Real "Insects can't feel pain" energy. Le reddit "I'm going to get downvoted for this" doesn't make your take any less horrible.
Bro you're kidding me right? He's saying straight out that this is horrible and Elon is a sociopath, he's not defending this but rather calling it out for being fucking awful. Him saying that our brains and their brains don't work the exact same isn't him defending it but rather calling out false information. Different parts have different sizes and limits specific functions that they haven't evolved to have, just how a few days ago we had a post here about how baboons were flinging around the dead fetus from a stillbirth and they couldn't go in and take care of it because the risks involved. Their brains just aren't as developed as ours, but that doesn't mean this is acceptable behavior. It's fucking deplorable and needs to be outright forbidden.
This is shit straight out of a horror film! But don't use lies to make it seem worse, that just makes you look shallow, that you can't relate to an animal if it's wired slightly different than you.
Judging by their response I would say that my judgement call was spot on.
No, absolutely not. You're as wrong as you could be. He never responded after his first comment, check the authors. You had your argument with an entirely different 3rd person.
