if it was discovered somehow that every electron was a conscious life form and that using them in our electronics was committing genocide of that life form, would it be ethical to continue to use electronics?

Morally, would we all need to become Amish?

When you metabolize, electron transfer occurs
So you'd need to stop metabolizing

Except that nothing we do in electronics is destroying any electrons.

well you know that there are some ethical questions about using reinforcement learning algorithms to do stuff:

Some elevators, coffee machines, printers, and elevators use reinforcement learning. You might be making your printer feel pain by not printing off 20 pages a day at regular intervals.

>Blatantly misunderstanding English spelling

It's not gh that's f, it's the -ough cluster that's "uff".

It's not ti that's sh, it's the -tion cluster that's "shun".

And "women" is only "wimmin" in some accents.

English spelling has rules, and under those rules "ghoti" can only be pronounced "goatee." It's more semi-syllabic than phonetic.

>English spelling has rules
Under English spelling any pronunciation has multiple "correct" spellings.
About 20-30% of all words are irregular and violate one or more rules.
This is why text-to-speech and (worse yet) speech-to-text rely heavily on dictionary data, and not the rules.

When you wipe your ass with toilet paper you instantly kill over 1 billion little germs that were living peacefully and harmlessly in your poop.
Now that you know that, will it stop you from shitting?
