I recommend getting off the Barcalounger and taking a hike. Wade though a pond, walk through a forest, read some science books and figure out how stuff works - it'll change you. No one who does this can continue to be this
anthropocentric.


Whatever the merits of your overall argument (I'm not commenting on them one way or the other at the moment) this statement is simply false. I have taken many hikes, I have waded through a pond, walked through a number of forests, and read an unusually large number of science books (I had a voracious appetite for science and science fiction books when I was a kid) . I don't claim to be a genius but in the practical realm of how things work I think I have far greater understanding then the average person (I'm not trying to brag, I don't think I am alone on this thread in that understanding), but I am still rather anthropocentric. The fact that someone disagrees with you is not evidence that they are stupid, uneducated, lazy or that they lack curiosity.
