lol, if you think this thread 'proves' we aren't the most intelligent lifeform, it's you who has the ego problem
The new and unimproved statement doesn't work for me either as far as wtf someone's ego has to do with it if they don't believe there are intelligent lifeforms elsewhere. In fact, to get a little bit deeper into it, that statement is egotistical in itself, with you thinking you are 'better' than someone else, because their ego isn't as 'well adjusted' or as 'correct' as yours, otherwise you wouldn't say it - someone's belief on whether or not there is other intelligent life has zero to do with ego and is purely and solely a belief, because their belief isn't based on a less than/more than principle.
For the record, I don't disbelieve there are other lifeforms, intelligent or otherwise, elsewhere, but I don't dismiss those others' beliefs to the contrary based on a soundbite I heard or read by an egotistical idiot (yes, there's my ego) and thought sounded so cool that I went around repeating it to unsuccessfully prove my own lack of ego
