I have gotten an extremely science oriented upbrining, so I have the biological picture of humans as animals and as products of the natural evolution. One of the very highest vakues that my parents had was holistic objectivity, so I have always watched the human animals and the evolution from the point of view of my unusually great capacity to objective thinking. One truth that one then sees, is that there is absolutely no difference betwee the human and the animal nature. Humans are just tool using animals, not the only ones who use tools but ones who have taken the tool use to the extreme..Education, which is in my eyes one of the main things that separates us from wild animals, is just one tool among the others, one more artificiality which obscures our view of our own animal like nature.

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE VERSUS HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
I know a lot about the human thinking ability. Its base must be the same as that created by the evolution: that is the base of all our functioning. So it must be the base for our thinking too.
The essebnce of thinking is to form a picture of what our living environment is. So the task of thinking is very closely connected to the task of the senses. With both thinking and the senses we form a picture of what the world is like. The base of thinking is in sure perceptions of the world – in perceptions done by the senses – and the task of thinking is just to imagine baserd on the sensed experienced what the world as a whole is like. So the thinking consists largely of the use and organisation of memory: everything in its right place in the whole: right place in a landscape like seen view of the whole world, things in right proportions in that picture and right things taken as the starting point in deducing what the rest of the world is like.
In addition I kno3w from my own experience that t

NATURAL LEARNING OF OBJECTIVE THINKING
The normal way to learn things that is in our nature, in the animal nature, is by via gesture language to copy the mode of action of an another one who already knows the thing. So why do not animals learn intelligence from us this way? If animals are close to the nature, close to their instructions of usage they should be very intelligent at least in social things. But the sad truth is that we humans are not intelligent: most of us do not know at all what mode of action brings human like intelligence. In fact many have just memorised lots of things during their lives and act basedf on them, not based on human like intelligence. Because of our ignorance wer use very unefficienct ways of thinking: if others, like children and animals were to copy them, they should copy to the extreme, losing their sight of themselves, before it would produce any effect. That's why animals do not learn our ways: WE humans are too stupid! But if one would be more straightforward and more thorough in what one does, one could learn the right mode of action for each thing and teach it aölso to others – like I am by my character very straightforward and can teach intelligence via gesture language to both humans and animals.
From my own experience I know that the right mode of action for objective thinking is very much the same as for gardening work: a very practical mode with clear visual, spatial and practical (=hands ready to move objects!) attention in practical things in front of the body and in addition a landscape like view of the rest of the world. With that mode, just imagine the thing to think about in front of you just as if you were seeing it really this very moment – or as well as you can remember – and watch it with your eyes and maybe move the things in it with your hands, hear the sounds, smell, feel, taste,… That way, if you do not add any imagination but are just like in a gardening work, you get as sure observations as possible – sure observations that are a part of your holistic landscape like view of the world, and that is just what objectivity is about!
