>purpose
are you stupid?

>>9171894

Huummmm can you prove there isn't one? If you see an agent A doing an action B, you assume at face-value it wants to do it until proven contrary.

>>9171895
But only rational beings can have wants.

life exists for only one reason and that is to live. Hurting others only becomes immoral when when that is done knowingly.
a mosquito and the malaria that they transmit are not evil. The people who drain wetlands, destroying entire ecological systems for their own convenience, they are a little more complex.
The path to hell is paved with benign intentions.
the devil does exist, and they work on wall street

they do what keeps them and their dna alive if they wouldnt do what they do they would stop existing

Congrats, OP. Do you have any more pearls of wisdom to bestow on /sci/ about food webs that can't be found in the first 10 pages of a biology textbook?

The logical conclusion of your moral imperative over pragmatism has you aspiring to be cyanobacteria. A complete 180 degree regression of our evolutionary trajectory.

Get over it, OP. Early hominids hunting and eating game was what caused our species divergence from the other 7 berry and vegetable picking homo species.

Humans are actively trying to get rid of our dependence on animal exploitation ... couldn't say the same about Ebola

Take you meds, the whole bottle if you can.

You're a homo species

>life" forms whose only purpose is to cause suffering and kill other forms of life so they can replicate and cause even more suffering and death
sounds like you're talking about humans

>>9171902
elaborate? Are these irrational beings? Is it just like watching rocks rolling down a hill, and assuming they "want" to be there?

this is rude and has no relevance to anything I said. If you have a problem take a swing at it. If you tell people you disagree with to kill themselves instead of telling them why, you need to go back to /b/.

They have no cerebral cortex and therefore we have no reason to think they have a logos and therefore we have no reason to believe they can be sadistic
