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?

    Yeah, but they probably don’t know they could be suffering from some disease if they never had it.

    Yes, but point is they’re living happy, blissfully content lives, not suffering from disease or predators.

      No, the (at least my) point is what they do and do not know. On everything else, we agree.
