    Why is it any less important than humans, if you were a hampster you would think you were more important than humans.

    The actual point of my post was to make fun of how arrogant humans are, the term "human condition" really annoys me, it implies such narcissism that we think we are so important, anyone who uses it is probably self absorbed. It reminds of "me me me" kids who are self obsessed.

    Yes. We're so narcisstic that one of our own started a thread about it on boards.ie

    I think the OP is referring to a Laundry Hampster.

    They suffer from the condition of smelling like dirty socks.

    Why? I talked to a hamster once and he assured me that all hamsters feel they are inferior to humans.*

    I wouldn't even go so far as hamsters. Bacteria/single celled organisms are our overlords. They're in every niche on the planet, they make up a huge proportion of the biomass of this planet, they gave us oxygen, locked up the iron oxide billions of years ago(hence we're not red like Mars), and they live in and on us and when the sun goes wallop in a few billion years they'll be the only ones left. Oh yea and they give us beer and cheese and such. You could argue that we're just bags of specialised bacteria.

    Anyhoo, maybe lay off the deep thinking for a bit, or read more philosophy. You'll find it's been picked at as an idea for millennia. It's up there with, "is reality just me and is everyone and everything a dream" stuff prevalent among kids thinking too much.

    Short answer; objectively nothing, subjectively everything.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Well would you mind letting your hamster post for the rest of the afternoon please, I would be far more interested in what he has to say.

    Well, maybe we can answer the human condition question.

    However, to answer the hamster condition, we have to ask...

    THE HAMSTER !!!!

    I'll bite for my sins.... The subjective description of what it is to be human?

    Well, Des, I could be wrong, but I believe a hampster is some kind of wicker rodent, seen mainly around christmas and easter.
