In more precise terms, we have been granted, as a species, the key to ascend to what might be called a creator race. We possess the unique capacity to observe, understand, and influence the intricate exchanges that govern all living things. With this knowledge, we can elevate our existence, crafting a future that benefits all.

Just wondering, you say here that we have the ability and know-how to basically control (or steward) all of nature and all the life that exists within it. You then say that using this knowledge, we can elevate ourselves (presumably implying humanity), but then also “crafting a future that benefits all”. Is this all referring to just the human species, or to all sentient/conscious beings (meaning at least the majority of non-human animals in addition to humans)? Surely to have the ability to help all “living things” but to only help ourselves would be an abuse of power, no? Especially if what came with neglecting to help the other individuals we coexist with was a sense of entitlement to dominate them for being somehow inferior to us, in an arbitrary way that we likely wouldn’t apply to members of our own species that exhibited the same characteristics that we based the reasoning or justification for these actions on. Just checking 🤔
