Lesson 2: Humans and animals resemble each other in many ways.

Rene Descartes was a French philosopher in the seventeenth century. Although he discovered some brilliant philosophical facts, he also came up with a rather disappointing concept – that animals were resources to exploit for the development of humans, and they exist to serve humans such as robots. 

Naturally, the convenience of this idea was enough to make everyone adopt this philosophy. Since then, people alienated themselves from animals more and more, creating a society based on consumption and making us lose our sense of connectivity with them .
