Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.
Timely. An issue/topic I am constantly working to clarify in my own head.
I've even been both vegan and vegetarian, at various times in my life. I often noticed the internal red flags raised by my "BS detector" when the typified condescension and obfuscation would start. More accurately, I could tell that some things were not consistent and/or logical.
Lucid video. Lays it all out there in ways I had not exactly considered before.
Would love to talk about this in person sometime, man. You're going to Anarchapulco this year, right? I am trying to get down there to speak on unschooling. I guess they are reviewing...me?....right now.I'm not holding my breath. But would be fucking rad.
Would be great to rant about the hypocrisy and gray areas in person.
If you that that was brilliant, you should watch this rebuttal.
I never thought I'd say this, but Larken gets taught a lesson in philosophy here.
Larken is using semantic jiujitsu and sophistry, all while avoiding the core philosophy of veganism (freedom for sentient beings. Wait a minute, that sounds like....anarchy) and never actually stating whether or not he thinks it is morally justified to kill animals for taste pleasure.
Excellent response! I love Larken but even he can't grasp it all, can he? I feel sorry for his bad fail on this one because I'm pretty sure he'll get there sooner or later and will understand the issue the depth.
