This temporary condition of our section of human population (Africans still kill Chimps for meat) is appropriate for projection onto something that might have 6 legs and 8 eyes and secrete acid as phormone for what reason?
We have been far more intelligent than chimps for 500 thousand years or or more. Where do you get that claim? I agree that we act like chimps, even now, but we have had a much more evolved brain for a much longer time.
There was a time when people laughed at air travel. But if everything is possible in the future just because we get attached to a whim, then any god is possible If everything is possible just because we think it then we wouldn't need ATMs and Newton's Alchemy would allow us to make gold out of wood.
