I've been wanting to ask this question to someone whose answer I would respect for a long time, but never found that person. . .until now. So here it is. How do we know that fish aren't aware of the water? Who are we to comment on a fish's awareness? Okay, so it was two questions. Love you Mr. Dubin!!!
Anthropocentric biases lead 'people' to think. Thinking leads to endless trouble. We don't KNOW...though, when we see a 'fish out of water' s/he seems disgruntled and/or dead, suggestng a change in AWARENESS. In any case: I enjoy smoked salmon.
Totally agree, but still. If they're aware of NOT being in water, doesn't it follow, in an anthropocentric-thinking sort of way, that they're aware of being IN water? Just sayin'. Lox and bagels next time you drop by!
