Substitute "animal" by "negro" in your sentence and much enlightenment will come to you (hopefully, otherwise go for easier mental goals).

While it is not logical to empathize with other beings (why should I suffer because of others?) it is "human" to do so. You can check the definition of psycopathy, for example.

I know a percentage of the population in my country can be classified according to that. Furthermore, ALL countries behave like that (macropsychology). Have you ever seen a human behaving outside of instinct? I very much doubt you can give me any example of that. I bet on it.

Now, seriously, it's a matter of sensitivity for other being's suffering. Yours doesn't reach the level where you imagine the suffering of cows/chicken. It's not something debatable, it's something you either are able to feel or not. I'm sorry for people like you.

Time flows not, time is. Imagine a circle, and running along a circle while a parameter theta is changed. The circle is described by (or simply "is") x=R*cos(theta), y=R*sin(theta). Well, that circle is the universe, and theta is time. But the universe does not flow along time, nor time does flow (in order to flow, a verb, the thing flowing needs an external time, so time would be runnning through time(???))

So, if the simple resolution is: the universe is, time is illusion, then the new question is: why do human states of consciusness flow?

No.

At our scale things are exactly the same, that is, fully deterministic. However, the amount of information needed to revert the evolution of one particle is small, while to revert the evolution of the egg you need N^n, with N the amount of "degrees of freedom" (technically, the dimension of its Hilbert space) of one of the egg's particles, and n around Avogadro's number (total number of particles in one egg). To be simplistic, let's say that one particle has 10 "degrees of freedom", and Avogadro's number is around 6E23~10^24, so this makes a total of 10^10^24 functions of time that you MUST fully record in order to be able to revert the egg's "trajectory".

I can also imagine guys tweeting as if they were on holidays, but being home-entrenched and armed to the teeth, just for the fun of shooting at thieves.

nice idea. Have you heard of the no-cloning theorem in quantum mechanics? let's hope cognitive functions are purely nonquantum...

Exactly. I find it very funny, this kind of typical pseudo-scientific attitude that "one photon is one photon, baby, quantum mechanics, baby...". Well, my main research line is foundations of quantum mechanics, and I tell you that were I to live near a repeater mobile tower, and I'd shot it.

What about any electromagnetic processes in the body (or mind!!) we cannot yet understand? Throwing chemicals to our water sources? well, I haven't yet found that molecule X affects any reaction in the body. Shit, for the time we find it, our children might have deformities. There is always a balance between stupidly accelerating to the future and crash into destruction, or try to see the implications of our advances. Dangerous balance.

anything using less than 100% cpu in linux is better than Flash. Therefore there can in principle be nothing worse than Flash. Unbeatable, indeed a hard goal to achieve.

It's sad that we are so used to action and sci-fi films with amazing simulations of astonishing things, that when it comes to the real one (a piece of rock which really exists up there, and IS cool) we think we are seeing the intro for a 1985 asteroid game, and think for ourselves 'where are the explosions? I myself had to do an effort to rationally avoid that thinking and covince myself of the real coolness of the thing.
