I don't agree with the secret, but I think the reason OP sees us as ~special~ here is that we have, sadly, proven impressively capable of destroying things.

I think it's disingenuous to act like we're just like other creatures on our planet in that respect. Yes, a massive plague of $whatevers could have severe impacts, but as many? for as long?

I don't think that specific point (that we're especially destructive, as we currently live) is about "anthropocentrism." (That's a thing?)

Yes, a massive plague of $whatevers could have severe impacts, but as many? for as long?

...yes, if given the chance? Why not?

...I don't even know where I first heard the term. *sideeyes* where did I hear that term? I know it was something...

No yeah I get what you're saying, I just mean we're not fundamentally different from other animals or somehow separate from nature. We just happen to be capable of loads of destruction due to...I dunno I'm not a expert, but I guess the fact that we were able to develop over hundreds of thousands of years without being wiped out or subjected to enough competition or major setbacks to make it impossible for us to build up the knowledge and capabilities we have today.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not so much meaning I don't think humans have an overinflated sense of our own importance. I do think that. I just thought that some of these comments sound like "well, we're just another animal, so it's a mistake to see our destructiveness as a big deal," and that goes too far the other way from what the OP is asserting, IMO.

It's the opposable thumbs. I'm pretty sure dolphins would inflict great evil on our world and such if they could build things.

They'd do totally awesome things too, I'm sure, but yeah.

Yeah, that.
