[split] Hello everyone

Yes, all sentient beings know pleasure and pain to make survival of the fittest possible for them.

Then at what level does sentience drop off the animal scale? Dolphins, whales, apes, monkeys, cats, dogs, squirrels, shrews, birds, fish?

I really do not know but the obvious is that evolution proves this to be true in even plants that all seem to know how to prosper and survive where they are found, and are different by design so that they can.

I think Aristotle called our body a byproduct and Plato (or Homer maybe) defined our language as race, taking us all the way back to animal much like John said in his preamble of chapter 1.
