“Psychological self-awareness is this idea that you as an individual can become an object of your own attention,” says Alecia Carter, an evolutionary anthropologist at University College London. It’s a hard concept to measure in other species, in part, she notes, because “it’s also difficult to imagine not having that kind of self-awareness.”
Hmmm... I didn't know about this until now. I learned something today, and that's good. Thank you! for this article!

Purely intellectual pursuits are not totally useless. Anything that fosters creativity and imagination can be in time.

I agree. Just so you know, it used to be common courtesy on SN to zap people on replies when discussing a topic. That doesn't seem to be done as regularly lately so I can't zap as frequently on replies, especially when it's not reciprocated. I have been courtesy zapping people for more sats than the post itself gets!
