Revolutionary Ideas

This is a partial catalog of the most revolutionary ideas our species has encountered: some historical, many developing in my lifetime, and a few that remain conjectures. Progressively, science has stripped down our anthropocentric conceits. If the past is any guide, this trend should continue. All of these ideas were at one point, heretical by the religious and/or scientific establishment.

• The Earth is not the center of the universe. There is no center.
• Nature was not placed here solely for our benefit. And it cannot be easily "managed."
• The universe is incredibly old. And has changed continually.
• Evolution continues, our species is not the end point.
• We are not the only species to use language or tools.
• We are not the only species to experience emotion.
• We are not the only species to use reason, logic and memory. Consciousness is a continuum whose upper limit is unknowable to us.
• We may not be the most intelligent species on the planet.
• Intelligence is possible in other "substrates"; i.e. Artificial Intelligence. Or in simulations of substrates.
• Extraterrestrial intelligence is possible, even highly probable.
• Other worlds in the solar system may have developed life. Perhaps before the Earth did.

What other ones should be on the list?
