And probably eating animals. Once we have lab grown meat it'll be easy to take the moral high ground on that.

- bitL 10y agoWhat sucks is that everything around/in us fights for survival by eating all living things it could. So even if we manage to avoid animals, plants will still send distress signals once we collect them, nuts will still contain powerful allergens, viruses will still eat us from inside etc. Simply that's how life works; to change it we would need to go beyond Universe and reprogram it from outside.
- neom 10y ago"to change it we would need to go beyond Universe and reprogram it from outside." - that was quite beautiful.
- devoply 10y agoOriginal sin was when the first living creature decided to eat another living creature instead of getting energy directly from the source like the sun or a thermal vent.
- rifung 10y agoI thought the point of avoiding the consumption of animals was so we wouldn't have to murder things which have similar concepts of fear and pain as we do. Why would plants sending distress signals or nuts with allergens be an issue?
