i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

I can only think of one that does: utilitarianism. it’s frought with epistemic problems not to mention it can be summed up “the ends justify the means” which most people think is itself unethical.

if you grant plants sentience, veganism is still the more ethical option.

… for ethical systems in which sentience is a consideration.

that doesn’t show that cutting out meat for my diet would have any impact at all. You’re just talking about impacts the industry has. I already understand the industry has impacts. I’m saying that my diet doesn’t change that.

peertube has everyone currently watching a video join the swarm. you just don’t seem to understand why we keep raising peertube and torrenting in the same sentence

all four of those are just rehashing the poore nemecek paper and editorializing without the rigor of peer review. they are extrapolating far beyond the scope of the actual article and drawing conclusions that are not justified in teh paper itself.

I’ve looked and I don’t find the facts support the claim above, but maybe there are facts I haven’t found

yes, but I am also highly skeptical, so you’d need proof, not rhetoric.

your snide condescension isn’t persuasive

first, i am suspicious of those numbers, and don’t think they tell teh whole story.

even if they did, cutting out meat from my diet would have no impact at all.

i don’t think you understand how the torrenting works or why i raised it as a solution to the storage/bandwidth problem.

Cutting out meat is already making an intense impact

i doubt it.

peertube uses torrents

calling west “dumb” or “dumber” belies your own ignorance. he’s an ivy league educated prodigy.

I have a dream of engineering a drone to hover while it engages an rf jammer for some set amount of time.

don’t do genocide

this is just an adhominem

saying it doesn’t make it so.

I never thought Donald Trump could beat Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and jeb bush. but here we are.

who do you educate? those people will be genocided.

who do you give birth control to? those people will be genocided.

there is no policy you can create and implement that will not disproportionately effect one group over another.

it’s all genocide.

If he loses I’m in deep shit l, because I am trans.

unless he loses… to cornel west.
