this is a problem for a LOT of public intellectuals/academics.

vegans were specist towards plants

they are. they've identified a whole group of species and decided to treat them differently.

automate her job. build a script that can do the job, and train her boss to use it. now she's redundant.

your right against self incrimination includes a right to be silent. it's not separate: it's inclusive

You don't have to invoke the fifth amendment in order to not speak with police

courts have found that simply being silent can be a confession. you must explicitly state you are exercising your right to be silent.

that’s not even how it works now

that's never how it has worked. the statute of anne was written to stop 17th century london printers from breaking each others' knees over who is allowed to publish long-dead shakespeare's plays.

devoid of context, your phrasing might be fine. in this context, precision is important for us to focus on the actual issue.

That’s funny, notice I never said artificial insemination was rape. I guess that’s something you assumed given that it is very comparable to rape

this is the height of intellectual dishonesty. i will accept an apology, but i will not continue without one.

your attempts to defend dairy farming and to argue that causing needless suffering to animals isn’t cruel or unethical.

i'm saying that your bar for necessity is not objective. it's subjective.

Kicking a dog when you don’t need to is unethical.

but we're not talking about kicking dogs. we're talking about producing food.
