A good point.. Thanks for sharing. This is what I wanted to convey in the first place, but like some of these angry comments state, I should have provided more logical proof than stating something as a fact..

Experiencing the world around you is not just happening through the brain, though it is quite vital for us humans to perceive things, it can happen without it too, and it is happening. We can never know what the conscious experience of being a bird is, we can only equate a bird's biological responses to human terms, and get an experience out of it.

If the brain is where it's created, then I'm genuinely curious as to where sentience in nature stops.. As we walk down through the stages of human evolution (and Earth), at what exact point do we say this is where conscious lives emerge?

Like Carl Sagan once said, it isn't foolish to revere the sun and the stars for we're all their children
