Humans consider themselves superior in every way, even though they couldn't even survive for hundreds of millions of years. Even with the hundreds of millions of years the planet has existed and the hundreds of millions of species that have inhabited it, humanity still denies that life as fascinating as our own has ever existed, believing it exists on planets hundreds of millions of kilometers away. They think that if life were to come, it would be like Christopher Columbus, plundering and teaching us things.
Anthropism is ridiculous and only sets us back scientifically, morally, and religiously. It leads us to destroy our planet, to believe we are superior to other beings by divine right or by reason alone, blessing ourselves with things like the soul or consciousness—fundamentally human principles—which we use as an excuse to massacre all life on the planet, considering ourselves better than everyone else.
