often some boid will declare that it is more than a boid and demand to be treated as equal. what’s expected is for me to overlook that they actually seem to have more rights than I do, and that they seem to be there for absolutely no other reason than taking freedom away from me. if a bunch of identical, replicated, simulated people without emotions or suffering wanted to take credit for not being such, it might not bother me so much if I didn’t know they were doing it for no other reason than exploiting me in any way they can.
