While value judgment of any sort requires perspective I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s wrong to prefer our own. Rejecting all value judgements of any sort would simply leave us without anything to converse about.<p>I think the kind of things people can do have more value than the sort of things a dog can do and further that it&#x27;s only the dogs limitations that prevent us from appreciating it. Our abilities are nearly a superset of theirs.<p>Finally survival beyond the scope of your biosphere ultimately requires intelligence of the human sort and that is certainly worth something.
