Really I think your appeal to heodinism is just a value system like everyone else. Some people choose vegetables over nihilism.
- asdff 5y agoI still think its a little bit of a fallacy to think that eating vegetables is somehow better or worse for the world. Where did that carrot come from? A field in idaho that was once a forest hosting thousands of deer and other animals, that's since been clearcut and overfertilized to the point where the runoff is polluting the local river systems and making downstream ecosystems barren of life. There is blood on everyone's hands unless you set out to grow your own food on land that's already been scarred by someone else's poor behavior. These are the realities of the modern world. You can either spend every second of your life stressing out about how it continually gets worse, and promises made decades ago by leaders are always broken in time, or you could try to block it out and take a more stoic approach to it all, and who knows maybe you might actually luck out and fool your brain into feeling legitimately good about things.
