Yes.


So according to your values we should invest in an equal amount of medical research to dog health as human heath.


That follows from nothing said, nor was any mention of values made.


The original question was:

> Is it so outrageous to say that a dog's life has less value than a human's?

The commenter I replied to said "yes"

So the commenter is saying that yes, it is outrageous to say that a dog's life has less value than a human's.

So that implies that it is outrageous to say that because a dog's life does not have less value than a human life. It has equal or greater value. I'm going to assume that the commenter means equal value.

So if a dog's life is equal in value to a humans, it follows we should dedicate as many resources to dog health as human health.

Is any of the above flawed?

> nor was any mention of values made.

We're talking about the relative value of human life vs dog here. The term 'value' has literally been mentioned. Values by definition are what we believe to be valuable. By answering "yes" to the question, the commenter has revealed some of their values as it relates to dog vs. human life.

People are very susceptible to ideas. That's the premise of political propaganda and the entire advertising industry. It's not clear what the solution is but most people are consumers of ideas, not producers.


You are incredibly ignorant about how the world works.


Elon simps are slow they don't really understand conditional logic.


US universities don't really have research focused masters so they are shitty cash cow degrees. I think a research master's from a good European university can teach you a lot and make you a better programmer. It's kind of like doing a few years of a PhD and dropping out in the states.


heh in some fields that's exactly how you get a masters in the US


Not even close to true. I've received about 20 recruiter messages this week and most of my colleagues have had the same experience


The blue checks were given to public figures and serve a very valuable purpose. I'm not sure why people are so mad at the "blue checks".
