    I’m looking at this as if Humans have made the world for humans. Which we have. That’s the opposite of creationism, and the opposite of whatever pseduoreligious spiritualist nonsense people like you push.

    We are not innocent equals in this world. We are responsible for the death of at least 75% of species since the 1800s. We have the exclusive power to control all other species. They exist at our whim, and it is our sole responsibility to continue making them exist. Which we have taken on over the last 50,000 years in the way of permanently changing what species are, how they grow, and wholesale inventing new ones to serve our needs. And we did most of that with a fucking bicameral mind.

    We are not equal to trees. Trees cannot do anything we can do.
