appreciate your honest response to my joke answer.

but as someone who despises hierarchies, I rather view all forms of life, from worms to humans to possible gods. as all worth and valid forms of existing. non to be looked down on.

gives me the vibe of a parent seeing a construction worker and telling their son “that’s the reason you should go to college”. each one’s life’s is as rich, complicated and worthy of basic respect as each other.
