Unfortunately it's the attitude that we have a 'God Given' right to be at the top of the hierarchy which is most dangerous of all.
It's like a self justification that we're ok doing what we do at the expense of other 'lesser' entities rather than curbing our egos and learning to co-exist with them.

I think humankind is going for its own hardfork in the not too distance future.
Either we end up destroying ourselves or we can finally see the bigger picture and start re-prioritising.
