This is probably what ants think about humans when they run through their feet.
- coldtea 4mo agoAnd they're wrong. Whereas, unless your claim is that rock and gasses are sentient, we're right.
- mihaic 4mo agoYes, but we have a system to understand the universe and ants don't. Using relativism, to simply destroy point of view without putting anything in their place, is simply destructive without any purpose.
- dandanua 4mo agoMy purpose was to say that humans might not be capable enough to see what's there beyond just rocks and gases. Actually, this should be a popular view, because, according to modern theory, the observable universe accounts for only 5% of its mass, with the rest consisting of dark matter and dark energy. It is hard to estimate how much human egocentrism takes in the space, though. And BTW, ants are quite capable of understanding their environment in order to survive and thrive.
- mihaic 4mo agoYou're just repeating that your purpose is your message. Do you honestly not see a qualitative difference between the understanding of ants and of humans of the world around them? Heck, even ants and dogs or cats?
