Great video
Don't agree with your summary, though. If the video shows anything it's that we're getting rid of our mistakes and ignorance. Even if it's slow and painful work.
For my part, I'd rather have more insight in the real universe than a mistaken belief that we're all so damn special.

I don't like the humans are shit way of thinking
I really don't think that's true at all. Quite worrying tbh that all that gets promoted by some. I think humans are awesome in every way.

Really? I wished I had your sunny outlook.
Whenever I walk past a chav mother with half-a-dozen kids, effing and jeffing at them I die a little inside.

yeah
I also hate strangers. They are the reason humans are shit, rather than, say, my kneejerk loathing of total strangers.

it depends upon your point of view
it could be saiid everything comes from consciousness, without awareness, there is no universe or machines. that machine was only created because it was first thought of. That machine is just part of the phenomenon. the noumenon is where it's at dude.
the human mind is pretty damned amazing and still a mystery . not to be dismissed so lighly

The universe is simultaneously awe-inspiring and depressing
But as Heaping Spoonful said, we are at least trying to be less ignorant even though it is a slow, slooooooow process.
