extreme chasm between humans, human behavior, and then even other obviously intelligent animals, whales and and primates and things like that.
It's it seems like we are of a different category.
And especially if we go back to the ancient world, it was just sort of patently obvious that humans were on this spiritual realm that was just miles above, you know, the the the plants and animals and the and the backdrop.
