that's why Singer said the stuff he did...
about how you don't even treat animals like that.
you don't even treat non-persons like that.
you don't even approach the non-living world like that.well, i don't know if he said precisely that....
there is something in pan-psychism... with repect to a... caring. respectful. peaceful. approach to... the universe.
because i wonder where the people are / where the people go.
but even if there aren't people... even if all of these are just empty shell zombies with no conscious experience such that they cannot feel any pain or suffering... even if all that was the case...
there would still be something fundamentally wrong about going on a mass rampage for purely for fun.
something wrong about mass destruction.
i don't know.
what happened to intellectual / academic community?
oh, yeah, there got to be a bunch of money around universities and a bunch of people more interested in collecting it me-wards than in anything else...
i'm never doing philosophy again after this.
