      So your morality is arbitrary, and at least we can both agree that the chicken has more reason to live than you do.

        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.

            No, it’s not.

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