not just mash rocks
we can program robots.
math
n stuff
this gets complicated
thankfully, being human, we can deal with complicated.
we are just organisms that figured out that we're organisms
Yes, minus the "just" part.
intelligence is great.
yeah
It's not neutral.
a cat can't build a house but it can make a house a home ;-;
and mooch off of you, yes.
we are much more superior in our thinking
don't take me wrong, I have a cat
it's a give and take relationship
but a cat building a house isnt mental capabilities
but I'm clearly superior to it, as are you, and as is Nathan
its physical weakness
yes
plus we did physically breed and engineer it to certain conditions to feel power over it etc
we all are weak compared to larger animals like gorillas
yet harambe gets shot, he doesn't shoot.
yeah
cats actually kind of domesticated themselves
No, we didn't breed animals "to feel power over them"
we bred them to make them useful.
our large advantage is being able to craft things and evolving to be able to use things
yes
and for entertainment purposes etc
that was secondary
hunting you know
just general stuff
and immoral, in my view
yeah
but at this stage we screwed them up so much they cant live without us
a lot of breeding is immoral
just think about pugs as an example of that
the German Shepherd is a breed that can be proud of itself
the chihuahua is in constant agony
