RE: You Can't Be A Vegetarian
the point is definitely more or less!! If one industry or dietary choice is highly more polluting than another, far more inefficient, causes way more health problems etc etc then we definitely have to try to tackle that.
no because there is no such thing as "We". some people die from smoking, or drugs, or booze or extreme sports. A house cat lives longer than an outdoor cat but I still want to be an outdoor cat. It is not "our" choice but mine alone. The playground, earth, does not belong to anyone.
if we start deciding who gets to do what based on sheer numbers then we are no better than the animals of the jungle.
your philosophy makes no sense at all and has no coherence, it seems pretty self serving. your last sentence implies that you think we are 'better' than animals in the jungle but the whole point of your article above is that life is cyclical rather than linear? Now your implying life is linear and we are at the top of the food chain because we are better than the animals in the jungle.
Few points to finish. There is a 'we' whether you choose to see it or not is irrelevant and unfortunately as well 'sheer numbers' already do decide things. Unfortunately the numbers thus far have generally been undemocratic (military force, economic and political power, control of resources both often in the hands of a small group of people etc).
If you read history honestly you will see that we are no better than the animals in the jungle, and its actually that idea of human exceptionalism that is a central issue!!
And actually your arguments are suggesting that earth does belong to us and we can treat her how the fuck we want without any care about the damage we cause.
no we are not better than other animals. we are the same. we have needs and desires, only in a different sense.
I specifically say that our society is jungle 2.0.
dude. read the article
