    No one is forcing you to feel that humans are or are not precious and this argument is very troubling…

    If you cannot see why, please seek help.

      Dude gave arguments for the PoV he presented and all you give back is sentimental approach coupled with accusation xD

      Truth is, humanity always perceived value of other humans by the filter of what can they do. Capitalism, communism, no matter - it still holds it.

      Even in small communities a lazy, drunk neigbour is gonna be seen as barely worth anything coupled to industrious, hard working neighbour. We just are like this. All humans are innately egoistic to some degree and they perceive value of others through what they can gain from them.

      Few folk are empathetic enough to perceive every single person as precious, yet even they crumble in certain scenarios, mostly connected to estimating worth of people who inconvienience them and their family.
