Should Foreigners or Tamagotchis Exist?
By
Have you ever thought that Tamagotchis deserved more rights than a photograph of a child?
In this video, we explore:
- How some existing non-human entities are missing out on rights
- How non-human entities relate to foreigners
- How society could benefit from more deliberate thought being applied to deciding who should actually exist
Foreigners are compared to non-humans as a way of relating to the similarities in their existence.
We explore some case studies about workplace safety; the popularity of pets; and the legalities of which animals you can kill.
The solutions discussed in this video relate closely to what’s discussed in Let Robot Overlords Inspect Your Butt.
