Ok, here we go...

super-
you are narrow-minded, this allows you to figure things out.
Have you ever done any engineering work? Your above statement is a big NO . 'nuff said.
You are the one who is foolishly hopeful (mushy), hopeful that the human brain is more than a sieve that catches tiny amounts of information, and then spits out "facts" about all existence.
Did I ever say it was just a glorified pasta sieve? The brain is clearly an amazing engine of heuristic learning, information processing, and self reflection. I never diminish the awesomeness of the human brain. But it is still fundamentally just a machine. A big, mushy, wet, squishy machine.
You are not comfortable with reality
Yes I am. Except when it bites me in the ass. Lately I have many bite marks, but I don't confuse my (currently) painful reality with my wishes for a better future.
- we are not just animals anymore
I disagree.
and with our consciousness comes responsibility.
I agree.
You are not comfortable with the "fact" that facts are held together with weak forces.
Meaning what? I fully understand that what we "know" is in a constant state of flux and refinement, and sometimes total upheaval. Why do you think I'm so uncomfortable with things? Because I'm not a mystic? Because I don't glorify the mysteries of "the unknown" the way the sheep do? That I'm actually interested in what reality has to say and don't try to force my own feelings on it?
You misuse the word "smart", when you call people "stupid", some of whom who are (at least) as intelligent as you are.
I don't get the grammer of your sentence, but being the humble person that I am, I acknowledge that there are many people who are
far more intelligent than I, many of them on this forum. My response to your statement
P.S. The people who say we are just advanced animals are the worst of the latter group. ”
You mean the smart group?
simply reflects the fact that I am in this "worst" group and you pissed me off. Besides, I never said "stupid", I only implied it.
