Anyone heard of the mirror test? It's inventor is Gordon Gallup ...
That's interesting because other humans are also our mirrors. Not just for studying the self but also for learning social awareness and love.
Quote:What the mirror test shows, Gallup said, is self-awareness, which he defines as “the ability to become the object of your own attention.” And he believes this implies a certain rare intellect. Any animal that can recognize itself in a mirror, Gallup thinks, can potentially recognize that others have their own minds and even empathize with them. A sense of self means a sense of selves.
