This planet that humanity dominates is the only known place where life, certainly advanced life, exists. What humans do with this power and responsibility is perhaps the most important question that can be asked

If it could be proven that one diet caused significantly more suffering than another, ethical vegans would change it; indeed as the evidence shows, we have. Meat eaters should question their own sincerity when discussing livestock suffering

@BreezyPinkPony It's great you are thinking about chickens! Free range is better, but it's worth looking up their lives, like what happens to male chickens. Avocadoes are a great replacement for eggs if you are having them on toast, and in baking there are quite a few egg replacers available.

@johnknittel9 It's worth remembering that Beef is a class 2a carcinogen, and US Beef is limited in the EU due to of its use of artificial hormones. The ingredients on the left are things most people eat regularly already, which is why Beyond is very open about them https://t.co/5VFCMA7YF1

Bigoted geniuses of the past: I know how to screw over those Jews, we'll force them into being bankers and landlords

If capitalism gave consumers what they wanted, streaming service content would have ratings.

Universities are full of people earnestly studying things they hope will make the world a better place, but most of this good intention will end up being dashed on the rocks of capitalism

Capitalism has a plan for your life but it doesn't care about you.

In trying to live an ethical life, each of us faces the challenge of trying to free our conceptions of fairness from our innate selfishness.

When religious people talk about faith, it is not actually faith in a God, but in a religion.

For whatever reason people voted "No", when they celebrate their likely victory, they should take a moment to acknowledge their numbers were swelled by conspiracy theorists, racists, conservative partisans, and the politically far right, far left or apathetic.

Perpetual material growth is a recipe for environmental destruction, but given that ballooning wealth beyond basic material needs fails to increase societal happiness, maybe this opportunity to rethink well-being beyond surrounding ourselves with more inanimate goods is a gift.

I believe in the motivational power of capitalism, but not enough to watch it take down the natural world whilst we cheer it on from the sidelines.

@michaelshermer Yeh there's a lot of weird insults in Australia, like "get f*cled". Don't mind if I do.

Hilltops and riverbanks are jewels of nature. That in our cities we allow them to be monopolised by private individuals says a lot about our mixed up priorities

People posit themselves as the goal of artificial intelligence, but we do not understand ourselves enough to define this sort of intelligence in any meaningfully coherent way.

@sentientist What percentage of conversations are with sexually interested people? They are still talking to friends, family, people who aren't attracted to their gender or them a majority of the time. Flirting or other mating specific skills probably influenced, but unlikely to be general.
