Is a human's life more valuable than an ant's life?

[Dendoni]

If a amethysts purpose is to be pretty and my purpose is to be moral (as a random example). Is equality determined by being as beautiful as the amethyst or as moral in the same proportion as the amethyst is beautiful?

Are you talking about subjective value or objective value?

Value can ever be only subjective, in the grand scale of things (universal), nothing really is valueable

So since you are human, and humans are social animals, and modt of human interactions are determined by beauty and power

That is why we value other humans (species), beautiful things over ugly things (blackpill), stronger things from weaker ones (bear is more valueable than an ant)

If you are talking about objective value, it is wrong, since only objective value would be if god existed or exists and his existence is only thing of true value since nothing will exist wothout him

But since value is subjective (your cat might have more value to you than 500 prisoners and you would rather let them die than the cat), that means you must look at it from our biological standppint, which is societal - therefore our species are the most important

If you believe in equality you have to believe in consistency otherwise you have demonstrated a performative contradiction. To elaborate on this point, if you treat men equally to yourself but treat women lower to yourself this is seen as unequal, although equality is being practiced in this scenario the inconsistency of the equality shows that you are being unequal rather than equal. Therefore, if you believe in real equality you believe all life has equal value. This means your life has equal value to that of an ant or a worm. However, humans do not acknowledge this to be true yet will still demand equality, and thus are hypocrites. This can be shown by the fact that if you kill an ant nobody cares, but if you kill a human everyone will see you as a monster and you will be thrown into prison. Another example can be seen when a person eats a cow they're called being a meat eater and is seen as normal but when a person eats another person it's called cannibalism and is seen as evil and will get them thrown in prison. Whenever I question people on this dilemma they show the cruelty of mankind through the ignorance of their answers. To justify why it's just to treat an ant differently to themselves they proclaim bullshit answers like: "a human is more intelligent than an ant", "humans know right from wrong", "humans feel pain", "A human will achieve more than an ant". All these justifications are things an ant cannot control yet will be judged by. Essentially all the justifications given by humans boil down to humans are superior based upon gifts given to them by birth: a large brain, the ability to feel emotions, the ability to communicate, etc. Now, the question I want to ask is that if it is okay to judge an ant based upon it's birth why is it not okay to judge humans based upon their birth? One human may be more intelligent than another human or have a greater ability to feel pain or know right or wrong better or will achieve more in life. So why can't we do it humans if we judge animals by their birth?

TL;DR: Equality is a myth.

A human life is worth more than any other life less intelligent stop coping

A human life is worth more than any other life less intelligent stop coping

why is it?

 

[azuzu]

why is it?

Because ants don’t have the capacity to understand on a deep level

 

[looksmaxxed]

yes humans are superior

this is correct, for the same reason we can eat animals, and kill subhumans with the same emotional reaction as blasting a million bacteria to death with some alcohol. genetic superiority/complexity is the only objective rule for assigning value to life.

Because ants don’t have the capacity to understand on a deep level

So by this logic its okay to kill mentally retarded people and people in comas.

 

[azuzu]

So by this logic its okay to kill mentally retarded people and people in comas.

No they are still humans

So by this logic its okay to kill mentally retarded people and people in comas.

same species as us. Just kill anything that can’t multiply or divide theory
