You've chosen to raise complexity or "advancement" (snort) as the value pinnacle, but that's just your chosen value system. Any other metric could be just as true and consequently just as false. If you have a red cube and a blue cube and a green cube, only one of the cubes is red. It is the reddest cube. Does being the most red make it precious? Is the blue cube precious because it is the most blue? The green cube? If you have a million cubes of all different hues, is each and every one precious because it is the most its-hue of all of the cubes? If each of the cubes is only mostly a cube, but actually deviates from being a cube in some way, is each one precious for being the most its-shape? But this one is the most pumpkin and the most missing-some-atoms-right-there! Ok, great. So what? So now everything is precious, because everything is the most of something? Let's congratulate ourselves and sing along with Monty Python, "Eeevery sperm is saaaacred....". Or maybe being the most of something doesn't objectively carry any inherent value other than what we decide to put into it.
