They should make a single home stambox like a console version of the Deck, and call it the Engine
And yet people default to those systems and have since the agricultural revolution.
As for plant stimuli, who are you to say that doesn't constitute pain? They sure communicate it to those around them, cut grass smell and all that. Does an ant not feel pain because it mostly just responds to and sends out pheromones? Bit of a "my red is your blue" argument you're making.
Pretty much, yeah. And I'm not convinced by your news article either as the study described relies on the reporting of pet-owners. Vegan cat owners forcing such a diet on their pet aren't exactly people I trust to be 100% honest about the wellness of said cat.
Convincing people to be ethical past the point of inconvenience requires insincerity, yes. The average person is a horrible human being
Well that's fucked. If I donate my body to science, it certianly isnt so my skull can sit in some dudes living room
If belligerent internet comments actually convinced you to change your diet in such an inconvenient manner for no reward but moral superiority, you are not like the people you're trying to convince. Abusers and cults love bomb because its more effective on a random sample of people
Two things. First, the fact most people arent hunting the animals thenselves really isnt shocking. Human society thrives on specialization. We dont farm or forage our own veggies either, we dont engineer our own cars, we dont construct our own houses. Thats kinda just how civilization works. Its not uniquely symptomatic of "carnists".
Secondly, you severely underestimate people. Primitive tribes, even if they were less effective at securing large amounts of meat, still hunted without any moral compunctions about the matter. Evolution is a slow thing, people who did that were just like us in any way that matters. Its not unreasonable to assume most people would adjust if you strip away the automation of society. Desperate people resort to cannibalism for goodness sake, I wouldnt put hunting past them.
I think I will actually do this now just to prove you wrong
Lmfao. You gonna be vegan Stalin or something?
And this is why its impossible to have a conversation with yall. Even if you believe this, if you are hostile to outsiders, you just guarantee theyll want to do it more. Cult deprogrammers have to be real nice and mostly just listen for a reason
We really dont though. It is simply not realistic to fight for an ethic that requires the overwhelming majority to be hyperrational in their ethics. Human nature tends toward cruelty, and Ive yet to see a vegan have recourse for that.
Setting aside the whole plants feel pain too bit
Can I see dislikes tho?
