Hey, I already said that I actually do have some empathy and altruism for chickens. "Warm and fuzzy" isn't an insult: it's just another part of how our minds work that we don't currently understand (like consciousness). My primary point is that we should hold off on assigning huge value to things prior to actually understanding what they are and how they work.
Eli, fair point.
David, is this thing with the names a game?
Eli, sorry, could you elaborate? Thanks!
I'm pretty sure eli_sennesh is wondering if there's any special meaning to your responses to him all starting with his name, considering that that's not standard practice on LW (since the software keeps track of which comment a comment is a reply to).
