What is this idea about not eating non-humans I communicate with. I speak with my plants too and they entertain complex thought. Do I have to stop eating them? There is nothing out there that isn't a person. Continue eating as you see fit and be kind to the living.

Speaking to something doesn't mean it understands and reacts to it.

Speaking is an act of changing reality, always. If you want to go as far as calling this 'speaking to' is up to you.
