This is the point I am making. Human exceptionalism is built into our language and it is wrongheaded. Anyone who has known a cat will be aware that they are full of personality, very much unlike a box or a Bluetooth speaker.
- cnity 3y agoI don't think "that" means "cats are just like Bluetooth speakers". The same way that "who" doesn't imply all humans are the same.
- corethree 3y agoI think this topic is not important. We slaughter self aware animals and eat their flesh. That's the biggest sin we commit and I don't even care. Why should I care about this grammatical politeness? Also the cat doesn't even care, it's not cats getting offended it's just people.
