Comment Why doesn't anyone think this is sick? (Score 1) 534
I haven't read anyone writing in this thread one word about how sick this actually is.
HELLO!
Let's summarize here, so humans are born into this universe and found other species in their proximity...and SOMEHOW between being born and now found ethical justifications to train another species with no vote of it's own to KILL other beings for the very purposes of the human beings themselves??!!!!
If i had a huge alarm right now with a _BIG RED FLASHING LIGHT_...i would certainly turn it on _RIGHT NOW_ !!!
I know in WWII dogs were trained to carry explosives and sneak under tanks to detonate themselves under the tanks, to my opinion that's pretty much the same kind of thing as the above, so i know this isn't new, but that's _NOT_ the point, i just cannot fathom what this must say about human kind or at the very least about the people who justify this or cooporate with this.
Suppose every race/species in the universe had a story and that story would start with being born into this universe, then humans would have at some point _NOT ONLY_ have a chapter of the fase they killed eachother(or other races), they'd _NOT ONLY_ have a chapter where they killed other species, they'd also have a chapter where they trained other species to kill "for them".
This seems to me so much like a host race training a slave species to kill for them, while the slave species has no voice in this neither might it not know what it's doing, which the host species uses/exploits to it's very own advantage.
If we not radically self-reflect here, be it on thinking, ideology, conduct, ethics etc etc, then there is no telling what chapter will be next.
We're here in this(universe) with other species...to me this feels like breaking some highly critical cosmic law.
Something you just _DO NOT DO_ !
(Maybe one could compare it to advancing to another higher level of misconduct....as if the levels of the status quo weren't already bad enough.)
While humans could have taken responsibility...it looks like it's going exactly the other way.
I think we could praise ourselves extremely blissfully lucky if things turn out well with us after all, i'm not saying it would not turn out positively, but that point seems just so far away when reading something like this.
