"Basically if we bring back dinosaurs it will be to torture them for our amusement and curiosity". Just a thought experiment, I hope I won't be downvoted to hell. Isn't this the predicament of all beings? You might say, that some people enjoy life, but at that point you should
1) Confirm that all beings are not answering with a Stockholm Syndrome
2) Confirm what is the subjective experience of the dinosaur
- Name_Chawps 4y agoI have neutral or positive emotions most of the time, and negative emotions only rarely. I almost never have negative thoughts (anymore). You hit me with Stockholm Syndrome; I respond with Typical Mind Fallacy. Just because your life is largely suffering, you assume that all humans lives must largely consist of suffering. This is not true.

- citizenpaul 4y agoI was not talking about purpose. I meant that dinosaur are not biologically capable of living in this time period or this environment of earth. They would have to be on life support from birth. Even than it would take many years of trying before we figured out how to keep them alive. Which means they would start dying a slow agonizing death from the moment we create them. It would be like dropping people off on Venus and saying make the best of the sulfuric acid atmosphere. Have you ever seen a killer whale in captivity with its top fin floppy/not standing up straight. They have no idea why that happens in captivity they cannot figure out even after many decades of them being captive. Now imagine that with millions of years of difference.
