The biggest problem of humanity is that We are Animals pretending not to be Animals
-
We are above animals though, humans were able to conquer the earth, light it up, send its people beyond it, create complex language and more whilst animals can’t really do any of that

Not sure if high, but OP is definitivelly BASED!

Can you do any of that?
-
This is called speciesism, the believe that your live is worth more/you are better simply because of your species.

animals literally did that. we are those animals.

Hey, I recognize a The Fairly OddParents reference when I see one. That's good taste, fella
-
I know my fella Dionegenes pretty well. He was based as fuck
-
I love people who are like "we need to return to nature!"
Like, I get the sentiment and we should definitely try to coexist with the rest of the animals since were smart enough to, but i think its important to remember that we are nature. We cannot separate ourselves from it. Even skyscrapers are natural. Just ask a termite.

I could with enough motivation yeah

But only one specific species of animals did that. Most animals are incapable of doing that, which is why we are superior
-
So no, you can't. Guess you aren't human, just an animal huh?
-
How can I not though? Every human is capable of doing these things. What makes us better than animals is that we can cooperate on much grander things that extend beyond death
-
I don't believe you are capable of any of the examples you mentioned.
-
Hey bud? Octupi are developed enough to maintain neighborhood communities, and they managed to avoid inventing money, taxes, and HoAs. They're also not actively destroying the planet.
Let's not pretend like anything we are doing has an inherent good to it. Animal societies looking different to ours doesn't make them inferior to ours. What humanity has wrought is nothing to brag about.
-
We don't pretend we are not animals. We pretend we are the ONLY animals, and all others are merely objects.

The Apex Animal, the Uber-animal, the Sigma Animal
-
You're so damn right! We can't pull us apart of nature and neither everything we do!

You're not wrong but I think you're missing the point. The point is that a lot of people believe that everything that makes Earth has an intrinsic value in and of itself. That doesn't mean that us as humans as part of the earth can't capture some of that value and put it to our own efforts, it does mean that we should have respect for the living and non-living things that make up our planet and can't take everything. Just because Dolphin's didn't invent the light bulb doesn't mean they don't have their own value to themselves. It just means that we don't understand it.

Oh yeah I didn’t mean it as in because we are superior we should step over all of the living beings on the earth. They might not have the same mental capability as us but I do agree that they can feel and do serve a purpose on the earth alongsides us.
