That is not intentional in case of GP [0]. But this disrespectful perspective towards other animals is rooted within us culturally. As example some religions: there is heaven free from other animals, because they are not worth it.

You're interpretation of my comment contains the opposite message from that which you've perceived.

I'm proud to have the brain I have, even if it's like an Ape brain. It's not "just something".
