"When observing animals, a person is usually gripped by two opposing feelings. One possible one: oh how stupid he is, I would have done it smarter! Such a realization offers a human child a kind of feeling of self-confidence: how good it is to be the "crown of nature". The second emotion is sincere admiration: look, so small and primitive, but look how smart! At the same time, such recognition is always mixed with a small dose of unease: do we really imagine ourselves to be something as superior to animals as we like to instill in ourselves? So what's the point of it?"
