I don’t use the word hero very often, but you, are the greatest hero in American history.

I have!

Yes it’s an interesting thought experiment and I am guessing you believe it is relevant because you could imagine yourself as an animal and it would be a poor world if you were treated the same way as animals used for food are?

My argument against it would be that the veil of ignorance focuses on members in the society and this isn’t extended to animals.

Sentience may not necessarily mean moral relevance.

For example to be a member of a moral community, which are groups of people who agree to uphold and undertake certain actions with a shared belief of what is good or bad, requires more than just sentience.

For me personally the ability to hold someone accountable for their actions in some way is an important component of moral community membership.

Animals are not held accountable in the same fashion as humans and so it could be argued they don’t deserve membership in our moral community.

If that’s the case then they have some kind of diminished moral standing.

You may then argue that a fetus or comatose person also has diminished moral standing so what obligation do we have in those instances?

One answer to that would be to hold the belief that although a fetus or comatose person is unable to have complete membership to a moral community they are impeded by other circumstances and if those impediments were removed they would be full members. A cow on the other hand will always retain the cognition of a cow, excluding it from full membership.

Wow that’s nice to see that they repaired that relationship.

Charlie said some pretty mean shit about Chuck at the time and they tossed his ass out with good cause.

Sucked too because two and a half men was never the same.

Honestly I was more just checking my own understanding of active/passive nihilism.

Not trying to pick apart a meme. Although I do find it humorous that they were trying to have an original thought that was already well known.

These are all good books.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

Isn’t that just Active Nihilism?

The meaning becomes the search for meaning?

This makes me so mad I’m going to shoot your dog.

It certainly wasn’t a previous post by me that’s for sure.

Because if I don’t point out that it’s a bad idea no one will know how big brain I am!!!

It’s wild you’re even questioning whether air powered firearms should be treated the same as a rimfire or centre fire firearm.

There are countries where people require a regular firearm license to own an airsoft gun let alone an airgun.

Sometimes people make a meme from the perspective of a different person for humorous effect.

NyEhhh I don’t think so.

And I’m never wrong about this stuff. Never.

Fido the zombie movie?

Make sure you get me a head coffin.

Crazy is the wrong word when referring to her mental health issues.

But she did have some crazy takes. Like not mental health related, just crazy/zany/bat shit.

The H in H2O stands for homosexual, it’s true, look it up.

At the time I judged her harshly, she was crazy but wasn’t wrong about this.

Start a club then.

Call it ‘Social walking in the park’

The purpose is to make new friends and get to know other students. It’s free and you regularly meet a a local park at XX day at YY time to walk around together before getting an optional lunch/brunch/afternoon tea etc.

What was he trying to say? That you put the small cog on the front and the big cog on the back the bike will be harder to push?

That one absolutely shocks me.

It’s way too on the nose.

I bet 1984 is not banned without a hint of irony though.
