Humans and the acausal treatment of non-humans

5:21:24 PMatheismI just ordered the blt salad
5:22:54 PMLowInformationVoteratheism: Please keep your topics within scope.
5:25:44 PM@PhaenomenalJust a salad? Surely there are chicken tenders on the side somewhere?
5:26:48 PM@karstensrageZiddy, any other recommendations based on that i really like the hook of that one, but not the "chorus" parts so much
5:27:30 PMLowInformationVoterBy chicken tenders, Phaenomenal means the torn up and smash bits of previously living chickens.
5:28:53 PMLowInformationVoterIt's not necessary, of course, to eat chicken parts in order to survive -- it merely tastes good.
5:28:58 PMLowInformationVoterAnd all it costs the chicken is their one and only life.
5:29:12 PMLowInformationVoterWell, about 80 billion chicken one-and-only lives per year.

5:33:41 PM@karstensragethat 2nd one is super groovy thanks Ziddy
5:34:03 PM@karstensrageits got that same kind of hooky feeling
5:34:36 PMLowInformationVoterkarstensrage, the sometimes atheist.
5:34:55 PMLowInformationVoterHere are some words that would benefit you, Phaenomenal, if you consider them deeply:
5:35:00 PMLowInformationVoter"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion...
5:35:21 PMLowInformationVoter...We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear...
5:35:35 PM@karstensragesuper weird vid
5:35:41 PMLowInformationVoter...They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.
5:36:08 PMLowInformationVoter-- Henry Beston, friend to life on Earth
5:36:11 PMLowInformationVoterBe like Henry Beston.
5:36:37 PM@karstensrageno lone digger
5:37:21 PMLowInformationVoterWhy should you be kind to non-humans, when you can smash them with little consequence?
5:37:31 PMLowInformationVoterBecause of acausal decision theory, aka the categorical imperative.
5:37:36 PM× You have been kicked by karstensrage (karstensrage)

5:38:28 PM Ignoring karstensrage!*@*
5:39:27 PMLowInformationVoterWhen you, here on lonely surface of Earth, are kind to animals expressly because you believe that being kind to animals as a result of the categorial imperative, then you acasually determine all beings in the universe, who, once aware of the categorical imperative construct, will also be kind to non-humans.
5:39:56 PMLowInformationVoterWhich is to say, you can acausally determine the nature of the entire universe and future universe by each small action in this lifetime.

5:40:22 PMLowInformationVoterWhich universe would you prefer to live in: One in which powerful beings are kind shepherds to those who have less power, or those that smash whenever they can avoid consequence?
5:41:14 PMLowInformationVoterWe're the first species in the history of Earth to be aware of the categorical imperative or acausal decision theory.
5:41:33 PMLowInformationVoterThe first to look skyward and see the strings loop back into our own minds.
