Its kind of silly to call ourselves apex this or superior that from a anthropocentric standpoint. Its like saying; I am more succesfull than you because I achieved my goals and you didn't achieve 'my' goals but your own, which are not the goals that bring the 'succes' that seems to be evident from my perspective. These are the hard questions, does our experience differ from that of anything else. Is it similar? What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to see the color red? In all honesty in no language I could explain to you what or how I experience what I experience. I can refer to it in lucid ways by generalizing endlessly until it is void of meaning. I don't see how saying that we are superior or apex predators solve these problems, it just seems to deny them essentially.

Love the discussions btw<3
