True, but remember humans analogize all life forms to
   themselves. seeds = embryo, dying flower = dying human. If it's
   a life form, it's analogized in some form to a human, even
   bacteria. flagellum analogize to human limbs... etc

   If it doesn't analogize in some way to humans, we don't consider
   it life at all.

   So, all organisms cognitively are strange forms of human.

   But anyway, that's CogPsych stuff, not directly referring to
   Spengler there. Just me going off on tangents tongue emoticon
