excellent video. maybe that´s the difference between people who really want to understand the world (with the help of science), and people who are still believing in myths: the scientific people allow the question if we are special; whilst religious people don´t even allow the question - maybe because their mythology / religion is built on the presupposition that we are special; and asking the question implies the risk that the answer will be negative, making their entire construct break down?
Everything that is any different from most other things is special. Therefor everything is special. So we are special, but that's not a very special thing.
