He got completely owned in a back and forth with him in the comment section by me and some other dude (his own comment thread at that). My guess is that was his reason for taking it down
What did you and the other guy say?
Basically something along the lines of:
The other guy: "The trait 'being human' solves the problem."
Me: "In before Ask Yourself falsely equates that to an 'appeal to species' and brings in aliens, all the while completely forgetting that Premise 1 takes care of that alien counter entirely, because he didnt want to (nor couldnt) bootstrap ethics in his argument."
Ask Yourself: "You're being retarded. 'Being human' as the trait can be countered in multiple ways like by an abstraction to species, or transferring your conciousness to a nonhuman body"
Other guy: "So you need sci-fi bullshit that doesn't exist to make your argument work?"
Me: "Already showed 2 comments ago how your abstraction to species would contradict premise 1, rendering name the trait invalid, and your ridiculous argument of 'transferring of consciousness to nonhuman bodies' would just make us expand our definition of what it means to be 'human', just like how we consider people with fake limbs still human. Got any other bullshit "counters" in your toolbox?"
2 minutes later the video was taken down XD
