You point out that contemporary HG's are non-white so often that I'm starting to think ethnicity is somehow an important factor to you. Do you know th...
Life only wants you to think that it's about sex in order to obfuscate its cyclical existential crisis. Like all good show(o)men, it fakes it until yo...
It stands to reason that some groups will have engaged in more violence prior to western influence, and some will have engaged in less (it's not an ei...
To be clear, the Hadza are the least violent hunter-gatherer group I've found, but they're still more violent than the west at least in terms of homic...
Whataboutism isn't really that bad and all, but pointing to total numbers of suicide is less revealing than pointing to suicide per capita or a full p...
I don't remember enrolling in moral outrage 101. The Hadza happen to be semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, and so are Eskimo, but if I've not addressed hu...
Here's an article which covers a gamut of reasons for infanticide. Here's an article covering the superstition based killing of twins in a region of I...
The only thing I've said is backwards are reasons for infanticide. Violent, superstitious, scraping a living from the dirt, need to be educated out of...
I find the Candian "living tree" (an ongoing interpretative process) metaphor and the American constitutional originalism extremes to both be rather s...
You're basically saying archeology and anthropology are hopeless endeavors because we don't have perfectly representative remnants. Depending on the g...
It would be themselves if the universe was solipsistic so no. If the universe was not solipsistic, then it would be better characterized as an angel o...
Well, if solipsism grants absolute certainty, and someone was validly absolutely certain that they were in a solipsistic universe, then they by defini...
Solipsists cannot logically reason that they are in a solipsistic universe using the following argument: P1: I would have certainty in a solipsistic u...
Can a solipsist doubt their beliefs? Yes. I might have said that a solipsist can only become a solipsist by doubting that anything they perceive did n...
We can actually learn quite a bit about how people lived from their scant remains and ruins. The bones themselves tell us about the age of the decease...
I would like to ask if you can imagine a technologically advanced society that is not a disaster. Is anything short of utopia not worth the effort? Ob...
I think it's about 1/1 000 000 that a benevolent god would force us all to claw and chomp the raw bit of reality in such a harsh world filled with thi...
It's hard to believe unlucky coincidence. The headline alone which mimics the 14 word shtick, and is itself 14 words, is too much to accept as acciden...
Actually I pointed out your well repeated misinterpretation, and then explained why your continued misinterpretation suggests you're an anti-natalist....
You know very well that I'm not arguing that we ought to reproduce or raise farm animals for their own sake. I've explained this multiple times, you k...
If anyone is interested in first hand accounts and criticism of old school beatniks and hipsters , I just came across this absolute gem: https://www.y...
We're talking about booze, nicotine, and THC, not crack-cocaine or Fentanyl. Different substances do different things, and many of them do not require...
It's Prager U. It's like, some kind of conservative video production group founded by a religious American conservative pundit who panders to pro-Amer...
Medical professionals might not be intimately acquainted with our individual emotional ups and downs, and when to have a beer, a smoke, or a toke is p...
Humans have been self-medicating since time immemorial... Incorporating some sort of psycho-active substance or inebriant into diet or rituals is abso...
A) Once a creature is born it can begin exhibiting preferences and interests. Therefore, once a pig is born it can be indirectly pleased that you crea...
But I can afford the pig if I harvest it at some point, and I'm confident that the pig would rather have lived and been harvested than to have never l...
The study found that a non-animals agriculture would increase the amount of grain available in our societal food stores, resulting in a more grain hea...
I'm well aware that Vegans eat grains, and you're well aware that eating too many grains and not enough variety of other plants will result in nutriti...
The article is not telling people to give up healthy foods. It takes a look at the feasibility of America switching to a national vegan through the nu...
But this is what you seem to think plants are: a silver-bullet to solve problems while creating none. Alas, a lack... The world isn's so easily manage...
We definitely do. Appreciating the novel and the other can be quite difficult for some; it often takes wise eyes. Good music is hard to scoff at thoug...
I don't know if this counts because I was listening to it in my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBFYUUChIYU Something about the nipponification ...
I know that a well planned plant-based diet does not include too much grain, which is what we would have on our hands given the aforementioned difficu...
In Canada, "the Crown" is ostensibly the federal government given how very little the monarchy and governor/lieutenant generals can actually do (they'...

Vegetable produce is inherently more expensive than grains and legumes. We rely on grains so heavily because they are easy to grow, are light weight, ...
This is not exactly relevant to the discussion we're having, is it? Appealing to presumed hypocrisy in my actions doesn't establish your argument abou...
Whether it magnified or amplified, distilled or quickened, concealed or revealed, the contemporary result is the same: a new wave of white nationalism...
Long ago, only white Europeans were allowed to immigrate to America, and only white land owning males could vote... Fast forward to 1830, the rising p...
Trying to grow crops which require warmer weather or more water or better quality soil runs the risk of crop failure, which is why farmers are very ca...
It's customary to make some attempt to cite or paraphrase, otherwise we're just hurling links at one another. Its main criticism is based on the fact ...
This is pricelessly apt. I read straight through a new english version of the old testament when I was quite young, so this simile has been fermenting...
Destination truth, ultimate verity, will likely never be reached, but as we rid ourselves of our fallacious reasoning and fill in our knowledge gaps w...
I've stated that factory farming standards are immoral in one my earliest posts in this thread... But just to clarify, if I ethically raise chickens a...
Not if the population keeps growing and we don't come up with a new way to meet our food and nutrition requirements. You were making the argument that...
Nothing would make me happier to take the cleverness credit for referring to "kafka-trapping" with hidden meaning, but I honestly just thought it soun...
