emacs org-mode on desktop

I admit, it is not terribly easy to get started. I think the emacs tutorial alone takes half an hour then you need to learn org-mode.

but it's pretty badass

What’s this special trait humans have that other sentient being do not possess that allows us to do that to them?

they aren't human.

have a nice day.

so you can see, in this case, NDT was right that vegans also practice speciesism, even if his other arguments are kinda stupid.

we say that humans have a right

i don't. rights are a fiction.

we should extend the same rights to sentient beings because there is no morally relevant difference between us and other sentient beings

yes there is.

But you would agree that the rocks themselves cannot have an issue with it?

yea. it doesn't change whether you're practicing discrimination.

as I’ve literally stated in my earlier comment the discrimination is not based on species but on sentience

you don't seem to understand that you have decided, for instance, oak trees do not have sentience, and you treat all oak trees as though they are the same due to their membership in the class "oak tree" instead of treating them as individuals. it's speciesism. and, in fact, you do this to sentient animals too, classing them all together and setting a standard to treat them based on their class membership. it's speciesism. it's just speciesism you agree with.

The only time where you can make an argument that doing something to a non sentient being is an issue is when it affects a sentient being.

consequentialism is fraught with epistemic problems. how can you know what might effect a sentient being at some point in the future?

it makes no sense to speak about discrimination for a non sentient being/object.

we discriminate between cars and motorcycles.

Would you say that someones that likes smashing rocks is discriminating against rocks?

i wouldn't say they're are discriminating against rocks. i'd say they are using discrimination and allowing themselves to smash objects they class as "rocks"

The discriminatory criteria is sentience.

that's as arbitrary as any other criteria. and you're still treating all members of a class differently because of their membership in that class. it's discrimination. discrimination based on species is speciesism. it's just a speciesism you agree with.
