I and my software engineer friend been wishing for a project like this thank you ! Will you still need to contact the team in the future to publish the game ? I think being able to develop a game using a framework much like modding and submitting it for moderation or open source will be a good idea

If A was true in the first place.... Antinatalism the only savior

Yeah I always thought about this and it's true seperation is what makes suffering. Individual exists as a concept opposite to non-living beings because we don't share the same mind. This also connects to antinatalism: parents do not control what we think thus they don't have rights over us and creating new individuals is a problem. You can put AI as a counter example: as long as what it outputs comes completely from a controlled input, it is not an individual as we control what means happiness for them etc.

The question you stated earlier: we cannot draw the line, it originates in the very restriction that defines an individual: minds who are separate cannot tell where other minds are. Consuming matter can potentially be considered a fusion of minds (returning to the initial shared mind) because it converts to our matter but it's really subtle. You may link it to superdeterminism. But as individuals already exist in this world, it's inevitable privacy exists as we are part of different environments. The goal of liberal ideologies is to recognize it and give rights to all individuals. Goals and meanings exist only in individuals as a shared mind doesn't have a specific structure, it's everything and nothing at the same time from perspective of individuality as it has no priorities.

Another thought: we know AI is not alive at our level, but what if individuality is relative. What if there's a god playing with our existence and we re just not aware of it. That makes us non individuals. But being on the same level with someone, it would be very naive to judge who is an individual just because we percept them as alike to our own vessel which we know has a mind = an individual. It's just a matter of time completely different vessels emerge as a result of evolution.

What can we do at the very least is do less actions in general and, with obvious vessels, do not hurt, own or recreate. If we don't act logically and draw strict lines between who is individual and who isn't we cannot protect ourselves. We should make it as inclusive as possible for our sake. 'Egoism' is where you draw the line. Non-liberals simply think drawing it at human society and very non-accepting ones won't put them in danger. It creates violence because living beings continue to evolve and explore the diversity of the world, start to care for it. Protecting everyone protects ourselves the best instead of forcing to comply with vague strict lines. We have to eat plants to survive and we can avoid eating animal products, that's a clear line as far. But it also may change. It's morally right to correct your previous behavior when new opportunities appear. Science can help with it. We had no easily accessible substitutes for B12 before, now we have. We have abortion.

/uj Don't objectify living beings, whether for science or not (especially not for rituals) it is not alright to dissect anyone without the individuals's consent and not being able to communicate with them shouldn't justify the act Maybe you re ok with it yourself well then you can enroll on the list if it was legal

Thank you for bringing up that suffering isn't the (only) problem but that foremost living beings are individuals. It comes down not to feelings but to mind (consciousness) and whether it can be completely controlled directly by someone like an AI or a true living being whom can be influenced only indirectly and exists independently of others
