Perhaps the untermenschen are composed of something other than what _we_ are, which explains their sloth and poor craftsmanship. All human knowledge has and still is leading to the conclusion there is nothing special about humans or our place in the universe. Exactly what factoid do you know that could possibly prevent computers as complex and powerful as a human brain, or sentient alien species not being as creative as humanity? Not likely to be the 100% the same due to the different substrate, culture and a myriad of differences, but to say such beings cannot be as creative as humans reminds me of europeans in the past claiming other races couldn't be as intelligent or civilized as they were because of some intrinsic flaw. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
