No, he's like that guy, that douchebag that thinks he better then everyone, that asshole that never let's you live it down because he gave a ride home, and that dude that secretly beats his wife all in one godly package.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

yeah like the douchebag asshole that crashes a perfectly fun party by tormenting the party goers. Then asks for a ride home when he wakes up from hang over and revives a party guest and controls him to get a ride back home then punishes his girlfriend. while all in all people are to afraid of him to say he is a fucking asshole.

The thelamus is a switch board or relay station of sorts. It sorts and directs signals.

You are trying to describe the neocortex.

And again no other animal aside from Humanity has such a complex family structure. Even liberal rags like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/wonder...mily.shtml agree on this fact

Being unique one of our hallmarks is the demand of worship/Directed or controls placed on expressions of love and respect from the older generation to the younger ones.
For you apes it is ok to smear poop on one another, not so much with jr. smearing poop on G-pa durning thanksgiving dinner. Even if Jr. is doing it to show that he loves g-pa.

Philosophy from antiquity and from a 12th century clergy man doesn't trump modern science.
This may be enough for you, but it's no proof.
