The Trump administration has crafted a draft bill — ordered by the president — that would declare America's abandonment of World Trade Organization rules, according to Axios. The bill essentially provides President Donald Trump — who has argued for a better position for the U.S. in big trade pacts — a license to raise U.S. tariffs at will, without congressional consent and largely outside of the international rules governed by the WTO. The bill, titled the "United States Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act," would give Trump unilateral power to ignore the two most basic principles of the WTO and negotiate one-on-one with any country.

I was gong to retort to GP, "anthropocentric" but really, terracentric (heliocentric?) is much more encompassing.
Still, "mind" isn't not solely a human purview, even on earth. The very stupidest humans, who are granted human rights, are often less intelligent, by quantitative measures, than smart instances of other apes, cephalopods, cetaceans, who are given no rights despite having "superior" minds on all metrics than the very stupidest humans.
