Reply to comment by Meta_Digital in Lab-grown meat could let humanity ignore a serious moral failing by phileconomicus
Oddly enough I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but I think vegan burgers are just as good. Literally what I get everytime I go to Burger King 😂. Went on a pescatarian diet for a bit in high school just to try it out but eventually quit it. The way I see it, I genuinely enjoy eating meat. It tastes good, it smells good, it's easy to source and afford (compared to alternatives). If I as an individual could do something to ease the suffering of the animals I would, but it just seems impossible in the world we live in that's driven by profit and self-interest.

Chickens, pigs, bears, and raccoons are omnivores. The very animals we eat (chickens and pigs) do the same to other species lower on the food chain. There's a balance to our ecosystem. Don't get me wrong I think there needs to be great reform in how we consume animal products so that they are treated in a right manner up to their consumption.

Reply to Absurdist Freedom Versus Ontological Freedom by Sasakii
This is an awesome post. I'm a huge fan of Sartre and Camus but I always had a hard time putting my finger on the exact difference between Camus' absurdist freedom and Sartre's existential freedoms.

I live in an area that doesn't have any good locally owned book stores. So my only option is BAM or ordering online. But I prefer to physically browse through books so BAM is my go to
