But why are they more important? Is it because they are visible and thus take precedence? Is it simple because we can understand their existance with more coherence, than that of the "bundle of cells"? Is it because we have "sentience" and they do not? What is so important about placing such a high value on "sentience"? It is nothing more than an arbitrary belief created by a pseudo-science. I think therefore I am? No. You are molecules, therefore you exist. What are we but nothing more than carbon molecular chains? Should humanity be so high, merely because we have a higher evolved brain? What than shall we do upon meeting any beings that have a higher evolved brain than us? Submit to servitude and lose our "sentience"?
