I understand that human life is more valuable than property conceptually, but I think I'm too autistic to understand it intuitively. Any breeder can give birth to a litter. But like, a television is the culmination of innumerable hours of labor, scientific and engineering genius.

A television cannot fall into sin, nor can it grow closer to the divine will. Therefore it lacks moral agency. Entities with moral agency ("rational animals") are infinitely more valuable than those without.
Ah, this I understand. Humans have property x. Objects lack property x. Therefore humans better.

Humans are worse, what stands out is that by being worse, we have the potential to become better, therefore spiritually we are better than something that's merely good by default.
