How we value it. If an acorn were conscious, knowing its potential would change the way that it might think and feel about itself.

Of the four billion life forms which have existed on this planet, three billion, nine hundred and sixty million are now extinct. We don't know why. Some by wanton extinction, some through natural catastrophe, some destroyed by meteorites and asteroids.
