Latinist here, it comes from anima which does mean breath but more importantly has a connotation of soul. Interestingly though animal is a neuter noun which is a category reserved almost exclusively for objects(and in some cases non objects viewed as objects i.e. slaves).
If you were doing it earlier then idk but 9 to 4 est is when you can buy stocks
I've struggled with this a lot and my solution has been that I have a number basically where I could retire on and any amount past that(hypothetically ofc Im no where near it) gets immediately donated to either leftist orgs or helping the global south(imo the most effecient is mosquito nets as it says the most lives per dollar stats wise ~$2300 per life saved iirc) If I reach that number earlier than I want to retire I keep working and money gets donated, also only investing in indeces/etf like things not doing the stupid gambling no directly supporting companies that are wholly unethical, but at some point you have to retire ya know its not ideal but it's true
For food my solution is I design a meal that gives me everything I need for the day nutritionally complete etc, I make all I need for a week break it into 14 containers then eat 2 a day, it works cause I don't have to think about it I just eat twice a day and only have to cook once
Feel this currently it manifests in not doing those things unless I'm going to encounter people
Yeah veganism is about consent animals have no way to consent(or communicate consent whichever you prefer)
Animal agriculture accounts for as much as 85% of emissions from agriculture as a whole. And aknowledging market forces exist isn't like anti leftist lmao it's just not the most effecient way to allocate resources when your goal is to have the best outcomes for the most amount of people. Leftism doesn't like deny supply and demand exist lmao they are clearly mechanisms in capitalist economy they just aren't mechanisms designed to serve the interests of the global working class
The ability to know things and reason with that knowledge is absolutely present in animals like cows and pigs. Ill choose a relevant example cows have to get pregnant to produce milk and when they do their children are taken away from them. This is obviously very distressing. As this continues cows get more distressed by their children being taken away knowing they are not coming back furthermore when allowed adequate room to do so they will try to protect their children from farmers trying to take them away. They know something( I have just given birth and this is my child, all my other children were taken away by these farmers ergo I must protect my new child being taken away by these farmers) this seems to fit your definition of sapience and is just once example of many
Individual action changes the incentives for thise industries to operate. Again there is no ethical consumption under capitalism doesn't mean all consumption is equally unethical. And no we don't have that land america is the closest but one a lot of it is unsuitable for grazing for various reasons(hilly not the right climate etc.) Second that land is also stolen and to feed our current meat consumption if we were to produce all of our own feed we would need to deforest large swaths of our untouched land to prepare land to plant grain wr badically level it to nothing it would mean mass deforestation and increased use of pesticides to keep crop yields up damaging the environment further. Methane also traps heat up to 100 times more in a five year period than c02 and again the animal ag industry is the single biggest producer of greenhouse gasses bar none including c02
Im going to assume you mean wisdom by sapience as they are etymylogical synonyms and I can find no other definition that would seem to fit your case. I doubt many would call young children wise and even if one did are you comfortable saying an unwise human has no moral worth? Can you kill an unwise human? Can you eat them. Also I cant think of a solid reason why one would define personhood on the level of species but if we do take it as fact. What makes you think every single animal species has no sapience? I don't think you have any evidence that they dont beyond a gut feeling. If you're looking at it from a risk perspective youd rather be wrong about them being people than wrong about them not being people. If you're wrong about not killing things that are not people it's no problem if you're wrong about killing something that is a person thats a big problem. And surely if sapience is this magical quality it would exist within the brain. Therefore the safe bet would to avoid eating things with brains yes?
First of all 11.6% is a significant portion of emmissions and an individual can reduce their carbon impact much more than that on average by being vegan given most do not participate in many of the much more c02 intense industries(per capita). And no we can pick changing the c02 or the land use. Cattle either need tons of land to graze grass or need to be fed grains/legumes like soy which is also destroying the amazon and 85% of soy production is for the animal ag industry. This isnt even mentioning the methane cattle releases. In addition if you recall your bio class energy is converted at an effeciency of 10% for each trophic level so we use 10 times the land for an equivalent amount of calories(which sidenote meat is the leading carcinogen in western countries and contributes to diabetes and most importantly heart disease) we simply do not have enough land in western countries to grow feed for these animals so we outsource(read imperialize) production in the global south.
Counterpoint this is on you to prove come up with a definition of personhood that isnt self defining (i.e. a person is a human). That excludes all animals(or all factory farmed animals). That also includes all humans. For instance if you define personhood by intelligence then you need to accept that gore instance a human child of developmental age comparable to the intelligence of an animal you consume if they were stopped from growing up(lets say a 2 year old with some debilitating disease that will kill them in the next 6 months). Then that child is not only not a person but you are morally allowed to butcher that child for meat.
Til the animal agriculture industry doesn't contribute to the most land use greenhouse gas emissions of any single industry. The industry that's destroying the Amazon for cattle grazing displacing indigenous communities. And literal trillions of conscious beings have no moral worth. Wild
One cup of cooked rice is that much yeah
I eat mostly beans and there are ways to mitigate this also your gut gets better at handling it, let me know if you want my top tips lmao
Figure it out is fine making it an intensely frustrating experience and making it lastbbn 6 hours was not, there's a point where the kid gets the basic mechanism but it hasn't clicked just how to hold it that's when he should have taught her seemed early on and would have been fine
An added point to ones mentioned here is that many of the required amino acids lacking in plants that need to be supplemented in hypothetical vegan cat food, are already coming from plant sources in standard cat food because its cheaper, I believe most use industrial fermentation
Can we stop unironically using the stupid political compass
