"You shouldn't feel bad about eating an octopus alive or boiling a lobster alive. It's tastier and they don't feel pain anyway."

- Dylan16807 4y agoIf someone is making it up, that's terrible, but if they're basing it on some evidence it's not crazy. Not everything, not even all humans, have the same types of pain.
- yieldcrv 4y agoThat's a great example because I disagreed with them and have no problem consuming anything based on its nervous system or perceptive capabilities but then these same people, themselves, will suddenly have a cognitive maturity enough to notice things the same way I could my whole life, and then freak out about consuming them!? I'm dumfounded! When was that the line!? It was only the line because in some cultures the humans were cognitively stunted the whole time!? Can I trust a single thing they say and perceive? Can they even pass the turing test?
- sarchertech 4y agoThere’s a huge difference in brainpower between an octopus and a lobster. I don’t personally boil lobster alive, but I only place them slightly above plants and bivalves on my personal scale of how bad I feel bad for killing/eating them.
