    Viruses don’t know they’re viruses. We aren’t unique. We are just like every other thing. An animal who is concerned with preservation who hasn’t evolved very far beyond the greedy hunter-gatherer.

    And the universe, btw, doesn’t know we exist.

      That’s where you’re wrong, part of the universe knows you exist, loves you, and is very amused by your opinions - I know because I am that bit of the universe.

      By stating that we’re like every animal you prove that we are not, do you think a snail pities it’s existence or has that intellectual curiosity to question it’s worth and insult the value of its being?

      Humans are fascinating and adorable, especially the grumpy emo ones who use the magnificence of their intellect to construct vast and woeful towers of logic from which to decry their own being.
