I mentioned eating after surgery because your link gave not more information. Thanks for the link to https://sci-hub.mu/ I fail to see the strawman arguments that you mention again. The discussion is about the probability o

Obviously we read something different in our messages. Anyway: - Orcas are mammals and not fish. - Your study talks about fish. So does the first article I mentioned. "My" article mentions nociceptors and opioids (pain killers) an

To assume that animals that behave as if they had emotions actually have emotions is not anthrocentric but intelligent thinking. This not like the question whether Earth orbits the sun or the sun orbits Earth in case you do not know the mas

I am European but I agree. Although the terrible situation in North Africa and the Middle East (notably Iraq, Libya, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Palestine, Iran) was and is still enforced by some NATO member states (notably USA, UK, France)

I do not think that the author of the article has a hidden agenda but mentioning that healthy food can cost more is either misleading or useless. Quote (of a lie): "Instead, there is a range of economic and social factors that make eat

I agree although the healthiest diet has a name: vegan or better whole food plant based diet. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGJq0eQZoFSwgcqgxIE9MHw/vid... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC

If you want kids then have kids. Individual actions do not matter globally. We are far away from global overpopulation. Unless people insist on fossil fuel, waste of resources and animal products as food. More people are needed for more wo

Keep your job if you like it or need it. What you can do: - Do not panic. A good life is important for work for improvement. - Yes to all of your suggestions. You are vegan ? Good for you and the rest of the world. - Tell other people how i

I agree with your last sentence (although mining cadmium might be useful, I do not know) and this is also related to your second argument. What is worth being protected ? IMO life and diversity (except e.g. harmful mosquitoes) and health an

I do not know about the effects of plastic decomposition on the climate. But the replacement of animal products by vegan food is the only sane choice for medical, ethical, economic and ecological reasons. http://www.cowspiracy.co

Thanks for the discussion. I assume that those who down vote do not reply. But I disagree that recycling is a big point regarding solar panels and batteries. IMO lack of recycling and toxic waste are very lame and ignorant and misleading ex

I agree. But going to Mars in the next decades is a useless horrific suicide mission that only serves to make a few people famous. IMO persons will colonize moons, planets and space ships once their biological body is replaced by a machine

IMO Thorium reactors are too late. In some decades, there will be enough solar power, wind power and fusion power anyway. But there is enough Uranium and Thorium for many centuries, even millennia. The most important problem to solve is cli
