Because those animals are cool. You see the others you mentioned too, but you don’t see animals no one likes. It’s less soul searching and finding you are something else and more finding something cool and wanting to be like it.
Which, don’t get me wrong, i totally get. I’m a transhumanist, i understand being just human is a negative.
I completely forgot this got existed. Huh.
And will try to reduce you to pebbles soon, or something similar.
I mean, kinda yeah, but that doesn’t really mean anything to the comment you replied to.
Mostly the same, i was raised to be a worthless red neck. I’m not. The issue with using our experiences is that we are people, we have an inner world and are capable of free thought. Trump’s followers aren’t.
That’s what I’m considering once they start killing or putting people into camps (might not happen this 4 years, but that is objectively what they are trying to do). I’m learning Japanese and they have been increasing their protection rate of refugees, and Germany’s rate is routinely very high (last i checked) so that’s an option too.
That’s nice and all, but progress isnt tied to the idea that trash needs to be respected. It is more important that every deserving personlive a decent life than it is to give those animals what they well and truly deserve (which is what we are all currently getting anyway). They should get a standard minimum quality of life because it is the easiest way to ensure those that do deserve it get it.
