Haha, this is exactly what I was trying to convey but they kept saying b.s. like "we're different because we have a soul" or "There are no animals with the ability to have an imagination".

While yes humans are the most intelligent species that doesnt make us not animals, not sure what wasnt computing there. Louisiana gonna louisiana I guess. This also may be a generational issue I think.
