From a must-read book:

“#AntiAnthropocentrism has increasingly been elevated to the status of a universal principle, sometimes called the ‘#PrincipleOfMediocrity’: there is nothing significant about humans (in the #CosmicScheme of things).

As the physicist #StephenHawking put it, #humans are ‘just a chemical scum on the surface of a typical planet that’s in orbit round a typical star on the outskirts of a typical galaxy’.”

‘The Beginning of Infinity’ by #DavidDeutsch
