- ajmurmann 3y agoIMO, octopus are too smart to be eaten ethically.
- soperj 3y agoMushrooms could be the most intelligent organism on earth.
- stOneskull 3y agofungus in general like how the ground fungus communicates through earth, the invisible flying fungus might have a wifi-type system.. 'we found bread!'
- hinkley 3y agoI love Suzanne Simard but I strongly believe she has mistaken osmotic pressure for intention in some of her work.
- kajecounterhack 3y agoI'm leaning in agreement with you. Squid also reproduce a lot faster than octopus (market squid lifespan is 9 months and they die after reproduction) so I recommend folks save their cephalopod recipes for squid.
- soperj 3y agoSome octopuses only live for 6 months.
- Zambyte 3y agoCan people with mental disabilities be eaten ethically? Follow up question since I can guess your answer: what about mentally disabled chimpanzees? What about mentally disabled octopuswhiches[0]? I'm talking to the point where they would not survive outside of human intervention. Or maybe not. Where is the line? [0] as defined as the plural of octopus elsewhere in the comments
- palmer_fox 3y agoThere are many lines. Some lines are drawn by the law, other lines are drawn by the society we live in and/or our individual ethical norms. If we have collectively decided that intelligence is a factor when deciding whether an animal can be eaten by humans, then it's a perfectly logical conclusion for many people that eating octopuses is disgraceful.
- pvaldes 3y ago> If we have collectively decided that intelligence is a factor when deciding whether an animal can be eaten Tip: "We" haven't decided that. Second tip: All this chatter is sterile, I bet that this species isn't edible at all
- ajmurmann 3y agoThese are of course some of the hardest questions we have to answer for ourselves and they don't have clear cut answers. I don't know where exactly the line should be, but IMO octopi are over that line. That's a large part of the reason why I don't east any meat at home. Even worse, I also am very open to arguments for panpsychism which is a almost paralyzing thought.
- hinkley 3y agoLike eating your border collie.
- dunefox 3y agoAbsolutely reprehensible.
- borski 3y agoYes, how dare a culture eat an animal, making delicious cuisine. What villainy. Who would ever think to stoop to cooking and eating something that lives in the ocean?!
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- Timon3 3y agoI take it you wouldn't have an issue with eating other people if they lived in the ocean?
- borski 3y agoIt has nothing to do with the fact that they live in the ocean. We are omnivores, not herbivores. If there were no other animals around to eat, then yes, I’m certain various populations of people would resort to cannibalism and have in the past. They are not “savages,” just different. We’ve eaten meat, of land, sea, and air, for far longer than anyone has tried to convince anyone else they should be vegan. That’s all I’m saying.
- kajecounterhack 3y agoWe've also as a collective re-evaluated our values over time, reducing our overall cruelty and savagery as we realized its extent. There's nothing wrong with that either, and your original comment did not adequately recognize that this is where the sentiment comes from.
- borski 3y agoPlease check yourself here; who is “we”? Clearly the Portuguese and Spanish still love their pulpo, so we as a “collective” of humans have apparently not collectively re-evaluated our values over time, deciding that eating meat is cruel and savage. You have, and that’s completely okay. But to unilaterally call a culture’s cuisine “absolutely reprehensible,” is, in my opinion, the actually reprehensible act. In particular, calling someone’s cuisine (or really almost anything else) “absolutely reprehensible” is a great, surefire way to not convince anyone your point has merit. To be ultra clear: I have no issues with vegetarians, vegans, or anyone else. My issue is with people who have issue with those who have different beliefs or ways of life, labeling those people as “absolutely reprehensible.” That, in essence, is my issue with the original comment.
