Perhaps focusing on dogs awesome qualities may help you not getting annoyed. You seems to value a lot complex systems, imagination and willpower and yeah some humans are great at that. Most dogs beat us flat on group cohesion, kindness and perseverance. People value that, too.
- low_tech_love 3y agoI love dogs; the “one or the other” attitude comes from them, not me. The comparison is absurd in my opinion. And by the way you could replace it with cats, or pets in general, the point is the same. I just think it is a very shallow perspective to look down on humanity like that. To me it signals that the person is not really looking very deep into things.
- aziaziazi 3y agoI agree the comparaison is absurd in the literal reading. Comparaisons are also used as a language feature, like in “I really love chocolate more than anything else”. Don’t underestimate fellows perspective based on the view they’re expressing at the moment.
