What you sound like is a self-indulgent fanatic, overall. Either way, you're wrong about human exceptionalism in that it's evident in most aspects of our existence vs. that of all other species. It's also something that (with better use of our capabilities) could let us not only protect the other species of the earth against disasters that previously would have led to mass extinctions, but also possibly even revive species that have already gone extinct, including many that we ourselves have extinguished.

Worth noting your hypocrisy too here. As a member of the human species who obviously participates in it and its complex technlogical sphere (you are after all using digital tools and the hardware they run on to comment about how terrible we are on HN), you're a direct beneficiery of background industrial processes that themselves kill all kinds of animals and plants every year, while you lecture people on things like slaughtering cows.
