I am sure you are right that I ought to read Salt's essay.
_________________________________________________________

Logic of the Larder

by Henry S. Salt

Excerpted from The Humanities of Diet. Manchester: The Vegetarian Society, 1914

It is often said, as an excuse for the slaughter of animals, that it is better for them to live and
to be butchered than not to live at all. Now, obviously, if such reasoning justifies the practice of
flesh-eating, it must equally justify all breeding of animals for profit or pastime, when their life
is a fairly happy one.
[...]
Let us heartily accept all that may be said of "the joyfulness of life." But what is the moral to
be drawn from that fact? Surely not that we are justified in outraging and destroying life, to
pamper our selfish appetites, because forsooth we shall then produce more of it! But rather that we
should respect the beauty and sanctity of life in others as in ourselves, and strive as far as
possible to secure its fullest natural development. This logic of the larder is the very negation of
a true reverence for life; for it implies that the real lover of animals is he whose larder is
fullest of them:

He prayeth best, who eateth best
All things both great and small.

It is the philosophy of the wolf, the shark, the cannibal. If there be any truth in such an
argument, let those who believe it have the courage of their convictions, and face the inevitable
conclusion.
[...]
[2] "If the motive that might produce the greatest number of the happiest
cattle would be the eating of beef, then beef-eating, so far, must be
commended. And while, heretofore, the motive has not been for the sake
of cattle, it is conceivable that, if Vegetarian convictions should spread
much further, love for cattle would (if it be not psychologically incompatible)
blend with the love of beef in the minds of the opponents of Vegetarianism.
With deeper insight, new and higher motives may replace or supplement
old ones, and perpetuate but ennoble ancient practices." - Dr. Stanton Coit.

The Hindus will be disappointed. They might want you to explain

go trying to change the beliefs they've held for thousands of years.
How did you find out, btw?

A person can feel that it's better for a being to experience its
life than for it not to, regardless of whether or not there's any
positive value to the Goober's supposed "state" of pre-existence.
I feel that way about a number of beings, in fact. You have acted
as if you do too, maybe, sometimes, you think, maybe, some things,
maybe, sometimes, maybe...

Quote:

incoherent nonsense to talk of a "pre-existent state" or a "pre-
existent entity". An entity can't exist before it exists.

That's another subject altogether. Just because Goo insists that
pre-existent entities somehow prevent existing ones from benefitting
from their own existence doesn't mean you have to believe him. One
huge reason to suspect the Goober might be wrong in that, is his
complete inability to explain exactly how he thinks they manage to
do it. On the rare occasions when Goo makes some attemple to
explain what he thinks he's trying to talk about, it ALWAYS gets
down to pre-existent entities:

"Before being alive, an animal has no well-being to promote.
THEREFORE, Fuckwit, existence is not benefit to farm animals."
- Goo

"When the entity moves from "pre-existence" into the
existence we know, we don't know if that move improves
its welfare, degrades it, or leaves it unchanged." - Goo

"coming into existence didn't make me better off than
I was" - Goo

"Coming into existence is not a benefit to them: it does
not make them better off than before" - Goo

"EVEN WITH the very best animal welfare conditions one
might provide: they STILL might not be as good as the
"pre-existence" state was" - Goo

Quote:
We should
instead speak of a state which our soul is in before our body comes
into existence, or a soul existing prior to the existence of the body
to which it eventually becomes attached.

That's a different subject and you've already proclaimed that
"it most definitely is incoherent nonsense."

Quote:
If David Harrison is allowed to make conjectures that there are souls
floating about in the ether which become attached to bodies

I don't. I consider the possibility of multiple lives but don't have
a true belief either way about it, and for some reason(s) people
feel it's important to lie about that claiming I have chosen to believe
in the way they actually think it's less likely that I do believe. You for
example almost certainly feel it's less likely that I do believe what you
just got through accusing me of, so in order to attempt to insult me
you accuse me of holding beliefs you know I will resent being accused
of holding because I don't hold them. It's very dishonest of you, and
far more dishonest than I had expected out of you, but even when I've
learned to expect very little from someone I still often tend to overestimate
them as in this example with you.

As for what I actually do believe (we'll see...maybe this will help
you come up with even more insulting lies about me ;¬) : I believe
that many beings do have lives of positive which it's better for them
to experience than not to, REGARDLESS of whether or not there
is a pre-existent state.

Good point. The Goober claimed to have met the challenge--which
was a lie even though he made a pathetically feeble attempt--and then
he very blatantly and extremely stupidly denied the challenge he lied
about having met. Another classic self-outstupidification by our favorite
Goober: Goobernicus Gonad. When Goo outstupids himself to this
degree it always makes a person wonder how clueless he really is,
bringing to mind questions like:

1. How does Goo think he disagrees with himself this time?

2. How does Goo think he agrees with himself that pre-existent
entities--the consideration of which is essential to his supposed
explanation of the particular challenge he's dishonestly trying to
deny this time--somehow prevent existing ones from benefitting
from their existence? How does he think they do it?

No, you misunderstand me. What I'm proclaiming to be incoherent
nonsense is the idea of a being existing before it exists.

What I'm talking about above is not incoherent nonsense, it's just
completely lacking in rational foundation.

It's not dishonesty. I apologise if I have inadvertantly
misinterpreted you; it's just that that's the only coherent way to
make sense of it being a "benefit" to an animal that its body is
brought into existence. So I attribute that position to you by the
principle of charity.

As discussed many times, you can't say it's better for the being
because you're not comparing two outcomes in which the being exists,
you're comparing one in which the being exists and one in which the
being doesn't.

No, that was Goo Fuckwit David Harrison's demand.  Goo Fuckwit David
Harrison made no challenge - he cannot possibly present a challenge.

This doesn't address my point.

You have a strange penchant for saying things which any dribbling
moron can see to be false.

My point was that you were talking as though it makes some sense to
talk of a "pre-existent state" or a "pre-existent entity". It's
understandable that you would have forgotten this. You snipped it and
ignored it completely, as usual obviously have no interest in
listening to the actual point of what I was saying.

You can entertain the hypothesis that we are souls and that we existed
before we became attached to our current bodies. That is at least
coherent, although there is not the slightest reason for any rational
person to give any credence to it. But it is not appropriate to speak
of the state the souls were in before they became attached to their
current bodies as a "pre-existent state", or to speak of a soul before
it has become attached to any body as a "pre-existent entity". That is
a travesty of language. An entity cannot exist before it comes into
existence.

Let us assume that what you were actually doing was interpreting David
Harrison as saying that animals have souls which existed before they
became attached to the animals' bodies, and trying to refute David
Harrison's argument by saying "We can conjecture that an animal's soul
may actually have been better off before it became attached to its
current body." That's silly. That's just replying to one totally
unfounded conjecture with another totally unfounded conjecture. The
appropriate response is to say that the hypothesis that animals' souls
existed before they became attached to their current bodies is not
worth taking seriously.

No, I wasn't. I have always ridiculed that. When I talk about
"pre-existent entity", it's always in quotes, to show that I'm talking
about Goo Fuckwit David Harrison's ridiculous reliance on the idea. His
bullshit depends on it, crucially. I disparage his bullshit, but to do
so I have to talk about his usage of "pre-existent entities".
