No matter what you claim makes human beings special, the burden of proof is on you to show how your "factor x" makes a species special and morally valuable, or more so than any other living entity.

Ie, what is the link between "a civilization with space stations" and moral value? Before we could build space stations, were we less valuable?

I want you to be careful here, because you seem very emotional. Let go of the emotions and think rationally. I'm not interested in anybody's feelings on this matter.

nope i`m not running in circles.
I have given you a clear argument of why humans are a supirior species - civilisation.

And the fact that civilisation took time to be built and is still evolving doesnt make it less of an argument

You are the one who thinks there is "no difference" between humans and potatos. So you are the one who has to give an explaination

The explanation is simple. I see no connection between civilization and greater life value.

Civilization does not provide anything special for the value of one's life.

This is simply an objective fact.
