  • If you think about it, organs that serve dual purpose for excretion and sex is disgusting. You’re doing oral where pee also comes out. Most people don’t think this is terrible because speciesm. We think possessing anus hanging over one’s face is disgusting. But if snails could talk, they would say it is disgusting to have sex where your organs also just peed.



  • I was talking about this with a friend. The younger generations got screwed over because we have to evaluate what we value more, and give up one over the other to achieve one of the life goals. I managed to save for a house; but only because I lived with my parents for many years before moving out. I don’t have a car and I haven’t gone on foreign holidays in years. Meanwhile, my friend has travelled in so many countries but he doesn’t have enough savings for a house. The boomer generation has been able to afford to live their life to the fullest with just a single household income, and didn’t have to give up any or all of their life goals, values and desires.











  • The implication is that these surplus food could be given to other countries. But that means local farmers are out-competed (same reason why giving clothes to poor countries are discouraged because it out-competes local clothes manufacturers). Hence, when I said world hunger is solved, but it is not because of free market. But blaming free market alone is even an oversimplification; there is a more practical solution which I am sure will get a bigger pushback from majority of the world.
