Seeing as how the majority of environments possible for any life to exist in are not environments like the one we live in, in our thought experiment, the majority of creatures which might express higher function as one possible outcome would not be limited to or necessarily related to our thumbs (our biological situation or limitations- or any limitations we might conceive of from our vantage point as humans on earth) - nor any philosophy as we have defined it. We appear to have been man-the wise before anyone ever found the time to sit down and really waste some brain cells on the meaning of life. Just pointing out that philosophy (or the ability to contemplate it) seems to be an effect of higher function, not a cause thereof. Granted, they have the effect of amplifying each other, in our species at least, or so it would seem.
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!
