You strongly disagree that other intelligent, social, creative animals are built along similar lines to Homo sapiens?

You really think that we’re a special case, that a difference in degree has become a difference in kind?

I personally experience a feeling that I’m conscious subjectively, but I have no evidence that I’m any more or less motivated by pleasure or pain or community than a dolphin is.

Where do we draw the line? What’s the acid test for “yup now we’re dealing with consciousness”?
