Yeah.

So, like, traditionally, the argument would have gone, "Well, animals aren't sentient.

Humans are this special thing because of intelligence, because of language, because of, um, cultural memory or individual memory.

For whatever reason, we feel pain, n- and they do not, and therefore they do not matter." Um, I don't think this is really taken seriously from any of the scholarship on the issue or even just, like, the regular human intuitions.

I think this is an argument that was cope to deal with, uh, the atrocities that we were committing.

Um, it seems to me that pain is, uh, an evolutionary adaptation that we have developed to survive, and that it wouldn't have made sense to only appear at the time when the human brain developed.

So you look at animals, animals experience pain.

Are you worried about that?
