I am good at seeing details others miss.

I suck at both.
Your writing indicates that you're a kid genius.
Thanks. Unfortunately a good deal of other academic areas says otherwise. The writing is my savant thingy I guess.
Now if only you could combine your vocabulary with knowing what you're talking about; then you'd really have something going.

No one would say: "I am proud to be a human," because, who are you going to brag that to?
At last somebody has managed to summarise in one paragraph what i have been trying to say in thousands of posts over the last 7 yrs on WP. The missing link here is social stigma...we all internalise it....
Interesting.
Maybe it's once "others," (from the stars) walk among us that we unite as proud to be human?

Put simply We have more in common as "humans" than what differentiates us. Out primitive instinct is to overestimate the importance of differences in our biology/behaviour as if that still matters to our survival as species. As a species we have become technologically advanced but our brains are still catching up.
