The physical self, its borders, its needs:
From the very small to the very large organisms, what would happen if each organism, complex or simple, began to eat itself because it didn't have an awareness of it being not that other?
What implications, if any, do you make from this?
How aware must an organism be to be able to avoid this problem?
How does evolution explain this? (Just curious)
Imagine a small worm. It starts eating itself from its own tail because it doesn't know that this is itself. What would happen to this species?
Imagine a rat beginning to eat itself, legs, tail, body - as far as its own mouth can reach if it doesn't know that this is 'me'.
