There is nothing privileged in being the first to attain a certain arbitrary milestone in natural development. Everything has a first instance in a universe evolving out of the Big Bang.
The assumption of privilege becomes even more unsupportable when you see that it is by no means clear we are the first, nor is it clear that the first is truly significantly or qualitatively different from the immediate predecessor to the first.
