They do too
not all of them
But really what is 'human' is more about definition than anything else. There's no clear line where one animal becomes another
i'd say genetics
chromosome count
state of sentience
But how different do the genetics have to be?
Humans have variability in all of those cases
its not how different
its how similar
That's the same thing worded differently
no its not
how so?
it has more to do with intellectual capacity for complex reasoning and rationality, ability to communicate linguistically and accept moral agency, etc
if things are similar, you check for overlapping similarities
If you look at the difference, you pick a different category
It is why a whale is a mammal, and not a fish
But then vegetables aren't human(or aren't deserving of rights if that's what you mean)
that AND some common sense.... like AIs and stuff.... purely cybernetics, etc.. clearly not human (common sense)
Yeah, but similarity is just a measurement of difference where you look for smaller amounts of difference
Humans are quite similar to many animals
yes, but it narrows it down considerably
you start from the opposite end basically
like i said, its more about a highly evolved state of sentience (spiritual, philosophical, etc)
but either way you put it there's no clear line in how similar you have to be to still be considered a human
less about genetics per se
i'd say to the point that any sample of you can be recognised as human
say you're given a cell, and they check its chromosome count/genome etc
I mean, a dead person, is still the corpse of a human
His state of life (thus lack of sentience) doesn't discount his humanity
but evolution is often a very slow change, and what's seen as anatomically modern human today may vary from those 300 years from now
thats a way of measuring/quantifying one way out of many potential ways outside of biology
well you don't compare with humans of old, you compare to the current average human
its like uhm
We used to be the same primates as modern monkeys
But they aren't human, even though the same generation 100,000 years ago for example would be the same being
We didn't evolve from monkeys
we share a genetic ancestor with them
thats what i said
we used to be the same primates
the elite have a fantasy of splitting us down different evolutionary paths gradually with all the "soft" eugenics going on indirectly and directly
and modern monkeys used to be that same one
the elite aren't smart enough for that
like straight up Eloi/Morlocks from the Time Machine status .... more or less LOL
I wish, then atleast they'd have a plan
