Asking for peer reviewed study a common knowlage is dishonest at best, if l claim that heart pumps blood, would l be required to prove that statement?
l would say no, because that follows under common knowlage.
Do you honestly disbelieve that more complex brain=high intelligence? l want an honest answer.
Or are you just asking just for the sake of it?
What is a peer reviewed study?
You can claim your foot pumps blood if you like but you will have to validate that with the science.
What I believe or not, my opinion doesnt count, The truth, the facts are the only thing that counts.
If I cut your foot off, will you feel pain? Will your pain be more intense then the pain of childbirth, of appendicitis , of a heart attack? How do we know the answer to that question?
Are you one of the rare people who does not feel pain? Do you have the use of your foot or did you lose it and no longer need it in the sense of the pain or feel mechanisms of your body. Ie does that foot register touch or pain. Is it sending distress signals to your brain?
So many variables we must measure.
We dont do that by saying man flu is the worst , we measure it.
If I pull wings off a fly, how on earth would you know if that is more painful or less painful than a human foot being cut off. You say humans are no more important then animals so you cannot argue your pain would be more important then a fly’s pain. In fact you could argue, you have two feet and will survive without one foot, but a fly needs its wings to survive.
