The Bolivian president dismissed objections as excessively human-centric. Humans have an over-inflated sense of their own importance, Morales said. They dont realize that their lives and happiness are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Morales asserted that human consciousness is destabilizing and that the sooner it is eliminated, the safer it will be for the planet to live out its natural life.
