Says who?
We crossed that bridge millenia ago....been raising and eating animals ever since.
Says who?
Tasty, tasty animals.
But why is your life more valuable than that of any other animal?
I think humans as a whole say so.
Sentience for starters.
How did humans come to that conclusion?
This is true, we can love someone even though that person may be a very bad person, and we are aware that we are doing so.
Thats the hubris of the top of the evolutionary pile tbh.
See: sentience.
robdiaz has been taking his game to the next level lately.
Im thoroughly enjoying the discussion, rob.
Speaking of sentience, how do we know for sure that other animals do not possess a limited amount of sentience.
What if they do, but we are not aware enough to realize it?
Animals feel pain just as we do. So why is it okay to kill an animal and not a human?
Yup...and the guy wasn't even in the POTM. He deserves it tbh.
Ive often wondered that myself.
Some animals do have some limited amount of sentience. Most notably apes, elephants, and some species of birds. God must be one ed up looking creature.
Thats a value judgement sentients make everytime they order a burger. Also, see humanitarianism. Anthromorphizing a cow is dicey at best.
RG bolted. Isn't even sure of his own beliefs. What a clown.
Not sur bout speling.
In b4 RG Youtube vid.
Sentience may be just a matter of degrees. Other animals such as dogs for example may be aware of their surroundings, they feel, taste, smell, etc, but they are allso better capable than us in certain areas. Dogs seem to know when an epileptic is going to have a fit before the human does.
Some animals can sense earthquakes before they occur.
Why is that?
Why can't humans do this?
So who are we to say that's what makes us the top of the animal kingdom, our ability to be sentient, or self aware?
because we're higher on the food chainPERIOD
