      9/ So, my question to you, @NHpilled , is: please use science and/or logic to show me that my ethical claim that loyalty-and-team-work is the correct metric to divide edible-outgroup from inedible-ingroup is false.

      My Twitter mutuals are equal parts "I studied philosophy for 20 years and now I have a degree that lets me earn $7.25 an hour" and "giants are real, but the secret Council of Ravens doesn't want you to know". Honestly, the giants/ravens kids are making better life choices.

      11/ ...but I've poked at these kind of questions enough (i.e. more than 5 minutes) to understand that logic and science can't define an ethical basis for ANYTHING bc ethical bases are axiomatic and not subject to being proven or disproven

      13/ You've got it inverted. It's not the presence of a trait that ALLOWS us to eat animals; is the presence of a trait that DISALLOWS us to eat [ certain ] animals. That trait is a mix of intelligence, loyalty, and membership in the human community.https://twitter.com/NHpilled/status/1497975817908854786 …

      Name the trait in farmed animals that if present in dogs would allow us to treat dogs the way we treat farmed animals.

      14/ I see that trait present in dogs, great apes, dolphins (many stories of dolphins helping people) and - perhaps - whales.

      15/ Aside from those few examples, I'm ok with people [ humanely ] killing and eating just about any creature.

      16/ I'm speaking of species as a whole having this membership or non membership. A particular dog can be disloyal, and I still won't eat it.https://twitter.com/NHpilled/status/1497979643533697031 …

      There are plenty of humans that do not correspond with this metric either but that does not provide justification to kill and eat those humans.

      17/ so, I've answered your question [ even if you don't love my answer ]. Now it's time for you to answer my question: show me, using logic and science, why it's immoral to eat mutton and beef.

      19/ permissible to kill? absolutely permissible to eat? less clear - have to consult a priesthttps://twitter.com/ded_ruckus/status/1498021365630136322 …

      my question is posit a species that was human-intelligent, but innately averse and hostile to humans, actively attacked them given the opportunity, and was generally always-chaotic-evil permissible to eat, or not

          I think that was covered at the Council of Jerusalem: no animal is unclean, and non-human would mean not ensouled.

          Neanderthals fit this bill. Interesting idea for issues to explore in an historical novel.
