A metaphysical argument human beings aren’t ontologically distinct from other animals proves the contrary
@HPluckrose @iwpoe @DoneReasoning
And they are distinct from each other. And how we focus on the distinction & disdain the traits we share
I mean... who is disdainful of motility, sensation, homeostasis, memory, internal heating..Odd claim
It would be if I were making it. However, I have explained what many times so I'll ask u to scroll back
So you mean we disdain *certain* traits?
Which we conceptualise in the form of the bestial. Yes.
Even *if* so, is there something *wrong* with that? It might make sense to despise that we get ill.
That's something we can discuss. Good & bad things result. Blank slatism? Denial of gender differences?
Well, I mean, Locke's tabula rasa follows from something he thinks about us not our immateriality.
I was thinking more of a denial of human nature generally. We can be constructed. No innate drives.
