What a weird and arbitrary (and absurdly anthropocentric) standard for who is regarded as valuable.

- Retra 11y agoYou could say the same about any morality, though I don't see why you think it's arbitrary or anthropocentric. For one, I am talking about the properties of information, which isn't arbitrary. And you could certainly build a machine, find another animal, or locate an ecosystem that has more value than humans. Especially when you've got a world of absurd religious philosophies to compare it to.
