SPEECH IS AN INSUFFICIENT CRITERIA FOR THE CATEGORY “HUMAN”

This is why I say that there is a vast difference between declaring people HUMAN just because they can speak, instead of declaring people HUMAN because they have AGENCY.

Speech is an insufficient test of sufficient agency to enter into a contract, for the same reason that children lack sufficient agency to enter into contract.

You can only cooperate with whom you can cooperate, and you cannot enter into contract with people who lack agency – because they are not yet domesticated (fully human).

So:

… 1) it is one thing to have your human potential BLOCKED (addiction to supernatural religions);

… 2) and another lack the TRAINING to transition from primate to human; and another to seek to circumvent the LABOR of exercising agency;

… 3) and another to possess agency because you have the ability, training, and WILL to possess and therefore demonstrate agency.

(That was important, so read it again.)
