"They dared question me today -- me! Aristotle! -- on why I refer to Earth as ours. I laughed, a deep, booming laugh that echoed through the symposium walls. 'Look around,' I said. 'The world belongs to Homo sapiens because we took it. Beasts may claw and howl, but they lack the foresight to pave roads, brew beer, or sculpt marble statues in their own image. That’s the game, my friends. This little bitch of a planet belongs to us because we said so."
