Pearl: "Humans just lead short, boring, insignificant lives so they make up stories to feel like they're a part of something bigger. They want to blame all the world's problems on some single enemy they can fight instead of a complex network of interrelated forces beyond anyone's control" 

Amethyst: “It’s sad, and funny.” 

If Steven gave what Pearl just said any thought, he’d realized she indirectly called his dad, his human friends, boring and insignificant… Soooooooo, what does that make Steven, half boring and insignificant? Steven better start acting as the human race’s ambassador and correcting the gem race’s perspective on humanity soon or things will start to get ugly, to say the least.

Interesting thing about what Pearl said is that if human lives were so insignificant, why would the Crystal Gems exist as “humanity’s protectors?” Even Amethyst wasn’t disagreeing with Pearl at all. Keep in mind that the Crystal Gems are supposed to be the ‘heroes’ here. If all, or ‘most,’ (assuming Rose didn’t have this opinion) gems believe this, could you imagine other gems coming to Earth and treating the Earth like an ant hill and the human race like an ants? And when that happens it should be an episode that isn't practically 10 minutes...
