Definitely true, and I didn't mean to imply that. Just think it is important to point out that we do have existing ways to sustainability eat beef, though as you point out it would require cutting back consumption to something more app

Pasture raised cattle, and other grazing animals, can actually be very environmentally friendly. Properly managed pasture requires very little to no fertilizer, pesticides, or herbicides and acts as a net carbon sink. It can also have a lar

I remember when the PS3 came out. There were a lot of people who were convinced it was going to be in real short supply so bought multiple at midnight launch to sell them on ebay. Unfortunately the demand wasn't really there and a lot

That's a very beautiful, though ultimately sad, story. It inspired me to read Endurance which is just an amazing tale. Part of me does wonder if we over valorize these tales of suffering though. Is it worth all the death, injuries, and

I'm not super keen on it, though I like Electric cars. I think that they will, or at least should, transition to being more open as electric cars become more common and in a larger variety.

I think a good example is cars. Imagine having a Ford car that you could only get repaired at Ford dealerships, that only took Ford bumper stickers or other accessories, and only could get filled up with Ford gas at Ford gas stations. I thi

Indeed, it is very important to remember that there is always a human cost of making things illegal, and that the harm of the enforcement needs to be weighed against the harm of the problem you are trying to solve.

I think the big question the Odyssey asks is what does time and violence do to people. What did Odysseus' journey do to him, what did it do to his son who grew up without him, what did it do to his wife and father who had to go on livi

We lose knowledge, diversity, skills, and a link to our past. I understand why the people are leaving, I would probably make the same choice. But we shouldn't also act like there isn't a loss.

It's sad to see anything this old fade away. At the same time I definitely understand why the young people there are making the choice to move to cities. There is a romance to being a nomad, but I'm sure there is a lot of sufferin

I wonder if this has to do with location as well. This reply cites a food pantry in Chicago, an area of the country that doesn't produce much produce. The farms in Illinois mostly grow corn and soybeans that feed cows. The article is i

But one is the truth and the other is lies. Also one is getting kicked off Twitter, the other is going to prison. It's the same thing that the government could falsely arrest me tomorrow for a murder I didn't commit, but that does
