Default Re: Something I've been thinking about

Reality to a Mosquito is represented differently than reality to a human. Differences in the senses, in perception, and in cognition are obvious. Both live largely within the same reality, the only time at which they are seperate is where they themselves pick up. Basically, a Mosquito lives in relation to a set of biological processes which belong to "mosquito" and a human lives in relation to a set of biological processes which belong to "human", both of these things constituting part of reality. Of course Mosquitoes still live in the Human world and vice versa, but access to certain parts of objective reality are existentially unique. You might say something similar about the relationship of human beings to other human beings in terms of epistemic access.
