interest to avoid legal complications in life?

I dont torrent because I feel guilty about it, I dont torrent because it is in my best self interest not to deal with angry ISP letters

When i leave town for extended periods my dog stops eating for about a day and is very low energy. if it were a human i would call this sadness or depression, but since it is an animal it is only acting out of self interest and probably wants to just loose a few pounds

>>9115218
>it is only acting out of self interest and probably wants to just loose a few pounds

Are you mocking me or is that something that can really happen? I know dogs will eat until they're obese so it seems strange that some would know they're too fat and stop

I would think your cat actually likes you, cats become friends with each other even though they don't give each other food, and even more importantly, some cats also seem to hate each other for no apparent reason other than social. But also what if love in the first place is made up to keep perpetuating your DNA, and cats are hard wired to love whoever gives them food. Guess there isn't much of a difference.

>>9114837
Since cats were never domesticated, they have no actual love for their owners, and merely use them for food and shelter.

Dogs always prefer their owners to strangers (provided they're not abusive); cats will walk out on you at the drop of a hat.

cuckchan really is retarded

I worked in a the health department of a county government office with lots of conference calls with the state health department. I shit you not - these people no joke, no fucking joke, think being born black is a disability. As if you were to go down to the baby room of a hospital, see all the newborns, and if there is a black male and a white male BABY next to each other - same household income, same neighborhood, same educational opportunities, all else being the same other than skin color - the black baby is literally born disabled. Shit you not - I had conversations with these people and they would say every damn time, well yeah that black baby is handicapped because he's... black... nothing else different than the white baby.

Absolutely can't believe it. They have to have a mental disorder. Just THAT IDEA is so fucking racist and they can't even fathom it.
