    I’m not even against the killing of people. Only suffering bothers me.

      Hey, you most likely weren’t raised vegan, too. I’d also argue that to oppose suffering, you have to give individuals (i.e./that is people) some sort of worth, but then most killing doesn’t check out.

        Naw, I know some people with negative worth who still shouldn’t be suffering. In fact, I’m pretty sure they’re suffering from their lack of worth. This is a matter of ethics, not value.

          Those might be suffering from lack of self-worth, but making difference between people’s worth opens up a can of ethical mold. Misanthropy is one thing, but the value of human life is untouchable.

            No, that attitude is simple evolutionary pressure to stay alive. The value of a human is no different from the value of a cow ethically, and I’ll eat cow. I don’t want either to suffer. Some people are economically far less valuable than cows.

              Cultural evolution > Social Darwinism

              Do you eat human? From a “farm”? Or shot “in the wild”?

              Right to exist is not touched by effort.

              Do you know what would reduce suffering for both cow and human?

                Nobody has a right to exist. You have to fight just like anything else.

                  I really hope for your environment that you don’t actually believe or implement this.
