For the record:

Parent puts A and B on the same point of his value™ scale (his scale, his choice)[0].

But you put A on top of your scale and B a little lower (your scale, your choice).

But now you are saying that since parent equals A and B it means parent equals his A to your lower B ? That's where your argument is weak. It's your scale, not parent's.

[0] I assume it's near the top but the demonstration works the same if it's on the bottom.



The actual value. Not the relative comparison.

He thinks he is raising chickens to the level of humans, but his actions would actually lower humans to the level of chickens.


How do you know I am "he"? But anyway, I neither raised chickens to the level of humans nor thought I was doing so.

And my "actions"? What actions? I literally don't know what you are saying. I didn't take any actions or describe any.

The pure quantity of lives built here is negative. I wasn't making a judgment about the quality or significance of the lives. If there has to be a conflict (I don't think that's inevitable), I support the human lives over chicken ones. I'm just not so dense that I completely disregard the notion of chicken lives (as the headline does, not that the business is doing that).
