@alex @issdeinschnitzel @igel @fixpoint Does it mean you have morals tho?

Like having sexual organs is a prerequisite to having sex but I'm a virgin, so clearly one doesn't necessarily lead to the other

@alex @igel @issdeinschnitzel @realcaseyrollins it invites too many questions about the nature of moral value: where does it come from, is it equal in all individuals.

a simple trait one can come up with is moral agency, which we generally consider to be absent in animals. but moral value being dependent on moral agency seems like a circular argument, so p1 is very, very flawed.

@issdeinschnitzel @alex @igel @fixpoint Wait I just realized something; is there evidence that animals are moral, or have a moral complexity approaching that of humans?

@alex @issdeinschnitzel @igel IDK a lot of people think the incestuous are contemptible and borderline subhuman.

Plus, if we're going to be logically consist, the same moral code should exist for both humans and animals anyway. Like if humans and animals are the same there should be the same level of disgust or apathy for incest in both cases.

Either we have the same rules for all species, or we don't.

@alex @issdeinschnitzel @igel

There are a lot of factual issues in P2 of the first argument from your picture btw

But I would agree that if animals and humans have the same worth than veganism definitely is the logical moral ideology as a consequence

Either that or that cannibalism and/or hunting humans for sport is okay lol

@alex @issdeinschnitzel @igel

So, is bestiality okay? If humans are just any other animal. Like nobody stopped a donkey and a zebra from mating, in fact we all watched to see what would happen.

Spoiler alert: Zonkeys, zonkeys happened.

@issdeinschnitzel @realcaseyrollins @alex @igel it's really not. it usually only comes up when I go out to eat and they question why I'm orderin from the vegan menu.
