no offense dude but you GOTTA be blocked

Even if opposing the mass torture and slaughter of hundreds of billions of animals every year was ableist, classist, or even racist, that would not make me doubt that I should oppose said mass torture and slaughter. It would introduce the surprising concept of justified bigotry

this is the intellectual capacity of the red pressing devils

In a world that often feels deeply polarized, it is rare to find a topic where almost everyone agrees. The treatment of farm animals is one of them. Surveys across many countries show that a strong majority of people, regardless of their diet, oppose common practices in animal agriculture. In the chart you can see survey data from the UK. Given these surveys, and with the increasing availability of plant-based meat alternatives, one might expect people in these countries to be shifting away from consuming animal products. But the data shows a different story. At a global level, meat consumption is not only high but also increasing. Each year, hundreds of billions of land animals, fish, and crustaceans are farmed and killed to produce food. There is a clear gap between what people want — meat produced without suffering — and what the food system delivers. Understanding this gap is the first step to closing it. In a new article, Pablo Rosado makes the case that one of the biggest opportunities of our generation is to build a system where the food we eat reflects the values we already hold.

this is the equivalent of those grammatical errors in phishing emails. This guy's not thinking that women in general like this, he's trying to figure out whether you are vulnerable to malign manipulation.

Me when I invert the assumptions behind the system I am critiquing by exactly 180 degrees as a little joke

the dreaded platonist hegelian

I tried to do what we call, if I may be so bold, a "conceptual scoop"!! Pls read my story on the most overlooked form of extreme confinement of farm animals—the routine caging of dairy calves in tiny crates less than 1/10 the size of a parking spot. It's not about veal! (🧵)

Let’s not worry about whether this is an *obvious* joke; all that matters is that this is a standard amount of obviousness for a joke on twitter, so if you don’t find it obvious (which is okay!) you should probably keep that in mind going forward

The lads are alright

But how would Hans-Hermann Hoppe feel if he hadn't had breakfast today

This is real btw

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

I am always saying this

note how bluesky is imminently screenshottable

This whole affair has given me information about the intellectual integrity of one analytic undergrad as well as about that of a hundred continentals on this platform

My philosophical evolution in 7 steps, and yours? 1. Schopenhauer 2. Kant 3. Parfit 4. Korsgaard 5. Nagel 6. Jean Hampton 7. Flo

I’ve mostly abandoned this platform and moved to BlueSky. But what happened in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday was too important not to share here too. This is a long thread on the police massacre in Rio. Please, take sometime to read it and consider retweeting. 1/22
