Do fish have feelings?

1 Answer

Answer :

Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling on the bridge of the Hao River when Zhuangzi said, “See how the fish come out and dart around easily! That’s the pleasure fish really enjoy!” Huizi said, “You’re not a fish — how do you know what fish enjoy?” Zhuangzi argued, “You’re not me, so how do you know I don’t know what fish enjoy?” Huizi said, “I’m not you, so I for sure don’t know what you know. On the other hand, you’re certainly not a fish — so that still proves you don’t know what fish enjoy!” Zhuangzi said, “Let’s go back to your original question, please. You asked me how I know what fish enjoy — so you already knew I knew it when you asked the question. I know it by standing here on the bridge of Hao River.”

Description : If sometime in the future we discovered or created a new species that is comparable in sapience to humans (for example a moogle), would humanity slide back into slavery or would we be able to avoid such a development and bestow this species full human rights?

Last Answer : Well, if it were a moogle, they’d probably enslave us all, and we’d lose our human rights with our humanity. But if it were a floogle, then we would remain pure of heart and pristine of soul, and bestow upon them all the perquisites and rights pertaining thereto!
