re: That forum doesn't pose any questions...
I disagree with you. As a matter of fact, your question is more philosophical than anything. It was an excellent post and I think it would have garnered more responses if it had been on the right board to begin with.......Off Topic.
I can guarantee if I had posted "How do we KNOW we are Self-Aware?" here on Space, it would have been moved over to Off-Topic in a New York minute.
To some extent, I can see the moderators here play favoritism with their male companions. It's a clique to some extent.
