I like how your only analogies for different material conditions are those of animals.

“Things are better for me than they were before humankind literally existed” is such a hilariously meaningless thing to say. Why not go back further? Things are better now than they were before the earth’s surface cooled and formed a crust.

It is a comparison in the same spirit as the original article.

The original article does not compare humans to animals. It is an article about humans and different ways that we can structure societies.

It would be utterly meaningless cruft to point out that things are better for humans than they were before the big bang.
