The only species on the planet to forge metal isn't special?
The only species to artificially cause itself to fly isn't special?
The only species to write isn't special?
Humanity has work to do, yes. But nowhere in that process does there need to be a step to bring ourselves down. Quite the opposite. If people think we're worth nothing, we won't do shit. However, if we accept that we are, in fact, something incredibly important, we will be more inclined to respect the responsibility that comes with the power to end a planet.
You don't tell a kid "no, you'll never be President, but if you work hard, you might land middle-management" and expect them to get good grades.

Eh, don't need to look like Buddy Holly. My iPod says enough. Hell, I'm listening to an album by The Apples In Stereo as I type this.

If you zoom out enough nothing is special.
If you zoom in on the other hand....

Oh we're special. We have immense potential. We could do so much.

Hey, gorgeous
The human species is, in no sense whatsoever, important. Except perhaps to itself, but that's exactly the sort of baseless egocentrism you would expect from a species one percentage point away from a chimpanzee.
Humanity does need to be brought down, and quite desperately. Mostly because it's spent the last five thousand years telling itself that it's much better than it really is.

Nothing is important in the big picture.
So I should be able to kill with impunity.

Indeed. Humans have ruled for too long. The mighty platypus needs to take over. They'll run things right.

Biology does not work that way, man. No, seriously, look up how much that "percentage point" is worth.

Nothing is important.
Hell, the gods themselves aren't really that important, unless beings on other planets are worshipping them. (In which case, good job, think maybe you could send me to the other end of the galaxy next reincarnation?)
So if nothing matters, nothing is significant. . . Why not stop sulking and have an adventure? I mean, this planet is fucked in a few billion years anyway, nothing we can do on that front.

Hey, gorgeous
Funny you should say that, because I'm rather sanguine about the whole situation.
The only people who whine about not belonging in the world and wanting to kill untermenschen are the ones who've lost their illusion. People who had their hearts broken when they realized that they aren't the paragon of progress they thought they were.
That's part of the point, really. As a species, we've put off admitting how mediocre we really are, and I think the reason people behave so childishly when confronted with that fact is because they've had their hearts broken. That said, we have to crash sometime, and sooner is better than later. The sooner we take an honest look at ourselves, the sooner we can solve our very real problems.
Pretending that we're the best thing since the Big Bang and just have a few kinks to work out isn't helping.

"Mediocre" and "painting the Sistine Chapel" are mutually exclusive.
