Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: Why do we have an INTENSE love for animals? by [deleted]

>Humans love the feeling of superiority and we are far superior

*We actually aren't superior but like to belief that we are so we make up definitions for superior that fit our view

You don’t have the science to prove that. But yes I was referring to the feeling of superiority.

Do you really need scientific proof that you can't outrun cheetahs or dive longer than dolphins?

Intellectual superiority, genius. Lol that was ironic to say.

So you chose how to define superiority (in this case by intellect)?

Let me just quote myself here since it seems you didn't care to read my comment:

>so we make up definitions for superior that fit our view

Thanks for demonstrating my point though

Yes intellectual superiority is what I was referring to because humans are afar superior in this category to any other animal. I thought it so rudimentary and basic I need not even bring up the point.

'Cause a few comments earlier you demanded the science to proof that...

I thought you were referring to intellect as I was if you would be so kind as to acknowledge. And yes of course we do because we have the intelligence to do so. Can I not go into space? Can a lion breach the cosmos? We’re on the same page bud. But I don’t like your attitude.

Fair enough. I just don't like the attitude of humans thinking they're superior (be it animals or other humans) because I've seen the gruesome stuf they do based on that.

With great power comes great responsibility & I think we can all agree on that.
