We have such a human-centric and focused interpretation of knowing, and what qualifies as intelligence.
This has been my response to all of the bullshit alien claims recently. It’s always some kind of very human-centric idea of a bipedal being using a second thing as a vehicle. Just that entire concept is so human-centric.
If extraterrestrial ilfe exists, it’s not going to resemble humans. Unless it’s literally our cosmic ancestors or some shit.
Their point is that if plants can suffer, and assuming we still want to eat, less plants die or are maimed on a vegan diet than on an omnivorous diet because livestock eats plants too and the conversion to meat is inefficient.
That means vegan diet is the way for less plant suffering even though you eat them directly. In fact it is because you would eat them directly.

Vegan diets require less plants to be killed then an omnivorous diet, so if you’re right then that’s a stronger argument to be vegan.

Then vegans are worse, they make plants suffer more,since they’re not as adapted as herbivores for plant consumption.
They don’t really suffer though because of their lack of agency. Once you’ve done everything you can to alleviate a pain, it goes away.
