Alienated Consciousness and 'Human'

Perhaps the most subtle source of an Alienated Consciousness is the common use of 'human'.  Most frequently it is presented as synonymous with 'fallible', and occasionally with 'mortal'.  Now, in these cases, what is signified is some personal characteristic, one that happens to be instantiated in each person.  But typically lacking in the awareness that one is 'human' is any Species-Consciousness, i. e. that one is part of an organism, intrinsically related to every other 'human'.  In other words, according to the common use of 'human', one's Humanness consists in fallibility, and, perhaps, mortality, thereby suppressing the fact of one's membership in the Human collective.  This engendering of an Alienated Consciousness is thus ironic.
