...I worry about our perception of usefullness. We are the only species that can build thermonuclear weapons, and enough of them, to erase our existence. Although, I wonder about the goats and sheep too. They will eat the plants down to the roots to the point where things won't grow back, so no more food supply for them.

As we grow more aware of and more accurately assess the properties of the universe including emphasis on our locality and its dangers and opportunities, we will possess a longer range view over ever larger sets of parameters and influences as well as how they are coupled. This will ensure that we live long and prosper by having learned to maintain the balance between resources and population densities of ourselves and the sheep and goats. We must not leave it to the sheep and goats and those of kindred mind sets.
