121. But how do you define special?
As something superior - something that includes higher intrinsic value?

Or merely as something different?

Truly, yes, our ability for self-critique is special in the sense that it is, as far we know, a singular ability in this universe. But it does not ipso facto give us a higher value than anything else. It is merely different.

I have a feeling that you are meaning "special" in another way.
