    Well put. We are so jealous of our own sentience that we eat most of the other sentients. The idea that we’d show the respect of intellectual-property protections to another species is laughable; our jealousy is biblical.

      You understand this makes you sound insane right?

      Humans don’t eat sentient species out of jealousy.

        Jealousy in the biblical sense means being fiercely protective of one’s domain and prerogatives, and exclusionary to the point of not tolerating any other options. It’s not jealousy in the human-to-human sense.
