    Why bring in the plant thing? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about that. The ai death cult thing sure, but the plant thing I haven’t even seen before. Seems weird.

      I have, unfortunately. It’s an argument made to trivialize the suffering of animals (i.e. under human control) by making pain and suffering an unavoidable and universal constant (appealing to the futility and foolishness of trying to reduce it or think about it.)

        Seems more niche than the ai argument but idk it’s clearly something that happens often enough to you to bother you so go off monarch
