If horseshoe crabs were to become less economically important, is that a good thing for horseshoe crabs? They ain't exactly Pandas, so will little Sally and Bobby care if horseshoe crabs become endangered? They're already in a precarious situation...
Horseshoe crabs have been existing for almost half a billion years, I would genuinely be sad if we endanger them to critical levels
Climate Change is warming the waters they spawn their eggs in. They're becoming endangered from that. Not because of a few we harvest blood from.
I didn't say that harvesting blood is the one thing endangering them, did I. Just that it would be a shame to see them go
That's the topic of this thread and even if you didn't say blood harvesting was endangering them, most people are already going to be thinking that's what you're implying.
That's a fair assumption to make, true.
Idk, I'm just someone who says things exactly the way I think 'em. I don't intend for a deeper meaning to be interpreted, but people are going to do that, because that's just how people are. So again, fair.
r u special?
Wow, you seem like a lovely person.
But the blood harvesting helps. Huh. Never thought I'd use the word "blood harvest" today, or ever really.
I think living to have your fluids harvested in factory farms is a worse outcome than going extinct.
Personally speaking, the fluid in question and method of harvest would determine how much I'd rather be dead.
if things got to brain in a jar levels and I am complacently accepting of the fake reality, then I might just live a long life
You can not prove your brain isn't already in a jar being fed signals to simulate reality.
If you are any part of nature and also economically important, you get barbarically exploited until you go extinct. If you are not, you will be bulldozed to make room for the former. Capitalism is the best system of morality humans have ever, and will ever, come up with, and I truly cherish the utopia it has brought upon civilization.
Capitalism isn't a system of morality. Or at least it isn't supposed to be.
The fact that people think more money = moral is one of the largest problems in the world right now.
I'm pretty sure it was sarcastic.
all hail the paper which ruins literally every single fucking thing. the paper has spoken.
I chose to express it like that by design. My contention is that capitalism is, in fact, or at the very least de facto, a system of morality. It promotes wealth as an indicator of higher moral stature. It has superseded rule of democracy, as wealth has been assigned itself as a metric by which the efficacy of individual civil participation is measured and the path of society determined.
In other words, money equals power, and possessing money/power is indicative of a higher moral. Echoes of medieval times...
Cows and chickens are doing pretty well in terms of raw numbers.
