We don't have this for humans either, other than the vague pseudoscience of IQ. As I've travelled more, and just grown older in general, I've come to accept a lot of humans as barely sentient.


More like all humans, most of the time.

Actual sentience takes energy that our brain really doesn't like to use. It hardcodes switch statements for behaviours as fast as it can and then coasts until something doesn't match.
