Not that we're better than the Sea Monkey because, quite obviously the Sea Monkey is a glorious thing, in and of itself. But I think what makes us special is that we represent the Universe becoming sentient--aware of itself. Raw math and physics manifesting into more than just math and physics. I can't help being just a little bloody pleased with that....arrogant as it is.

...but this is supposed to be about Sea Monkeys, isn't it. Damn self-absorbed humans. Thinking it's all about them...typical.
Whoowee, we're sentient. But it's just a "step" of evolution. What i'm trying to get at, is that those sea monkeys think on a very basic level, compared to us. But, like sea monkeys, we can't comprehend the next level that's beyond us. We can't see the entire scope of intelligence or evolution, we just look around at our own little earth and proclaim ourselves superior to all beings, merely becuase we can't comprehend a more advanced state of being. For all we know, we ARE sea monkeys.
A blind person who was born blind, has no comprehension of colors. The idea is "alien" to him. This is the perfect example of higher understanding, higher evolution.
