On: Do Elephants Have Souls? (2013)

[modzu]

what? this is like asking, do elephants go to heaven?

isn't the proper question, phrased scientifically (albiet a nascent science), whether elephants have consciousness?

EDIT: skimming the article i see it's quite literary so i think the choice of words was meant to reflect more humanism than merely saying "concsious" would capture: ie, meaning or purpose, emotion, etc

I don't know if elephants go to heaven, but I do know how you can tell if there's an elephant hiding under your bed:

Your face is pressed up against the ceiling.
