The difference between the human mind and an animal's mind is that humans have a bigger prefrontal cortex. But the prefrontal cortex shuts off when we are asleep, so this makes me wonder, when we are dreaming, do we experience what it feels like to be an animal when they are awake? Is this why animals are so retarded in life? Lol.

Interesting...

Humans always experience what it's like to be an animal even when we're awake. The life experience of animals is probably a lot less different from your own waking life than you think it is. And I don't mean that to insult your intelligence; rather I think you're massively underestimating animals.

i figure being an animal would be like tripping balls

I still have complex thoughts when I’m asleep, very similar to my waking thoughts. It’s less intentional, organized, and focused, but still abstract, logical.

>bigger prefrontal cortex

Meme. Neanderthals beat us there and weren't any smarter. Neuron density is the fuel of intelligence from birds or humans to elephants.

Animals don't have language which is already a huge game changer for complex thought. And they simply have less processing power on top of that. It is incomprehensible, the closest thing is trying to remember when you were a toddler

You mean the animals that look behind closet door mirrors for the cat that looks just like them for the 1000th time, or the animals that wait patiently at an open door for you to let them in for the 1000th time? If anything, (domesticated) animals are wildly, obscenely overestimated.
