“Sentience has broader and narrower senses. In a broad sense, it refers to any capacity for conscious experience. […] In a narrower sense, it refers to the capacity to have valenced experiences: experiences that feel bad or feel good to the subject, such as experiences of pain and pleasure”.

Few things :

That’s a daring non-answer. I’m genuinely curious to know what stance you think Trump will take against Netenyahu’s continued genocide.

Also, about what “my” side has done and what lines “I were perfectly comfortable using”, or how I’ve been “condescending”, we’re strangers on the internet and that previous comment was my first one made to you. You don’t have enough information about my point of view to assume as much as you did. Or maybe you simply mistaken me for another commenter.

Either way no need to engage in profanity, it gives your whole vibe an unnecessary violent undertone. I’m sincerely just curious to know more about where you come from ideologically and I think it can be done respectfully and with civility.
