Yes, you didn't tell people not to eat meat "in both of your comments above" (nice hedge, I'll look at your comment history later) but you still only preach about eating less meat and not doing anything else to combat cl

Great way to eat if you live in a rich country, or, dunno, California, I guess. Rather than saying "vegan", why not be honest and just say "Silicon Valley diet"? "Spirulina", "seaweed", "edamame&

Eating less meat is not "more moral" it's just what you want people to do. It's always the same thing, when a post is about the environment the vegans come in and start telling everyone to stop eating meat to save the pl

Thanks, I understand the experiment as described. But if you start by asking "what makes a pig optimistic", you're already assuming that a pig can be optimistic. Whatever reason you find after that to say that the pig is opti

No, the main difference from the past is that we have been taking fossil fuels out of the earth and burning it for the last 200 years, and releasing in that very short time the CO₂ that has been stored in them for many millions of years. Th

That's just splitting hairs. The weights don't matter. What matters is that the EAs claim that their maths measure the morality of actions. It doesn't matter if they disagree over the parameters, what matters is that they agr
