Humans got the short end of the stick, CMV

Out of all organisms on earth, humans are the worst off. We are burdened by our own intelligence. Our perception of time puts us in constant fear of running out while our desire to gain knowledge is ultimately useless. Sure it would be great if we had a slight intellectual advantage over other animals but we are now in a class of our own. It has come to the extent where we can no longer realistically live as part of the animal kingdom but only observe it. Many would say our creation of the modern world is a great achievement and is concrete evidence of how amazing the human race is, but would it not be better if we were on a more even playing ground with the rest of the animal kingdom considering we would be ignorant to all the possibilities of creation and just as happy if not more happy without it?

I don't see intelligence as a burden since it also grants most of us some form of emotional stability. Humanity as a whole isn't overburdened with existential crises and depression. If that were true, we would not be as successful as we are as a race. Also consider the fact that the lives of animals in nature is far less glamorous than documentaries would have you believe. Look into the lives of primates and see how much they fight over resources or the fact that other creatures of high intelligence do have a sense of mortality and mourn their dead (elephants for example). We don't have an objective and clear means of communicating with other species so the cognitive burdens they bear or lack thereof is purely speculative idealism. Humans have a ton of advantages in an evolutionary sense. It's just a matter of perspective and how we use them.
