"insect kill" GUY1 I can't figure out if it's morally okay to kill insects. GUY1 Imagine you're trotting along through the grass, and then bam, someone steps on you. GUY1 It would be instant death and out of nowhere. GUY1 The surviving insects would see other insects mysteriously collapsing into piles of mush. GUY1 It would be a regular part of life. And no one would know why. GUY2 That's just it. They don't have self-awareness. They're not really intelligent. GUY1 Just because they're not aware of us doesn't mean they're not aware of themselves. GUY1 Think about us. There might be higher life forms on a different but intersecting plane of physics. GUY1 People don't randomly get squashed, so, if they exist, we know that they're at least polite enough not to -- *squish* GUY1 is spontaneously smashed. GUY2 cautiously looks up and around and backs away. Title-text: If you see a large foot coming through a rupture in space-time, I recommend stepping out of the way.
