Humans cope themselves into believing that they are inherently superior then animals. They use made-up human metrics such as reasoning, rationalism and empathy to make their point. They barely do anything but to deconstruct and rationalize instinctual behaviors like competition and dominance, mirroring animal hierarchies. True superintelligent potential lies in using these values to transcend instincts, fostering ethical values, cooperation, and a deeper connection with nature and the universe. Without this, "civilization" remains a complex extension of natural instincts rather than a higher state of existence.
