I bet med schools kill similar numbers to Neuralink per year, and they've got nothing on the meat industry when it comes to suffering and death.
I'm not an Musk defender, and I'm a vegetarian, so this makes me at best uncomfortable. Knowing Musk, some deaths are probably due to pressure from the top, but this is a drop in the bucket when it comes to animal suffering.
- iancmceachern 4y agoAnd by the same logic the handful of people that Charles Manson killed was a drop in the bucket too.
- dehrmann 4y agoNot the same. I'm saying there's a double standard for non-human mammal life; torture and eat is ok, torture for science isn't. The de minimis argument wasn't the key point. Charles Manson also didn't kill anyone.
- iancmceachern 4y agoWe don't torture to eat. That's an incorrect assertion. Manson did kill people, he is in jail for doing so.
- dehrmann 4y ago> We don't torture to eat. Right; torture is just a side effect. Same as with whatever Elon's doing in the name of science. > Manson did kill people, he is in jail for doing so. He didn't, and he died in 2017. He might have conspired in murders his cult carried out, but the evidence wasn't great.
