does something have to have emotions to be alive? lots of simple organisms don't have emotions.

I know you're talking about consciousness and i'm talking about aliveness, but it popped into my head as an interesting thought.

there is something like to be a bat, but what about a gnat? does a gnat have emotions? it still is alive and has some kind of experience though right??

    in a non-gangstery/political and more creative industries sense, fixers are also people who for example may know a city or country, who producers can turn to for local knowledge and connections, if the producer doesn't have their own connections that they need to do xxx yy zz

    yeah I always think that like an ant is an order of magnitude 'different' to humans, so much so that they kinda live in a 2d world just droning and sensing themselves about and they can't even consider us and the world that we live in and experience.

    We live on the same planet and same conditions, and have that much variance between us with regards to experience, intelligence, and of course physiological aspects etc.

    'Life' out in the universe could easily be an order of magnitude different to us humans, who's to say we can even comprehend the 'life' even if we may be staring right at it.
