You don't know how rare self-aware organisms with free will are, nor do any of us. I can't look at a transmission and tell you how to fix it and I also can't look through a telescope and tell you how many planets have complex life on them. That doesn't mean anything--it just means I don't know how to do it.
We have one example, life on Earth, and it seems self-awareness and free will are pretty common.
If life is common, and free will where there's life is common, where does the "humans are special" part come in?
