Already have. You asked me how I would describe consciousness with respect to the possibility of non-human congnizance. I probably wouldn't use the same semantics when describing species of bird. "Kind" is not a designation of species.
If you would prefer to use "kind" in this way, we can. There are different "kinds" of consciousness. No one expects their contents to be identical. Some are more alike than others.
None of this is instructive, however, as there's still no explanation of how this would be a problem anyway. There's no point in us bickering over something that doesn't matter, agreed? If there is no such thing as non human consciousness, then fine. If there is, I say fine...but clearly this is not an acceptable proposition to you.
Why?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
