It's one way of thinking, and a rather bleak way at that. IMO, the maker or makers of this video are trying a little too hard to be clever, but they're really just rehashing old stuff. You either believe it or you don't.

You call someone who realizes that people think they're more than what they are bleak?

If we were anything more than monkeys the world wouldn't be as devoured as it is.

We come up with issues that only human beings that think they're more than monkeys would come up with.

I think it gets the point over well.

I often wonder how humbled people would be by a civilization that's let's say just 1 billion years ahead of ours. But of course, that's utterly and entirely impossible, because... well you know.

I think they'd be over the religious arguments at least. With all the cellphone technology we have I'm astounded that in so many areas, to so many people, the world is still flat.

People are monkeys.

I'm slighly above monkey.

We've also come up with many wonderful things that go well beyond the few seconds of cool stuff that's mentioned in the video. I know the video was meant to lean heavily in a specific direction; I just wanted to add a little balance.

I'm just a monkey, but unlike most, I'm a smart monkey. I play a P-Bass!

it doesn't change our nature tho. If human accepts itself as an animal, biologically it matches that of an ape.

What we achieve throughout our lifetimes that we all share doesn't change the animal nature that we carry.

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.
Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
over another, Fight...

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Cut it all right in two
RIGHT IN TWO!
Right in two...

It's his opinion. And opinions are like a-holes. We all them. Even monkeys.

I couldn't get past the narrator's smug tone and there's something about that old film project beep that makes me crave glue.
