HUMAN GOVERNORS
HUMAN GOVERNORS
Whether humans' "consciousness" is superior to that of plants, animals, fish, microbes, or of any other living (or non-living) thing, is seemingly a philosophical question.
I cannot speak to "superiority" of any kind, or culture, due to innate limitations of human knowledge, and our inevitable bias, prejudice.
Perhaps, all other categories of other living, or non-living things, in existence or now extinct, may now, or might previously have, similarly entertained biases and prejudices toward us as have we toward them?
Governors limit human speculation, dividing knowable and unknowable.
