We’re great at what we do, it’s true.

That’s despite all of our weaknesses. And there’s a lot of them.

That was the entire point I made.

The OP kinda used bad faith arguments, so everyone is pointing out ways that humans excel. They have a good point however. Humans are not superior. We are not the best species. Just about every animal, insect, or parasite can kill us or seriously harm us. Our bodies are not resilient, and have about a thousand built in flaws. Our ‘intelligence’ just creates new dangers that kill us.

Humans are great in many ways, but we do not sit at the top of everything. We are great at what we do and that’s it.

Edit: A lot of people aren’t too happy with me talking about the human race in the light I did. The point of the comment was not to say humans are trash and weak. It’s to say that we excel at many things, but we are still way behind other animals in many other ways. There is no one species that is the best. They all excel in many different and special ways. We aren’t the best species.

Put a hundred toddlers on an island. Leave a few older children that will disappear a few years later that are taught to fish/hunt/gather. See what kind of language develops, or what kind of civilization. How many survive?

It is VERY unethical. Add variables to other islands, such as the amount of children, and what you teach them.

Worse thing? They changed the formula and they taste like shit now.
