Philosophy is based on logic, not straight emotions
Yeah, sorry, but that’s straight untrue.
As I wrote before, every time you’re doing a value judgement, you’re arguing based on emotions.
Saying shredding two animals causes more suffering than shredding no animals is a rational, provable statement. But whether suffering is bad or not, is a value judgement and thus not rational.
If you say, “I don’t like suffering” to someone with a “no pain, no gain” shirt, your argument is weaker.
And both of these statements are value judgement, you’re doing a category error here.
Of course that’s emotional.
Reducing suffering is based on the idea that I don’t like suffering, therefore I don’t want others to suffer. That’s emotional.

This is nonsense. you should study philosophy and stop reading “rationalist” blogs.
