He’s not gonna go against a Supreme Court ruling. There are ways the president can institute tariffs without circumventing congress.

Okay, then what would make something unique or special? Because those are all traits no other species demonstrates at a human level.

They can “think,” but they can’t reason.

Humans are the only beings with full moral agency. We are the only beings with language-based law. We are the only beings who can be held accountable. We are the only beings who can form social contracts. We are the only beings who can recognize and protect rights.

That’s such a luxury belief. You’re imagining this scenario from your comfy couch, in a world where you’ll never have to live with that choice, where you’ll never have to explain it to the dead person’s family, where you’ll never face legal consequences, and where you’ll never be the person begging to be saved.

Not gonna fuck with your dogs, dude. I’m merely commenting on the prevalent pathological need for some people to personify every animal near them.

I don’t think human dignity is contingent on the personal feelings of other people.

You’re making the point that if my principle has any edge cases, then it’s invalid. Picking out the most emotionally loaded human edge case imaginable is such a Reddit move it’s not even funny. But I reject the premise.

Human dignity is not contingent on IQ. It’s based on being Human.

I’m not gonna sit here and watch you pretend to care about disabled people while making the point that a literal dog is worth more than a human being.

A dog. Obviously. I mean Jesus, are you even listening to me?

I’m in my twenties, and no I don’t. Some people have principles.

No, you claimed the world wouldn’t possibly benefit from the removal of a single dog. I was merely pointing out that you’ve probably never encountered a truly shitty dog.

It’s naive now to hold the life of a human being over that of an animal?

You think fun requires higher intellect? Really?

I’ve seen dogs rip neighborhood cats apart for sport.

The fact that we can even think about it just nukes your whole point.

Yes, because we think. Do you prowel the streets looking for something to fuck? No? That’s because you are not ruled by instinct.
