    Any time we're impressed by what a non-human animal does, it's simply because we previously underestimated its intelligence.

        @DarthSavage1220 @neiltyson Exactly. Human ego is perhaps the most damaging force on earth.

        @cabal072002 @DarthSavage1220 @neiltyson Fair. Hubris, pride, conceit, narcissism, vanity, arrogance. One of those maybe?

        @kaybiotic @neiltyson we should welcome the fact that we treat non-humans better than we did 100 years ago. Labels are less imp I think.

        @saraokar @neiltyson agreed; it's not about the label, but rather about how we've evolved to a point of causing less harm, so why continue?

        @saraokar @neiltyson yes each progressive step is one to be grateful for! Yet we must continue to walk - those who know have a duty to teach
