People often use 'sentient' to mean 'sapient', and it may be that Eliezer intends the latter. It's at least pretty plausible that animals and very young infants are not sapient, namely not capable of judgement, and that this capacity is what would endow one with a certain autonomy.
"Soul", gotcha. Binary personhood marker. Reified concept not sufficiently unpacked. Okie.
That's a rather uncharitable misinterpretation of what hen wrote, caused by anger and frustration, I'm guessing.
No, just the expressed befuddlement.
I respectfully disagree, sapience is an acquired subjective quality, therefore it is trivial to disregard. Now sentience is orders of magnitude more complex. I was going to say “inherent” to the species, but is it? Now this is supposed to be “the easy problem” go figure that.
