Okay now you're the one getting into pseudoscience. What is sentience in your book? People disagree on what sentience is exactly but I think at a basic level it's the ability to experience feelings or sensations. The process of touch is associated with our sensory organs and nervous system. First our peripheral nervous system or sensory nerves activate to stimuli and send signals to our cns or brain where we process those signals. Of course that's a basic explanation but "consciousness" or "sentience" requires a complex nervous system to process that information and generate awareness.

As far as we know plants lack that ability to process information. Of course plants react to stimuli as they're living as you said. For photosynthesis, it does not require any decision making or sentience. This communication you see are non-sentient responses relying on things such as gene expression. So anyways, I don't understand the purpose of your generalizations on vegans. I'll say it again, they are ignorant people in every community and in no way does that reflect the whole community.

For your last argument, veganism isn't about whether or not we're omnivores and we don't rely on your opinion on whether or not veganism is unnatural.

Smoking is great. Tiktok, not so much.

I really can't tell if you're being serious or not. Poe's law I guess. But just in case - every fucking cause or belief or whatever will have idiots doing it for illogical, pseudoscientific, ignorant, etc. reasons. I assure you majority of vegans aren't downright stupid and ignorant. Though some confuse animals with sentience.

Oh well. Maybe kids should get interested in STEM and shit instead of getting addicted to these pranksters and influencers with nothing of value and nothing intelligent going on in their heads..

Fuck off. You think tik tok and social media is reality? The reality is that there have always been willfully ignorant people and there always will be. In every population. Your generalizations really reflect yourself huh?
