> I don't think humans are particularly special, and I don't believe in human rights. I don't believe humans are particularly special, but "human rights" are nothing more than what societies deem as requirements for leading fulfilling lives and the degree to which we have those rights is determined solely by the willingness of society to protect those rights. There are no "natural rights" only rights that we recognize and implement for ourselves at a societal level. There is nothing stopping a society from making access to something arbitrary a "human right" like the "right to be delivered a new blue hoodie every winter solstice" and then protecting and enforcing that right. If a society decides that humans have no rights, then you'd be correct in that there are no human rights which is what you may experience in some parts of the world. |
