007 Come to Spidey

Do you think cats know they're cats? I wonder if animals are aware of what they are. Like us being aware we're humans. I'm pretty sure Pillow thinks she's human. What with her hogging the bed and laying her head on my pillow.

It is my humble and 100% correct opinion that humans are only aware they're truly human a really, tragically, depressingly low percent of the time! If only for the sake of preventing the fluffiest of existential crises, I pray cats are more aware of themselves as a species than we are!!

You know you cannot have a "correct opinion", right? But I'll reassure you that I am aware I'm human.

[heartwrenching]

No, no, no I think I can! I feel them with the certainty that I feel knowing that the grass is green and the sky is blue!! Surely we can agree that these are facts, right?! Even the teensiest of spit-covered babies can generally agree to that! So it stands that if my opinions are nestled so very very snugly next to such titans of fact as these, they gotta be true themselves! That's just logic!

Surely you know what I'm talking about, since you sound so convinced about your own humanity!

Oh my god.

[heartwrenching]

Oh, but God and whether or not he exists - or if he is a she or a they or if I should've been capitalizing any of those words - is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT philosophy altogether! Bringing that touchy subject up so soon?! How daring, how bold!

[speterman]

Alright. You're only supposed to capitalize it if you're saying it as a name. I'm pretty sure...
