      So your morality is arbitrary

      Yours isn’t? Where does it come from?

      both agree that the chicken has more reason to live than you do.

      You’re clearly not trolling

        Your morality isn’t arbitrary?

        This is literally nihilism.

        I’m genuinely happy to discuss metaethics, but I’m getting a sense that you don’t actually care about ethics very much, given your nihilism.

          This is literally nihilism.

          No, it’s not.

          Nihilism requires intentionally rejecting morality. Accepting that any belief is inherently arbitrary, but still caring about that, is not nihilism

            Nihilism is the belief that morality is arbitrary, which is what you said.

            Since human minds are incapable of genuine nihilism, I’ll assume you’re just a garden variety psychopath instead.

            Don’t bother replying, I blocked you.
