To be fair, humans have it in limited form, too. We just don't know how much comprehension we do not yet have, because we cannot comprehend something we cannot comprehend.
My parrot clearly understands basic events and phrases. He knows what "snacks" involve when I ask if we should have some, he knows the difference between "good morning" and "bedtime", and he can correctly use "Oh!" when he stumbles and follow up with a "Good boy!" when he gets back up again.
But he cannot fathom the complexity of "going to work to earn money".
Just like we humans cannot fathom the complexity of something we have yet to fully understand. People who experience a DMT trip will experience the journey but be unable to comprehend and explain what happened in hindsight. I'm sure there's a TON more we cannot comprehend that we don't know about.
Also we can't comprehend why parrots are not going to parrot work to earn parrot money, or how parrot-to-parrot communication works, or how to be a good and respected parrot in a parrot society.
I also can't comprehend why I wake up early to go to human work to earn human money.
Best I can do is some high-school mumbo-jumbo about farming and specialization furthering wealth acquisition.
But to truly comprehend the situation I'd have to study economics and current events and sociology and even then I think it's a lot of theories and sometimes when I hear economists talk I wonder that it may not be coming out of their mouth.
