many people choose other lines, and their decisions are equally as arbitrary as someone who draws the line at sentience.

it is arbitrary, since you can choose to draw the line in many places.

what I mean is it’s an arbitrary line to draw. you might choose to draw the line at living things, or terrestrial life, or terrestrial and ocean life. but, arbitrarily, some people choose to draw the line at sentience. the vegan society definition arbitrarily draws the line at animal life.

sentience is arbitrary, too.

there are “spaces” now which is a collection of rooms, which is a pretty good analogue for discord “servers”
