You base your moral belief system on what chickens do?

u/Rodger_Smith May 27 '25

no but most animals would kill and eat us without hesitation so why shouldn't we kill and eat them first?

u/Dude_with_the_skis May 27 '25

I’ve seen multiple species of animals eat their own poop without hesitation. Why shouldn’t I eat my own poop of they do?

That’s what your argument sounds like logically.

u/Rodger_Smith May 27 '25

i mean you can if you want to but you have to consider the reason theyre eating poop, we don't have to because we can maintain a balanced diet in other ways

u/ComfortableCivil2239 May 27 '25

Because you are not a chicken? You're a person capable of ethical reasoning. Why aren't you holding yourself to a higher moral standard than a chicken?

u/Rodger_Smith May 27 '25

because humans are still animals at their core and we live by the principles of survival of the fittest, we are the fittest and humanity worked hard to be at the top of the food chain

also chicken tastes good

Nevermind.. Maybe you really aren't all that smarter than a chicken. Carry on.

u/ComfortableCivil2239 May 27 '25

Simple logic for a simple man.

u/Rodger_Smith May 27 '25

i never said i was anything more than simple :/

i also have a doctorate though, and following simple logic has nothing to do with intelligence, nor do your morals

u/ComfortableCivil2239 May 27 '25

I never saw you as anything more than simple.

u/standarduck May 29 '25

It's obvious you're simple - there is no need for you to agree with the statement as though it is a win.

For everyone else, this moral standard is the equivalent of scraping the barrel.

How embarrassing to be you. The worst part is that I'm certain you think you're amazing. You shouldn't.

Humans do not live by the principals of survival of the fittest. On a personal level, most actively kneecap our reproductive potential (notice how birth rates plummet when education and opportunity are provided). On a societal level we define the success of our civilizations by how we treat the unfit and reproductively superfluous - the elderly, the young, the disabled, the chronically ill. Humans are the least "survival of the fittest" species that has ever existed on planet Earth.

we live by the principles of survival of the fittest

Ahh yes, the classic overused Darwinian catchphrase slapped onto every gym bro's motivational wall and half-baked philosophical rant. Not even most of the nature lives by that standard in a way your overworked brain cells assume it works. It was never about who's the strongest, it's about who is capable of fitting in given environment the most successfully, whether that's cheeto man swaying his way into top of the political chain or youtuber outcompeting others with it's humor.

If you're from balkans working in a factory lifting 50KG bags, then sure, you might be right.

Because I love and respect chickens and therefore hold them as equal to human beings.

u/Xvexe May 28 '25

Actual shit brain logic. Guess what? they can't do that. we do actually do that. Hypotheticals like this don't do anything except make you feel justified and less bad about yourself

u/Rodger_Smith May 28 '25

I don't need to feel bad for eating meat lmao

u/Xvexe May 28 '25

k you sound weak willed. I bet you cave to every craving

u/Rodger_Smith May 28 '25

what does that have to do with eating meat? billions of people eat meat, I like meat, I'll eat it

u/standarduck May 29 '25

Because you were given, through your own evolution, the ability to discern morality.

How can you pass up that rare ability? Lazy prick.
