If it’s acceptable for humans to exploit other animals for food, clothing, labor, entertainment or experiments because we’re more intelligent than them, would it be equally acceptable for a superintelligent alien race with 10x the mental capacity as humans to do the same to us?
Are we? Humans are the only species that is destroying the entire world in 200 years - not only for themselves, but also for the other millions of species.
Humans are the dumbest animals.
Most animals aren’t intelligent enough to destroy the world even if they wanted to. Intelligence doesn’t mean good or moral. It’s the capacity to process information.
