Further, "beings" is ill an defined term (may be defined somewhere, I have not studied this philosophy). Is an anthill (as opposed to individual ants) a being? Many claim it is a superbeing
"Being" is notorious for evading definition. The reality is that "Being" is comprised of more than just flesh and bone inclusive of personal property and space occupied.
Trouble is, if you allow for an anthill to be a being, can I hurt it? How can I avoid hurting it? I don't know what harms an anthill. Other "beings" can be even more problematic
I ment of course "an ill defined term". A thousand years from now, people will read volumes from the spelling mistakes we make on this undying blockchain I am sure. :)
