Think about this while looking at a picture of earth from space on the night side where all the roads and cities can be made out. You realize humanity is a super organism on a totally different level that puts to shame other social animals like ants, bees, termites, and certain rodents. It is just that unlike most other species on earth humanity forms a hyper-object that is hard to bring into focus. Feeling like one personally is ‘the great man’ at the head of this hyper object of an organism would make anyone start having grandiose delusions about their self worth even while intellectually knowing that if they abruptly disappeared, like with single cells in a multicellular organism, another human individual would for better or worse immediately shift into carrying out their social role.
Sitting atop the modern industrial hyperobject called ‘civilization’ gives people a very funny perspective.
