> Maybe. I have a pretty dim view of democracy as a form of government, so probably not.
As a person living in a shaky democracy this is pretty triggering. Your democracy is very flawed and I'm very aware of its problems, but the alternative is so much worse.
> In my experience, it's a fad.
It's trending up. So it might be a fad but that's how changes start.
People don't need to go vegan, that's the point. Reduction and moderate change will be a tremendous impact.
- PrimeMcFly 3y ago> but the alternative is so much worse. I think there are better alternatives than democracy. It's something I hope to publish something on. It astounds me that we have so much more knowledge and modeling capacity these days, but this 'problem' of optimal form of government has not seen any progress being made - everyone just stopped at 'democracy'. > It's trending up. There are conflicting reports on that, so I don't think you can say that with confidence. A lot of sites also are unreliable, correlating an increase in plant based foods with growth of veganism, for example. > Reduction and moderate change will be a tremendous impact. It really won't. Companies are the problem. People will never have more than a minimal impact.
- javanissen 3y ago> Companies are the problem. Companies sell to people. If the people reject certain types of products en masse, the company has to change its behavior or it will die.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoNot all companies sell to people, some sell to other companies. Like oil companies. Or wholesale manufacturers of plastic goods.
