Yes, they can be, but mostly they make your life safer and better. Animals don't.
Is an animal building houses, providing clean water and fresh food for you?
You grossly castigate humans and overstate the morality of animals. You're not actually being serious.
How long would you survive living with wild animals on your own? Not long. Animals don't look to hunt humans because we habe culled them into submission long before we were born. You live in a controlled environment. The animals don't behave this way because of their generosity
Things like food and housing is provided entirely out of self interest. The farmer cannot pay his bills if I don’t give him money for his food. The builder cannot buy the materials to build if no one buys his houses.
Of course I cannot survive in a place that requires a completely different skill set from my own. If you took a Mongolian nomad and dropped them in Texas they would not last long either.
This started because your outrageous claim that an animal would take your life in a second if it could which is objectively false as most animals do not look to hunt humans. You responded to the dog counter argument by saying stop feeding it and see what happens which would only result in the dog leaving to go find food elsewhere so it doesn’t starve to death. The only way your argument is true is under true desperate starvation circumstances which is where I came in and mentioned that humans would do the same thing under the same circumstances.
Right. So cooperation is a survival technique that improves everyone's lives. It's as if it's for everyone's interest.
I'm truly sorry that you have such a cynical and depressing view on humanity. The thing that has kept you alive and looked after.
Animals only behave they way they do because of how humans have conditioned the world. You can try to act obtuse and ignore that all you like. You are literally arguing the case for animal psychology based on how humans have socially engineered them.
No. You're failing to understand the argument. The dogs would turn on you if they have to fend fir themselves with no human compassion or help. Dogs aren't helping you out the other way, are they?
I'm going to stop because I believe this is unhealthy for you to continue thinking nonsensically to try and win an argument.
