I always find these type of questions specious and entirely dependent on frame of reference for both question and response.<p>Our language and conceptions evolved specifically to do important things like inform companions under which trees the most delicious nuts could be found and remember where the hidden tiger was sleeping.<p>&quot;Special&quot; and &quot;Rare&quot; in these primitive contexts (which is all we really have right now) don&#x27;t mean anything objectively nor on a cosmic scale (of which we know very little incidentally). So the whole question is just.... off.
