        You think humans can achieve greatness without defining greatness. You say it’s like five fingers but you don’t have an objective measure.

          Oh yes I have, you just went straight on to assuming I do not

          When speaking of greatness here I mean combination of two things:

          • deep care for all life
          • capability to envision and implement vast changes affecting many lives to make life experience of every life form involved better

                Did they ask the life forms?

                Also: Remember how this was about how great humans are and now we’re just a couple apes asserting dominance with electricity we smashed into rocks?

                Good times.

                  Really? All you could come up with is this?

                  Do I need to ask a lion if it minds some meat to decide whether I should keep him fed?

                  (and yeah, lion is chosen consciously: one life going on is another life’s end, this is how many of them work)
