From R@T

I have been self metacognating lately. Wondering how the seeds in my mind turn into full blown thoughts. How did I come to ask if I could create a playlist using the numbers one to ten? Which leads to bigger questions like are humans the only entities who have the concepts of numbers and counting?  Perhaps I have too much time on my hands.
