each of my statements is a verifiable fact. your reaction here smacks of a horse laugh fallacy.

these are all just platitudes. it doesn’t change the truth of what I’ve said.

supply and demand is a theory about price discovery. it does not dictate market production.

whether and animal is killed entirely up to the person doing the killing. whether I buy meat or not does not change what that person decides. I can’t be responsible for the actions of somebody else.

no, they’re not. an action in the future cannot cause an event in the past.

mourning is not, itself, proof of understanding of personal mortality. losing a companion doesn’t indicate they know they, themselves, might die.

How the fuck can you hear of a living being pecking itself to death in its own shit and think “dumb bird”?

this characterization has no basis in anything i’ve said.

hardly anyone kills animals at all, except pests or by accident

as far as I know, chickens have never been proven to understand personal mortality. if you can point me to a cognitive-behaviorist study that shows otherwise, id be fascinated

thx

being in a concentration camp doesn’t give him any expertise on animal cognition. nor ethics. you are certainly falling for a genetic fallacy.

comparing slaves, or Holocaust victims, to animals is gross and you should stop doing that

this smacks of a genetic fallacy

but regardless, the Holocaust was wrong, in part, precisely because it did treat humans like animals. this is not an indictment of how we treat animals.

and no animal knows what a Nazi is.

eating meat is probably amoral

comparing slaves to animals is gross

pearl clutchers never cared about whether artists prefer ubiquity over obscurity. I forsee a cc license that explicitly opts into model training, and the whiners unable to distinguish between that, endorsing all model training, or actual generated content. to them it will all be called slop.

I was told we didn’t start a war.

choosing a course of action that results surely in extinction is genocidal

you can’t know what others need

Anyway. I see you’re not serious in this conversation and are just trolling. Have a good one.

this is an ad hominem and a thought terminating cliche. what i’m saying is true. your fallacious rhetoric doesn’t change that.

Our best scientific understanding is that a CNS is essential for sentience

i think what you mean is that sentience has only been substantiated in organisms with a cns.
