So you acknowledge the former but can't get past the latter. Got it. I wonder how the judges will score.

- notlenin 6mo agosorry for the stupid question, but what is "the former" and what is "the latter"? Did you mean I acknowledge the sentience of plants but not animals? I believe that all life might be conscious, but life that is "very different" from me I have a hard time imagining what that consciousness might be like. For animals, especially mammals, I can easily imagine what they must be feeling and empathize with them. I can understand that a cow feels pain when hurt, because the cow is very similar to me. A plant might also feel pain when hurt (even the grass I step on might not appreciate me walking on it), but I'd have a harder time empathizing with that.
- nickburns 6mo agoIt's never stupid to clarify what someone means if they communicate in a way that's unclear to you. 'Former' and 'latter' were in reference to the two questions I posed to you.
