I'm here to try out new ideas.
I'm sorry you picked a little detail I rethorically created to show off you didn't get what I was saying with 'correcting' something I created.
Of course do I tell you how I meant it.
How else could I react so it doesn't hurt your little feelings?
Which is messed up too since this was meant to be a discussion?

Quite a refreshing change to all the judgmental people pretending to be polite.

So calling me belligerent is not your feelz but the best reasoning you can do?
Wow
...on the metaphysical level.
What we humans are, our personality, our intelligence, our operation system, is abstract.
I would hope we all can agree on that?
I am is 1. derivative of what our senses perceive + an ongoing story we call 'My Life'.
The iffy part is we together form one hyper-individual embedded in our biosphere.
Am is 1. "am" is derivative of "it is" in the sense that existence is true and evident. "I" is 2, or the distinction between this bit of "it is" and that bit of "it is" aka me and not me. 2 is derivative of 1 in the sense that there is two 1's which are adjacent but not synonymous and cumulatively inform the individual.

When you zoom out basically and look at our species and how we act or what effects we have as if we all would form one super-individual. Super would have been better than hyper.

Not that I can find anything wrong with that but I look at it as my existence, what acts in this environment in the now as the function and 'I am' the abstract less obvious self-awareness of what is acting.
the sphere of human consciousness and mental activity especially in regard to its influence on the biosphere and in relation to evolution
