So why do you think it is fine for the Dolphins to say they are more intelligent but not fine for Man to say they are more intelligent? You are saying us humans

So why do you think it is fine for the Dolphins to say they are more intelligent but not fine for Man to say they are more intelligent? You are saying us humans should stop saying that, why? > To be clear, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to point out humans are better at doing things than animals. That’s an objective fact at this point in time. My point is that this doesn’t make us “different” to other animals any more than any animal is different to another animal! This piece of human exceptionalism is what I object to. Many animals play around all day like Dolphins do, but Humans is the only animal that acts anywhere close to the way Humans do, learning to build new things over generations and doing things like going to space. No animal species has managed to go to space, that makes humanity more exceptional than any animal species. Many animals swim around in the ocean and eat fish, but only one have made spaceships, air planes, cars, computers etc. Another way to see it is how much would earth change if the species didn't exist. Remove humans and the face of the earth massively changes. Remove dolphins and earth would hardly change at all. Humans have exceptional impact, and thus can be said to be exceptional.
