Ok, I get the whole disappointment with our species, but I really donât think itâs fair to simply declare us stupid and cruel and leave it there. We are â but weâre also brilliant and loving. People will suffer any agony to ruin someoneâs life, and they will devote their whole life to helping someone theyâve never met. We invent medicines and poisons, we make poems and pyramid schemes, we launch bombs and raise butterflies, we tell lies for the most banal motives and we investigate the universe for the sheer joy of understanding.
What I think stands out most about Homo sapiens is that we are incredibly diverse. Most species are adapted to fit a niche, but basically identical humans can become anything from arctic hunters to vegan office workers, polygamous warlords to aromantic painters. We can be wonderfully beautiful and we can be disgusting ugly. But none of those things are our nature, our nature is to be all of them.

Those transports are a fascinating detail of WW II with many a story to tell.
These days, they use planes.

No argument there, of course⌠but our species is also quite the opposite, of course.

That is a way oversimplification, as of course it would have to be. Birds, and especially corvids, are known to possess both basic theory of mind and metacognition. Cephalopods have demonstrated problem solving and some evidence of self-awareness. It goes on. We are finding many more signs of cognition in other species largely because we never thought to look before. It was unquestioned dogma that it wasnât there, so why look? And any (in hindsight obvious) signs were dismissed because âit just canât be.â I look forward to our first experience actually communicating with the aliens that live on our own planet with us!

I do too, although part of me dreads what they might to say. 
It could be something along the lines of, âWhat the 
are you doing to our home?â or âWhat the is wrong with you?â Prove me wrong, fellow creaturesâŚprove me wrongâŚ
