Just as I won't inflate our "importance" neither will I inflate the old depreciate humanity in terms of holding interest for other possible life. To support one thought over the other makes no sense as we have no concept of how other species would think, what their priorities would be, nor what their needs would be.
Frankly, I like the "wondering" of it all aspect!
There was another interview on Amateur Scientist Podcast with an astronomer, I think, who was discussing where we were in terms of space travel and other races who would be capable of it...basically we're like ants if you compare them to us. Maybe some would be interested in studying an inferior life form, but most would probably just ignore us as a minor pest. I'll have to find that one.
