Mutual Influence of the Metaphysical and Physical

Thank you for starting a rather interesting discussion. I have an observation of my own and I’d like you to please address this issue. It will go somewhat contradictory to some aspects in your essay, but this thought intrigues me and I’d like yours as well as other friend’s response.

 

My observation relates to humans. Although in your essay, I get the impression that humans are superior, my observation is that humans are not superior. One can question, “Superior to what”? While other could have their own answers, my answer is “superior to nothing”.

 

It is true that humans have invented clothes [to protect against weather conditions]. It is also true that human have invented many remarkable things, ending with internet. I am prepared to ignore humans’ bad behavior, such as wars, oppression, cruelty, deceit and so on. I will account for only humans’ noble deeds, such as charity, goodwill, aid, love and friendship. Yet I claim human is NOT superior.

 

Is it feasible that what I said makes any sense? If yes, how can we integrate this thought into the physical-metaphysical dimension?
