Explain HOW there is an “instinct” to deny “we are warm-blooded, vertebrates that produce live young."
-
First give citations. WHO, specifically, denies (1) humans are warm blooded (2) have spines (3) give live birth ?
-
I’ll be pretty amazed if you find someone who denies ANY of those 3 propositions, much less ALL 3.
-
And unless the tendency to deny ALL 3 is extremely widespread, it would be absurd to call it “an instinct."
-
@iwpoe “An instinct to deny we are mammals” seems PATENTLY ABSURD as a claim about human beings. -
Maybe I misunderstood you, but honestly, this seems like one of the silliest things I’ve ever heard.pic.twitter.com/gCwrDArw1R

You have. I have clarified now.

He makes no claims about other mammals' spirituality. Just about human distaste for seeing selves as mammals.

But you are a mammal & historically we have denied this so I find it interesting & valuable to finally be exploring it.

The great chain of being with man situated between the angels & the beasts is our most culturally familiar narrative.
-
And I find it very interesting how others mirror this. We're 'more' than animals & this 'moreness' is spiritual.
