Wanting and wishing is never doing. As much as we pretend to be evolved sentient spiritual beings. The size of our brains does not correlate with the capability for intelligent decision-making. Calling ourselves 'Homo Sapient' is narcissist braggadocio, left over from the perverted nationalist-racist propaganda based upon the19th century pseudo-science of eugenics.
