Whatever you think an animal ‘is’ — changes the meaning of every other token you possess or apply. Therefore, errors in this form of thinking (identity) infect every other aspect of our intelligence, often recombinantly (multiple recursive instances of the error ramified within each token and assembly of them).

Conversely, even the slightest correction to this token has the opposite effect: an explosively contagious optimization that spreads like wildfire throughout your entire lexical intelligence.

Please, don’t just think about this. Accomplish it. Particularly as regards insects, animals, plants, living places, and ecosystems — because all of these are intimately linked to the character and function of human intelligence… or at least, what’s left of it at present. And what we think is our intelligence is tearing them… and our minds… apart.
