Also, I'll say there is certainly a time and place for this attitude that mankind is uniquely powerful and capable. All I'm saying is that the way we see this personality of the human may be less about exceptionalism and more about the natural order of all life.
It's very logical that humans are expressing a kind of intelligence that is either common or universal in the cosmos, even if our actual accomplishments and context are unique. It is one thing to be an accomplished and stoic race among a difficult terrain, but that nature is actually magnified by the realization that many other civilizations emerged in harsher and easier conditions and still are more like us than we could have imagined regardless of their context. We do not need to delude ourselves in order to accept a much larger context for our existence.
