    Humans have a choice and moral compass, yet still create unnecessary mass death for personal gain.

    We do. And yet that is not all we are. Should one aspect of what it means to be human being valued above the others? The elevation of critical thinking faculties to being the measure of a man is a very modern post Renaissance concept, one that is slowly losing traction thankfully

      “That is not all we are” is not an excuse for unethical behavior. Recognizing the needless death of trillions of innocent, sentient beings is not a critical thinking exercise. It is something one willingly turns a blind eye to.

      Why would you celebrate the loss of critical thinking?

        I didn’t say it’s being lost

          You celebrate the loss of critical thinking right here in your own words.

            The elevation of them being the measure of a man is being lost, not the critical thinking skills themselves.

            You know that reading comprehension is an aspect of critical thinking right? So is the capacity to engage in the discussion without attacking the speaker?

              I’m aware. Please quote where I attacked you.
