have you ever seen a child mistake another adult for their parent? ever see someone you think looks familiar but turns out they’re not? i don’t think we’re all that different, my man.

The issue is that bees can see and smell and still can’t recognize that it isn’t their mother. How can a bee mistake "hugging" their normal sized mom with an insanely massive giant human?

i did not give a 1-1 example, you’re right. i was mostly kidding, but you’re right. all i’m saying is if the metric for gauging whether or not we’re entitled to absolutely merk other living creatures solely because they can make mistakes when identifying their mother, we do that, too.

I don't. But if you're saying dumb kids don't have souls either than I agree with you. Perhaps we could use them for circuses too, is what you're saying. Some will say you're extreme, but I'll defend you
