A tumor is a part of an organism that has mutated to play a much shorter game than the organism itself. Humanity seems to be a tumor on the biosphere. The industrial revolution is that happy moment when the host was switched to mostly delivering nutrients to the tumor.

The biosphere doesn’t have moral status. Humanity does. Humanity is literally the most important entity in the universe since we are the _only_ important entity in the universe.

Surely non-Universal Explainer yet conscious creatures matter more than unconscious objects?

If so, it is H. Sapiens alone who make this determination. Until such time we can communicate with other species.

Hmm, that is interesting. I see what you're saying, but in addition, don't you think that moral principles exist independently of our existence, much as physical principles do?

Yes I do, but as far as we know, we are the only species in the morality game at the moment. Morality is about human action, about what to do and what not to do.

Unlike @Crit_Rat though, I think we give moral status to things other than humans. E.g. animals, our property, knowledge, non-contamination of Mars.

Yup. In order for humans to decide what to do (and such is our blessing and curse), we must ascribe moral status to other things. This is essentially a story we tell ourselves to make action and orientation on a large scale easier.

And it boils down to values and goals.
