Is a higher level of thought possible?
May 11, 2019 at 2:45 pm
When we think about a more intelligent being that us, we think about about a being who is more capable in terms of reason, faster and better ideas, better comprehension, etc. Basically a human brain on steroids.

But I have been thinking, is it possible to have a higher level of reason/thought?

Imagine 2 planes: one in which we humans are. On that plane more dumb creatures (animals) or smarter (aliens) exist. But on a higher plane, there is a creature who has a completely different level of reason. One in which is not only smarter, but also one in which its ideas and thoughts are superior. By this I mean of a different nature.

Do you think it is possible? And if it is, could we perceive it?
