Summary

This quote suggests that animals lack the self-awareness to recognize their own ignorance, while humans possess this ability. Animals simply act based on their instincts and natural behaviors without questioning or analyzing their actions. In contrast, humans are conscious of their limited knowledge and understand that there are many things they do not know. This notion highlights the uniqueness of human cognitive abilities, as we have the capacity to reflect on our ignorance and continuously learn and grow.
