Fungal sentences are slightly more complex than English, slightly less complex than Russian.
As we all know, the true mark of intelligence is being an articulate primate with a keyboard who spends their weekend deciding which other creatures are worthy of being called intelligent :kubrick-stare:
It’s not really about “worthiness”. I’m skeptical of the idea because assholes weaponize this idea to justify eating clearly sentient, intelligent animals. Plants and fungi aren’t the same, they don’t have an equivalent to a central nervous system, and all these cynics are out here talking about well maybe they are sentient too based on these lukewarm studies, so I guess it doesn’t matter what we eat. No motherfucker, go vegan.
I believe that all these things are sentient and also factory farming is bad. How are those beliefs incompatible?
I never said they were. I never even brought up factory farming, I think all meat eating is wrong. All I was talking about was how people will justify eating meat because they say plants/fungi are sentient too, and I hate that asinine bullshit.
