- noosphr 5mo agoWhen we can turn off distress and pain in farm animals we would have done more to improve well-being in the world than anyone alive today. Factory farms stop being an efficient evil and become the only moral way to produce meat. And as a side effect we also get super intelligence on a substrate that is 10 orders of magnitude more energy efficient than silicon.
