most animals you eat
funny how carnists always assume everybody else is also a murderer
Right?! I'd think "non-human animals are more aware of themselves than small children" would be an argument against eating animals, not an argument for killing small children.
if i may modestly propose an alternative, what if we ate babies?
in typical techbro psychopath fashion, big chud just wants excuses to get away with murder. 100% sure this freak would eat a baby if given the chance, 50% sure he's already done so.
lol um..
Ia friend of mine may have um.. had maddox's shitty book when i was like 15 and i remember he had a section on veganism and literally made that argument saying children and old people are dumb and no one is advocating to eat them so its ok to eat animals or something. Idk its been ages
This is an incorrect conclusion from this discussion, because the correct conclusion from anything Yudkowsky says is "this man is a fascist moron and should be lined up against the wall".
Tons of indigenous societies didn’t count babies as human until their first birthday. Before then it was acceptable to get rid of them. Because easy abortion wasn’t always possible and sometimes women gave birth to kids that they wanted to abort but couldn’t. Or because famine periods coincided with the birth of the baby and they didn’t have any food for it. Or for whatever reason, Etc etc
How can Yud produce nuclear-level Peter Singer takes without being vegan? He's a real genius all right
i thought birth was the compromise. our ancestors had radically different ideas about when children became people, due to infant mortality being higher.
Yudipass is putting it in a pretty terrible way but babies weren't "people" for the purposes of "murder" until relatively recently in western reckoning.
Oh yeah that was the joke I was making, middle between 0 and 18 months = 9 months.
I would say that twitter is a cesspool but it isn’t so much the den of iniquity itself, as it is those who frequent it.
maybe I’m just arguing whether guns kill or people kill.
the whole fucking thing should be nuked from orbit just to be sure.
this guy was invited by an antisemitic AI to bring about the Nazi singularity i'm convinced
why no option for the exact age of Elizer Yudlowsky in milliseconds? his brain is lesser than that of most animals
