      I am saying (1) to call it “an instinct” is absurd; (2) no one denies humans have an animal nature; and @HPluckrose @DoneReasoning

      (3) the judgment that human beings are higher forms of being than irrational animals is both true and evident. @HPluckrose @DoneReasoning

      To discredit claims ABOUT human beings because a human being makes them is absurd. @HPluckrose @SetagayaGirl

      It would be, yes. To say that humans see intellect as of primary importance cos they have it isn't tho.

      Disagree! We have a unique ability to use technology to survive in environments other than those we were evolved in.

          We alone have the ability to develop technology needed to adapt to new environments, e.g. space, underwater.

          Yes, we have unique and wonderful abilities. So do other animals. Some can regrow limbs AND camouflage AND hunt AND run fast

          Ah, but reason is a qualitatively different type of ability, one which allows us to do *all* these things & more.

          And also destroy the planet & all life on it. Read good argument abt why it doesn't evolve much.A disadvantage in many ways

          Well, that argument has also been put forward by others. Thinking of Vonnegut's 'Galapagos' novel for instance.

          There are smart people who take a range of different views on these (big) questions. Worth reading different opinions.
