I regard all actions as objectively morally neutral unless persuaded otherwise.

I feel empathy towards other sentinent animals, but this is an emotional fallacy and not a rational reason to abstain or comit towards an action. This emotional reaction is most likely a product of evolutionary reciprocal altruism to further spread human genes that is accidentally triggered by other species.

Big brain science berk misreads Nietzsche, thinks abstaining from pointless cruelty is moralism, more at 11.

Just logged in again from 2 years ago. Competent brain berk confuses Darwinian Reality with moral objective truth. Tune in at 11 for our article on how zoomers wasted $50,000+ dollars in degrees in emotively driven irrational non-scientific bullshit. I start with first principles, not hand me down edicts.

Sarcasm aside, I've been listening to a Youtuber called 'AskYourself' who actually makes some rational contributions towards promoting veganism. E.g. Name the trait.

Yeah, get a load of this guy. Don't let him get his hands on any Stirner or he'll grossly misunderstand that too.

Logged in again here two years later to reply to another thing and saw your messages.

Please don't read the "The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins", or you may holocaust a race of people due to a misunderstanding of reality as synonymous with moral objective truth.

Sarcasm aside, the youtuber 'AskYourself' is at least making rational arguments for veganism via "name the trait". So far I haven't been able to refute this argument. As a result I've commited to a reduced exploitative diet, with a mind to reduce it further periodically (progressively goal oriented) with time.
