> that we ourselves consider very important

I was with you until that statement. The concept of "importance" itself is also something we ourselves consider ie. you're not a monkey therefore you don't know if importance is even a thing for a monkey, or if it is and that it appears that they prefer bananas over AK 47's you're still not a monkey so you won't be able to be sure.

Therefore to attribute having the same concept of importance as us to another species is absurd.



I don’t think we disagree, if I understand you correctly, that’s more or less what I wanted to express.
