    This thought experiment is perfect to rethink our moral values. We wouldn’t agree that it’s morally right to do that to us, just because aliens would be much smarter. But that’s how most people justify how badly we treat farm animals

      I don’t care if I get called out and hated for it, but I wish the aliens do come about and exterminate humanity and this is my longest standing prayer. I will even be the first in line as a sacrifice if it means all the bad humans get it.

      We share this planet with other living beings god damn, but all we do is exploit everything and everyone. Not even different species, fuck no, we even do it to our own. Fuck yeah I am a xenophobe, I don’t believe humans are altruist, we are selfish scum.

        For some people, your comment might sound radical. For me it sounds like a sane and rational conclusion when someone reflects on how humans treat animals and nature

          and such arguments tend to pipeline towards veganism or whatever. I am not saying don’t eat eat meat, I just mean, control your gluttony. again I am an atheist, but I think this is rational thinking.
