It's definitely because we think we're special.
Basically we think something along the lines of:
Either we're maybe possibly quite smart, or everyone else is
maybe quite stupid. (Which is relative and really the same thing).
I look at the history of mankind and equate it with the
drunken, stumbling, blunders of an idiot and I'm all but sure
that there is plenty that has been missed.
Harnessing the gravitational field for energy could be one of
the missed.
