that was only true until nature created something greater than itself.
we're the first species that can permanently alter its environment, we're the first that can not only prevent its own extinction, but conduct natural selection by its own design. We're the first that figured out how to beat the weather. We are the first species to create a means by which our knowledge outlives our physical beings.
natural evolution has created a being that can surmount natural evolution.
Sure while there are still many humans which are barely conscious stimuli bots which possess the self awareness of a cockroach, there are vastly more of us who are capable of contemplating our own existence.
We are not only superior to nature, we are beyond it.
