Default Re: Here\'s to Humans

You're making the mistake of assuming that if you were an ant you would think like a human pretending to be an ant, whereas actually you'd think like an ant and you wouldn't be unhappy to be an ant.

You are stuck in the same trap by being human, you can only assume it is a good thing because you can't move out of the ability to think like a human.

I don't think this is the same, because although ants are aware of us, they don't understand us or our superiority (except that they run away when we try to step on them, but if we were aware of an ET, we would also have the ability to understand them and understand that they are superior to us.
what i was saying was that we do not necessarily assume being us is a good thing, because we can be aware of superior beings, but we should still be happy about our capabilities because an ET would be more technologically advanced and possibly have more internal computing power, but not more capable of understanding
