I'm beginning to believe in the brain as a universe tuner idea rather than the brain as a self-contained thinking and idea and storage container.

And if that's true and your brain is really sort of a tuner of outside information and that would make sense about how animals behave.

It would also make more sense how an animal with an impossibly small brain like a spider can clearly do things like make webs and capture prey and know to build nest to have babies etc when they don't have enough neurons to compute all that. But if the neurons they do have are simply tapping into sort of waves in the universe that tell them how to do those things constantly then it would make sense.

Under this theory a larger brain would just have different sections that would be able to tune into different kinds of things in the universe. It's sort of like you can either have one antenna that can tune one frequency or you can have 10 antennas that can tune 10 different frequencies that contain different information and that's what a larger brain would do.

You know it's another way to sort of explain ESP and second sense and even the occasional prediction of the future that we all sometimes experience. Or the phenomenon of thinking of somebody just before that person rings you on the phone or knowing something happened to a loved one when they're hundreds of miles away and sure enough it did.

Or maybe it's a mixture of the two you know and your brain is partly self-contained but also has tuning antennas that are you know made of neurons etc. I know there was that one philosopher scientist guy who said the brain actually was a positron tuning device or something like that it's a fairly well-known guy who had written a lot of big books that have been the best sellers.

If you are a human that you are taking care of baby animals and they say are following you then other adult animals of the same species around you will not be scared of you. For example if you got a bunch of baby ducks following you then regular ducks it would never let you get close to them or birds will let you get right next to them.

It's vibes. Not to get all new age fag shit, but animals (including humans) can read the energy coming off living things. I've had a connection with animals my whole life, snow white type shit. The only conclusion that makes any sense is vibes.

Elephants seek out people for help when they are injured. Animals are generally more intelligent and aware than many give them credit for.

animals are around other animals all the time. if one doesn't hunt the other, they will literally go within a metre of each other without a care in the world. if you approach in a likewise non-threatening fashion, they won't feel threatened. however because of your size and the fact u are a predator, every animal will at least be way more uncertain of you than the other usual animals they dgaf about. so the flightier ones won't risk it whereas others will be confused but stay. if you attack it, then the next time it encounters a human, it's far less likely to stay.

Same thing can be said of humans.

We're omnivores

Depends on the nature of the animal and the way the human behaves. Also depends on the prior experiences the animal had with humans.

If you approach an animal and do not look at it directly with your binocular vision predator eyes but instead keep the glance to the side and you're speaking to it as you talk they'll recognize you're not a predator because predators approach quietly. It makes a very big difference in how bothered they are by you

Okay, dude/chump...

1. Grammar is important. This is a text medium and there's no need to write like a complete retard (any more that's a high school graduate but whatever).

2. If it's not grammar and you're just on a phone then you need to both learn how to proofread and stop being lazy about it and then get you something with a keyboard. If being on a text medium is that important to you that you're going to ask actually halfway decent questions, get a keyboard. You wouldn't settle for a phone that drops into static 75% of the time so don't make the same settle for typing.

3. Spend some time around animals that don't live almost entirely in houses. The concept of "help" is not a conceptually complex idea. It is not something that exists only in non-predatory animals. It is something that evolves out of play and play is something ALL intelligent species take part in. Play allows the young of the species to interact at any level they want or need without threat of death. It is in this context that they learn to interact with each other and with other animals (at times) in a non-life-and-death manner. The concept of help extends from this to their own kind and then, by extension, to other species. It is often evolved from the idea of mutual beneficial actions though is adapted as the creature sees fit. Take, for example, a crow. Feed a crow and treat it nice and it will bring you shiny objects. I'm not sure if I saw it here or elsewhere but there's a diver who dives with sharks and started removing hooks from their mouths only to discover that they would bring even more sharks to have hooks removed - she has a collection of over 300 (IIRC) hooks since she keeps each one.

We've even seen examples of wild, untamed, undomesticated animals doing this for humans.

They can do this because they understood the concept of "help" from play. The benefits of actions. As another example, it has been observed that male puppies will let female puppies (not just in domesticated breeds and canines in general) win a share of their wrestling matches because otherwise they'll stop playing.

This is the concept of "'I' and 'Other'" and it is the base conceptual source of empathy.

Animals communicate about their environment and what they encounter. Treat a crow like shit and it will tell ALL of the other crows it meets and teach its young about you. You will be hated by crows for forever. When I go out with my dog in the morning, I treat the birds nicely. If they're there and calling out, I'll talk to them. Like... actually talk. Sure, it seems stupid, but I have crows that visit every morning, several varieties of birds that make nests outside of very specific windows (I'm up to 5 now: bathroom, living room 1, living room 2, kitchen, office - so pretty much every room with a window I can open), and a hawk that guards my garden and runs off the squirrels. When there are deer out here, I don't chase them off or run to get a gun. As a result, they hang around a bit, go up to the house but they also leave my garden alone.

Animals will communicate with each other and they will infer communication about a perceived or potential threat. It's like watching someone you can't speak with because of language differences avoid a spot on the sidewalk or cross the road in specific places.

With animals, it is the same. They see other animals run from you, come to you, or squawk/bark/whatever at you. As such, they all have learned that there are people you avoid and people you can approach and they have all day to watch you and listen about you from other animals so they get a well-defined sense of what types of people will help and can tell just from how they walk, dress, talk because it is literally part of their survival mechanisms to analyze who is and is not a threat.

Animals are not stupid.
