> Meanwhile back on planet Earth some higher primates in one corner of the world get to not be experimented on. don't care that much about what you call "planet Earth". yeah, someone has to care about this too (we also need to survive the present in order to steer the world towards our visions) but I choose to not be one of them. my little "vision of future" is cool enough for me. and when back on "planet Earth" I strive to pull people and things as strong as possible towards my vision, and hopefully one day the future will get close enough to it, and at least my grandchildren will enjoy some of it. actually, the only reason I cared about this piece of news is because its consequences have the possibility to steer the future to a point that might be different from my vision, and this is something I care about, and I instinctively attack anything threatening my vision event potentially ...especially when bored enough to enjoy some trolling. ...but I sincerely appreciate you comment :) mine was a crazy-ish rant, but yours actually has useful copy writing style tips that I might find useful here on "planet earth". cheers!

I think your vision will come about whether or not we experiment on chimps and their like. It might take ever so slightly longer to arrive at your vision, but in the mean time we cut down on what some of us believe to be the unnecessary suffering of non-human animals. But think about it this way. Maybe it'll force us to ramp up computer bio-simulation, and that might be very successful, and that might mean that it might take ever so slightly shorter to arrive at your vision! I want to comment on this assertion of yours, "I strive to pull people and things as strong as possible towards my vision, and hopefully one day the future will get close enough to it, and at least my grandchildren will enjoy some of it." What happens if someone else's vision is at variance with yours? Or they disagree with the means to achieve your vision? No amount of pulling will make people move in your direction if they really don't want to go there. How are you going to get to where you want to go without conflict? Is there a place for the element of compromise along your path? :) Thanks for saying you appreciate what I wrote! Keep on dreaming big!
