I don't see where learning that fruit flies are a lot smarter than most people thought makes us appreciate nature less.
If you want a dystopian take, why not this one instead? Climate change is bad enough already if you just assume the billions of nonhuman animals killed, displaced, and degraded by it are meat robots. How much worse to know instead that they are, consistent with their capabilities, no less learning, thinking, and feeling beings than we are?
