In this episode, Mr. Spock makes the following analogy: "the Organians are to us as we are to amoeba." The development of the Organians was definitely a blow to Kirk's pride.

Do you think they would be interested in learning about humanity?
Yes. I think curiosity and intelligence go hand in hand. Even if our intelligence is like an amoeba by comparison to theirs they would be interested for the same reason we would be interested in an amoeba civilization.
