Quote:That's not an argument, that's just an assertion that you are part of a superior species. Quite dangerous territory.
How is that not an argument? How is this dangerous?
I have provided you with examples of human achievements and you simply ignored them rather than to show how I was wrong.
You insist that we are not supirior to other species of animal but fail to produce evidence.
I find the opposite to be dangerous, for exmplae this here:

We are merely relatives who splitt genes thousands if not millions of years ago, we only share the same interest in survival.
We have other interests which are the result of us leaving instinct based thinking behind.
The only responsibility we have is to assure that they dont become instinct.
