How about we're the only species which we hold to a moral standard? Unless you're going to hold other species to that standard, you have to admit that we're special.

- QAPereo 9y agoDifferent != Special
- oreo81 9y agoIf you don't consider humans special. What is your definition of special?
- QAPereo 9y ago“Special” is a human concept which may not exist objectively, empirically. Distinct, unique, etc... are probably more honest, assuming that we don’t exist in a multiverse.
- mike741 9y agoisn't every concept you could name right now a human concept which may not exist objectively?
- QAPereo 9y agoNo, but then, I like physics so I’d start rattling off fundamentals like the hyperfine transitions of Hydrogen, the speed of light in vacuum, and the mass of the proton.
- oreo81 9y agoStill can't prove those absolutely objective. They just work out with our human conceived models of the "physical" universe.
