joushlolMon, Dec 17, 2007 I guess you would have to define your terms. What do you mean by superior? You could make a case against our superiority, but as a species is the ability to network and pass on knowledge and ideas beyond spoken word and demonstration is my far our most advanced skill.
You can talk all day about how mankind could be doing better as a whole, but you have to be careful not to make out animals as noble. they can't tell the difference between responsibility and pure instinct. We, on the other hand, have a responsibility to be able to tell the difference. I think that puts us in a completely different league than what we are trying to compare ourselves with.
I think humility is the best position to take in any circumstance.
