ehh? I would not have considered such a weird application for dip Moving on, it seems you find the distinction of having thumbs to be a/the deciding factor in human development and evolution. It seems you find the definite and describable to be sufficient for explanations of beingness. To be, however, is an infinitive. How do you consider infinitives without finding such explanations to be deficient. It certainly is not lacking in clarity but is that enough? You can declare, 'you are' and be very precise in what that means, and what you will be (worm food) and be very certain that you have covered the issue adequately. You have to set aside the idea that you are your experiences as much as you are your biology. You have to ignore that you are also your potentials and your regrets. There is an unending menu of courses that would fairly account for what it means 'to be' the person you identify as solon. To provide an explanation regarding the meaning of a human being which is as concise and as simple as to have lucked out by accidentally evolving opposable thumbs before other evolving creatures, seems dismissive and overly simplified to me under the circumstances. You may view my broadened perception of being a human being (an infinitive) as overly complicated and imprecise...worth exploring, ehh?
