    That is missing what I am saying entirely. Argue with the logic, please, instead of a false interpenetration. The exact categories are not relevant to what I am saying at all. What matters is that the reasoning could be used to justify difference between categorization of humans that you think shouldn’t be morally relvent

    Those are examples of the conclusion the flawed logic (difference = inherently justifying different treatment) could be used to justify. So I am saying we should reject the premise because of what the same logic can justify

      people should be treated differently than animals. doing so is necessary for right action. how we treat animals should have no bearing on how we treat each other.

        This is all circling around and missing the point I am making. The problem I am point out is about the logical reasoning. If logical reasoning is flawed when applied to something else, then it should not be used

        This conversation is going in circle, so just going to end this here

          it’s illogical to try to fly a plane like you are driving a car. different things are different and it is correct to treat them so.
