To our pet, stairs are a great place to explore and exercise. In this case, we are taking a step up the ladder, and going up on the ladder is an important step. For a person who is petting a dog or cat from the ground, this is not the same thing as for a person with a human companion. This is a different level of self-awareness.
As we climb the stairs, we’ll find that we’re also climbing up on animals, and petting those animals from the ground is not the same thing as petting those same animals from the top of a dog or cat. The point is to step up to a different level of self-awareness. If you’re petting a cat from the ground, you’re not petting the same cat from the top of the cat tree.
Animals do not have legs. Their feet are on the ground.
As you climb up into a new level of self-awareness, your pet animals start to talk. They start to say things. They start to talk about their lives, and you start to understand them. You start to be able to understand other animals.
A lot of animals don’t even realize they’re petting or talking to different people until you start to notice it.
Pet stairs are one of the most under-appreciated features of modern games. You climb up a set of steps in your living room and, when you reach the top, you see all your friends petting and talking to each other in a new way. Sure, you may not get to pet them, or even see them pet you, but thats okay. It just means youve just experienced another level of self-awareness.
The most important thing to remember is that animals are basically robots who are also capable of self-awareness. If you pet a dog, it knows it is petting you, but if you pet a cat, you are still a cat.
Now that our dog, Zuma, has been petted by a few people, he knows he can be petted. Zuma is also able to tell us when he has the ability to smell our dog’s butt and when he doesn’t. What we’re seeing here is that all kinds of self-awareness has been achieved by pets.
I know that many of you reading this have pet cats and dogs, but I feel like the biggest thing missing from this new trailer is an actual pet. If you want to create a pet, the best way is to have them interact with humans in some way. Cats and dogs come naturally to us, and they’re great companions. But you have to have human companions to achieve true self-awareness.
Some pet owners are probably reading this thinking, “I could never get my pet self-aware. I probably would never interact with a dog or cat, and I’m already stressed enough.” You’d be right, but you have to be willing to do it. The thing to remember is that self-awareness is a long process. We can’t all have pets. But pets, like humans, are a great tool for achieving self-awareness.
