I agree with your entire reply. > Most people just aren’t philosophical about their dining habits or their pets That is to say, people typically pursue these behaviours without considering the reasons or consequences. This is what I would call "not giving a shit" > mostly cultural things I also agree with this. Other things that are "mostly cultural things": war, all other forms of murder torture and rape, slavery, colonialism and other forms of physical domination of one group by another, destructive assault on the natural environment for profit with no consideration for the long term consequences.
