Newtonian ethics. The larger a thing is the more moral weight we give it.
Consider. If I killed an ant you wouldn't care right? However if I killed an elephant you would be upset no? Hoever both cases are clearly murder. Just because an elephant has more weight it has more moral weight. Consider a less extreme case. A rat vs a horse. Rats are probably smarter than horses so have a greater subjective personhood but you would kill a rat and you probably wouldn't kill a horse right?
It is a vauge understating in our dna from back when we were fish
This is some really smart shit
You should go on Rogan
You say that, am I wrong? Don't tall people in society get more respect than short people? Small dogs and large dogs? I am being cute but there is a fundamental instinctively lack of respect we give to specific categories of thing unless we train ourselves to be better.
