Hi good evening. I just started to listen to your audio. I noticed the statement that humans are the only ones to ask the question why. We have vocal cords to actually ask why using vocabulary words and syntax, but I believe animals actually ask that question every day to survive, the challenges of nature. I'd like to give an example or two. There's a video on CZcams showing a orangutan watching a baby bird in the water drowning. The primate sat down next to the water and watched some more as the bird continued flapping its wings but remained in the water. After a few moments, the orangatang took a leaf and attempted to scoop the bird out of the water. That did not work. Finally the primate grabbed Bird by a wing and pulled him to safety placing him gingerly on the ground. The orangutan then got up and walked away. Another example is a small cat on CZcams who was watching a puppy dog fall down a small cliff. After the cat watches the puppy for a few moments it then climbed down the cliff, grabs the puppy by the Scruff with its mouth, and then drags the puppy up the cliff to safety. Koko the gorilla one evening ripped the sink off of the wall of her enclosure. The next day , the scientist Penny who was caring for her and teaching Coco American sign language asked Coco, did you pull the sink off of the wall.? Koko the gorilla replied, in American Sign Language, I did not do it, the cat did it. Referring to her pet cat she had named ball. Eventually her pet cat got out of the enclosure and got hit by a car. when Penny the scientist told Coco what happened to her pet cat in American Sign Language, Coco said sad bad and mad. I think Coco died last year. She met a gorilla online before she died named Michael and they had a baby together. Coco said she picked Michael because she liked his fur and once her baby was born, she fed her baby and started to teach him sign language right away . the first American Sign she taught her baby was, more, for more food. so I think there are many examples out there where animals use reasoning and a big part of using reasoning is questioning why events take place. events that are relevant for their well-being, for their safety, for their happiness and to avoid pain and suffering. but the examples I gave go beyond that. These animals incorporate compassion and empathy into their decision-making and then take action. Isn't that beautiful? beautiful examples in the animal kingdom of the manifestation of Buddha's nature. of course cause and effect happens in the inorganic Realm example chemistry. I'll finish listening to your video now I appreciate your time and your video have a good evening
You're demonstrating compassion among animals, as well as their grasp of trial and error, but not symbolic reasoning of cause and effect. There's a Japanese scientist who demonstrates that chimps can solve problems through trial and error, and that their memories, both short term and long term, are more accurate than human beings. But they don't grasp stories. Chimps can understand what they see. They can even experiment. But they can't boil the reality of their experiences down into principles that persist under change of model. Although there is evidence that some apes in the wild are currently in the middle of a stone age revolution. Also, the authors of this book are not the people who uploaded this summary.
@@dragonsmith9012 Have you red "Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" That book describes: 1) how chimps (and some birds) have a long memory of years recalling events. Example in the book of crows memorizing faces of people who captured them year after year. 2) They can learn also via induction (not trial-and-error). Example in the book called Grapefruit experiment.

Can you please do more economics and business summary 🙏💖
Will do!
@@QuickRead Thanks 💖🤗😄👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Skips lot of content from Chapter 7 onwards where it starts getting confusing for the reader. not a full proper summary
0:50 "cas-u-al inFERence" ?
You mean caus-al INference.

Lol I don’t really care
@@washedtoohot you should.
@@trombone7 yeah you’re right.
