"It's a fucking tool, like a fucking shovel."

The difference is, if you talk with your shovel, you are talking with yourself.

The problem here is you're complaining about cult members, then acting like one of the anthrocentric cult members yourself. I agree that we should build a human centered world, but ignoring our many faults won't get us anywhere.

I disagree that we should build a human centered world.

We already did that and it's hell for a myriad of other lifeforms.
