Primitive emotions: fear, aggression, anger. They do

What do you think prevents them from experiencing
simple things like that?

I suspect the same thing that keeps them from doing differential
calculus or studying philosophy,


How stupid of you.

No, stupid ****wit.




****wit: the lack of human capacity.




As yet we have no reason
to believe they can't experience pride just as well as anger,
or envy, or fear.

Yes, we have ample reason to believe they can't experience pride,


We have none.

We have ample reason, ****wit: they give no evidence
of it.




****wit - they give no evidence of it.


Some of them give plenty of evidence of it.

None of them give ANY evidence of it.


And you lose again.

No, ****wit. NO non-human animals give ANY evidence of
experiencing pride.


Yes they do

No, they don't, ****wit. You're just too soppily
sentimental not to realize it.
