About Me

"I thought some more about the animals...and this in turn made me think about humans. to be specific, i wondered about what it is that makes humans, well....human. what is human behavior? for example, we know what dog behavior is: dogs do doggy things--they chase sticks, they sniff bums and they stick their heads out of moving car windows. and we know what cat behavior is: cats chase mice, they rub up against your shin when they're hungry and they have trouble deciding whether or not they want to exit a door or stay inside when you go to let them out. so what exactly is it that humans do that is specifically HUMAN?...what is is about our essential humanity that we are expressing with our inventions? what is it that makes us US? ...i thought of how odd it is for billions of people to be alive, yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people PEOPLE. the only activities i could think of that humans do that have no other animal equivalent were smoking, body-building, and writing....that's not much, considering how special we all seem to think we are."-douglas coupland, life after god
