That's not what The Endless are. They are the memory aether of actual people stored in Living Memory, sustained and then given form by soul aether. Sphene also mourned Wuk Lamat's milk maid. Krile's parents expressed real love.

And not all of The Endless did interact with us, as you describe. Quite a lot of them merely thought of us as other Endless. They were just conscious of the fact that they had lived once and lost their original body.

It's more akin to if you had your body horrifically mangled, but they were able to save your brain by hooking it up to a computer, and then you were able to control a robot body or make a hologram speak or something.

Despite everything, it's still you.

Denying that people are people, even if they get damaged or disabled is actually the far more dangerous line of thinking, and that's where your head is at, Turtle. That's the path to excusing large scale atrocities.

If an entity has every requisite of humanity in it, what right have you to deny its humanity?

I recommend you watch the movie Bicentennial Man.
