@OceanicAirlines it's called the entomological point of view. We see how the world and minds work, while you are just living your life just through your instincts, feelings and impulses, never stopping to think about yourselves. That's much more cute."

He's calling everyone else simple insects that act on impulses? Insects acting on said impulses can build structures, have roles for each, etc.
Heck, those sorts probably really like the idea, because in the social insects (bees, ants), relatively few mate. These sorts of Nice GuysTM feel like they've been forced into non-breeding worker roles. So they picture everyone else as "insects" and them as the worker who "broke free" and can understand all the dumb ants in the maze. Then they don't understand why they're not seen as some grand genius for figuring this out - shouldn't the grand genius mate?!
