am i? who knows, maybe society and culture, and everything that we identify as human doesn't actually exist, in which case, i can't identify with it anymore. so, in other words, maybe i'm just a bunch of matter that moves around, and ideas and constructs are just lies.

or maybe thats all real, and we all are human, just because we identify with other humans...

but if thats less than 1% different than an ape, even less different from our closest non-human relatives, and theres tons of variation in our genetic pool, how can that define our humanity?
