You do realize the only reason we're talking to each other is our ancestors prioritized the survival of themselves and those like them. Their children and relatives. As far as I know -- I could be wrong -- none of us make our food directly from sunlight. We have to eat, whether that's vegetables or insects or pork. And we need a lot of energy, since we're smart enough to speak with each other, and that takes brainpower. More than you get from photosynthesizing. So we eat a lot. We're consumers, in the scheme of life. But because we are, we're also the ones that can understand the process of photosynthesis and tell others about it. Look at the stars and see what's out there. A tree, a rose, grass, the bacteria that allow termites to break down lignin, all important. But they also don't seem to be able to be... the part of the universe that comprehends itself, as someone once said.
