  • I mean, it's not AI doing this. AI doesn't have a gun to anyone's head.

  • It's not talking about music, it's talking about humans. If this chart is meaningful, it should apply regardless of fashion. Otherwise it's not talking about humans, it's talking about recent trends in music.

  • If we all ate only hunted meat, we would wipe out every land mammal on the entire planet in little more than a single day. This is not an exaggeration, it's a mathematical reality. If you want to eat meat, factory farming is not optional. But eating meat is. The more meat you eat, the younger you die, and the more major diseases you experience.

  • I see you are resistant to processing this very simple fact, but it's okay, I can break it down for you.

    There are 2.7 million tonnes of raw white-tailed deer. There are 390 million tonnes of humanity across 8.3 billion individuals. Lets generously assume every fucking gram of those deer are edible and yield about 1,500 kcal per kg. That gives humanity food for LESS THAN SIX FUCKING HOURS.

    You just wiped out every white-tailed deer. A couple hours after that, you've wiped out every deer on Earth.

    Now what the fuck do we do? Deer make up one fifth to one quarter of all wild land mammal biomass, and you just ate it in a fucking afternoon. Keep eating wild animals and there are ZERO wild animals left at the end of the next day. Do the fucking math.

    Why don't you read the original comment again and decide whether you want to respond to THAT, or if you are going to respond to the voices in your head a second time.

  • Humans and livestock make up 95% of the mammals on Earth. If we hunted all our food, we would wipe out life on Earth almost immediately.

  • Jesus doesn't offer a realistic model of compassionate love. Christians aren't really supposed to emulate Jesus. I know that's the schtick, but it's not the reality. Jesus exists to give Christians opportunities for moral self-licensing and self-stereotyping, which is the moral candy alternative to actually being a good person. He performs miracles and displays superhuman feats of equanimity (when he's not cursing figs) not because we are supposed to actually emulate him, which would be impossible, he's fucking GOD in a fake mustache, but because we are supposed to psychologically transfer his good qualities to ourselves by our association with him. That's why Jesus stops at telling you what to do, and is silent about how to do it. He knows you're not really going to do it.

    Compassionate love is hard. It's not just a matter of deciding to do it, you have to know how, and you have to practice. Other religions and creeds that preach and teach you how to practice compassionate love don't do so for abstract moral reasons. Compassionate love serves the person who practices it.

    Christianity offers people a way to feel like a good person without having to do anything, and Jesus doesn't have very much of meaning to say about compassionate love.

  • While Jesus is an authority and primary source on a number of things, He is neither of those things for compassionate love. I think in this decontextualized instance, "thy neighour" actually has a specific meaning that is being stripped, possibly referring to the other tribes of Israel, such as in his parable about the good Samaritan that people commonly misunderstand. I wouldn't be willing to draw much from it without a much deeper reading.

    I'm not making a dogmatic argument, I'm making a much more grounded claim about psychology and spirituality. Compassionate love is a real thing that we know stuff about.

  • Compassionate love does not require kindness and generosity in the way you mean those words. It does not require making yourself vulnerable to danger, it does not require giving material or emotional support. You should still be able to recognize and respond to the humanity in a flawed person.
