Rearrange these words into a sentience
Consciousness
Feelings
Emotions
Are trees sentient?
You must be barking…
Cogito ergo sum
Is Descartes’ argument
Based on doubting everything
Except his own thoughts
Animals were excluded from thinking
So they had to be machines
But now we know more
About chimpanzees in repose
They are just as capable of thought
As you or I
Because they have brains
So is it just vertebrates?
Observation would say otherwise
An octopus is pretty smart
But do they have consciousness, feelings or emotions ?
