That's your position. Not shocked.


Well, yeah.

I don't think of right and wrong applying to any nonhuman species. Good and bad, maybe. Good if it promotes the species' wellbeing, bad if it causes harm. Only humans think in terms of right and wrong.

Humans think we are special because we have the cognitive capacity to do so and no other reason. There is no objective reason to believe we are anything more than primates with large frontal lobes if we are honest with ourselves.

The problem is that the special nature of humanity is so ingrained into human thinking that we would be incapable of existing without it now. Society would crumble without the idea that we are somehow apart from and superior to nature.
