if a being that is artificially created, has intelligence, and is functionally self-aware and sentient, does it have natural rights?

Obviously yes. Otherwise you gotta start denying rights to in vitro fertilization babies.

Not if climate change drives humans extinct before they can make those improvements

I didn't get panel 4 at first because I assumed she writes at a restaurant. It's not as cliche as a cafe, but sometimes the lines are blurred.

Dal: "I try to stay out of sickbay, because that shit's boring 💀"

This is false, Phlox spoils Porthos. The only reason Porthos is sad to be in the care of Phlox is that it means daddy's gone

It's the kind of moral stench that comes from being a rich slaveowning cop

That's because you're afraid to have an intellectually honest discussion with someone who disagrees with you. It's easier to pretend people who disagree with you don't exist.

The fact that the self is an illusion is not a new idea. Surely you've heard of it. But you'd rather pretend that I don't believe in it than to have an actual conversation considering its implications.

Western neurotypicals are so very concerned with ego. It's unhealthy.

My existence is subjective. Therefore any reality whose existence is assumed on my basis is also subjective.

BRB gonna say this to an anorexic person and fucking kill them

There's no kind of water that tastes better cold unless you're exhausted, and then all water does. But if you're at a comfortable level of temperature, hydration, and exertion, all water tastes better at room temperature.

Objective reality doesn't exist, and that's a good thing, because it means our entire universe is subjective, and therefore, malleable to our perceptions. It means that with a big enough idea and a mind on which to balance it, we can move the earth.

all of the language, terms and concepts which form the simulation argument are based on the sensory experience that the argument would effectively dismiss

Nah, this is bullshit. What sensory experience is love? What sensory experience is honour? And more to the point, what sensory experience is money? Is law? Is a home? Is a mother? If Moore were correct to say that we do not live in a constructed material reality, we would still live in a constructed social reality. And if social reality can be constructed without the aid of the senses, then it must also be true that material reality can be constructed without the senses.

Moore is clearly a simpleton.
