Ah. So "sentience" is the ability to experience feelings and sensations, but sapience is the ability to reason and think and act on those thoughts. Fits the world perfectly at this juncture, I think. Mankind is devolving from homo sapiens and soon will be known as homo sentiens... another name for homo sentiens could well be "Eloi".

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
