I like what you said about the human being's ability to smile. I think my initial statement is too 'intelligence-centric' in terms of what makes a human being a human being. I think the most important part is that perhaps indefinable substance of emotion-centric actions. For example, take suicide. If we were simply intelligent and survivalistic, then we would probably never commit suicide unless for a greater purpose for the human race as a whole or something like that. However, there was an American artist who had his followers roll him up in a carpet and then throw him out of a moving van in order to create an "artistic suicide," which he called "Dead Man." Interestingly enough the artist survived, hence, perplexing some art critics to call this a "Failed" artwork....but nevertheless, the ability to commit suicide in such a way (and many other ways for very different motives) is certainly not necessarily intelligent but EXTREMELY emotional and perhaps artistic. Perhaps, the emotional aspect to entirely contradict notions of survival in any physical worldly sense AND the FREEDOM to do so is the essence of what makes us what we are.

With people like Jesus and Socrates creating prime examples of an artistic suicide. They got a pretty lousy fanbase though. Hadn't heard about the carpet man before. Are there any churches filled with groupies for him too?

God, I HOPE not!! The same artist made "Fountain," which was nothing more than an upside down urinal which was submitted to supposedly show the failings of modern art....I think that particular artwork has about as much ingenuity as "Ache Breaky Heart" has in terms of good music....I think to an extent the 1960's were kind of an embarrassment in terms of 'real' art. I heard about the carpet guy in an art class I took in college. I think his last name was "Gettier." I googled Gettier and Dead Man but I couldn't find anything.....so I'm not sure if this was something the professor himself knew and was talking about as part of an overall lecture or if this event was well documented outside of the art community.
By the way, Socrates' suicide was in EVERY way very similar to Jesus' sort of suicide (allowing himself to be crucified when Pontius was giving him any way possible to escape the cross.) If memory serves correct I think Socrates was found guilty of "corruption of the youth," which is also very similar to Jesus as the Jews seemed to have condemned him for nothing more than 'corrupting' traditional Judaism.

For our younger viewerz who weren't alive 2000 years ago we might mention people like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrisson, all dying slowly and spectacularly in front of the adoring crowd. They also knew what was coming for them, but a dead cold dumb world held nothing better for them. Very similar fates to those of J and S.
What makes us a human being is that we are no more or less than a virus.
A virus has no body, no cells.
It's not even a living thing an that sense.
You don't seem to have a very high opinion of yourself @TheRightWing
Or are you perhaps a computer? They don't like all that yucky living tissue stuff very much.

Well, I was being metaphorical, technically we aren't a virus.
We humans, lack predators, therefore, there isn't any sort of autoregulation, the only thing we do, is procreating, consume resources to its maximum extent on a certain area till there is nothing left and then we move to another area and repeat the same process while the quantity of the population increases, those rising our misery.
There is another organism which repeats the same patterns and it's a virus.
Being aware of its own existence does not mean that one has a poor, a bad or a good opinion about oneself, it's a completely neutral stand.
