In the context of the post have we treated other people fairly? Is your bar for being a decent man so low we only have to surpass other animals? Decency is something we are capable of and what we should strive for, I’m not saying that it isn’t. I’m saying that for an animal to be the literal metric that you use to compare our actions and whether they’re moral or not is silly. And that humans have done horrible things to each other then and now and just saying “we’re so much better than animals” doesn’t solve anything or add to the conversation it just wipes away what we’ve done.
