If a superior alien species landed on earth, would it be moral for them to eat humans? That’s the fundamental question all meat eaters must answer. And “lol bacon” doesn’t get. P.S. I’m not vegan so Boomer memes about baby won’t trigger me.
'Excession' by Iain M. Banks (which I think is @elonmusk 's favorite book) is all about a morally superior Culture trying to reign in a sadistic alien species called 'the Affront' that eats & tortures lesser species just for fun. (And who would say 'lol bacon'.) Worth a read.
