I'm not arguing about The Great Objective Truth That Pervades The Universe or whatever. I'm arguing about why HN readers are in favor of one thing but not another.

Yep, I am explicitly speciesist. I value the lives and experiences of humans more than I value those of non-humans animals.
> kidnap someone...'cause they'll be getting women frequantly with no effort
I assert without evidence that for most people, sexually assaulting someone would be a very unpleasant experience. I certainly find the idea utterly repugnant.
In fact, this point I'm going to say its pretty likely you're just playing with utterly repugnant concepts for either the joy of saying repugnant things on the off-chance that it will result in us finding some interesting and useful way of explaining a part of the world. Just to let you know, I don't think most people here want to join you in this exploration. I certainly don't. Seriously.
