Comments by "Deus Ex Homeboy" (@DeusExHomeboy) on "Russell Simmons: How Meditation Can Lead to a Vegan Diet | Big Think" video.

  1. Look at the general human posting defensive comments to make a statement to others proving their failure to re-assess their life choices. Too bad school didn't teach you about your logical fallacies, and too bad you never bothered learning after school. Continue sticking to what mamma and dadda, and the rest of your herd told you to eat when you were a little baby because changing against the fad is too much work. Lel.

  2. It's like telling people who use slaves, what using slaves does to the slave and the slaver, as well as the society as a whole. Then the slavers come here and post their 'so what if you don't like it, I have enough humans doing the same shit as me for me to use them as an excuse to continue and I ain't gonna change'. Lel 'For every slave you free, I'm gonna get 3 more slaves'. LEL Suffer your sub human decisions, resulting in your sub human existence. At least you're not a lonely sub human and have plenty of other sub humans to support you, so you really don't have to admit to anything, you can die in denial.

  3. atreyu119 Sheesh, guess you really want the D.  Premise: You humans, and the animals you humans eat, both possess the ability to experience reality subjectively, Which exists because of the Brain, and the central nervous system. WHICH IS SHARED. The Traits that Species share, are in almost all cases, traits that develop at a stage where the trait sharing species were one. The times where this is Not The case, like bats evolving wings after separating from aves(birds), the traits STILL PERFORM THE SAME FUNCTION. Plants, all plants, and any other form of life, is DEVOID OF THIS TRAIT OF SENTIENCE. Sentience is the PREMISES OF MORAL CONSIDERATION. NON-SENTIENT things do not. The only difference, is the presence of an organ which Functions to provide the organism with sentience. Conclusion: If you eat a cow, pig, horse, dog, etc, using whatever excuse you do, you should have no problem eating humans, dolphins, etc. Because in the end, The cow will suffer, as will the dog, the human, just like anything with a Functioning Brain, no two humans suffer the same, so the excuse of it being different is worthless. This is Scientific FACT. People's Personal opinion or cultural preference can go eat shit and die. Such people reek of self preserving hypocrisy and double standards. This is also scientific fact. Therefore, Not necessarily go vegan, but just Stop being a disease upon the system of life which all are just a part of. Milk can be retrieved without making the cow suffer, or wool, from a goat for example.

  4. atreyu119 Lol, I don't think we can have this argument over the internet, you can just get away with statements like  "incorrect premise- a lot of animals have only a simple CNS which basically act like wires that send signals)" TOO OFTEN. - this is your assumption. You are also just 'sending signals' around your body, lol. That equates you as worthy of being eaten, as well. You use simple organisms, and name NOT A SINGLE ONE, And still make a blatant claim on your favor, sheeshhhh. Even cockroaches show observable efforts to avoid harm and negative environments in general. You fail to realise that SENTIENCE began with the primitive brain, and NOT with your ape brain. K. Digest that. Go fact check yourself once in a while.  Childish thoughts can do harm to adults, you know. --------------------------- "and since plants are not sentient (premise)"--- Wrong. This is not a premise. It is scientific fact. Not a single plant possesses sentience, as the primordial brain originated AFTER SPLITTING OFF WITH THE PLANTS.  Also, don't use my caps or insulting terms towards you as excuses to overlook facts. It does you harm, and not me. You are the one who risks continuing a stupider way of thinking and behaving and the future will laugh at you for that. The future is gonna be a longgggg time, too. I'll continue your final paragraph in the next one.

  5. atreyu119 "Why are you making an argument for not eating meat altogether when it's the industry that's the problem? Like I said before, what do you think about hunting? It not only provides a good source of protein, but it is also heavily regulated and actually helps to maintain the population of certain species. It's a win/win situation. Also, feel free to critique my argument, as I'm sure it's not perfect."  _ The argument isn't perfect, not just that, it is flawed entirely, and is full of double standards. Beans, tofu, soy, almonds, etc, provide more protein than 'hunting for protein'. They are also void of murder. Here's a question for you. If I go into New York Times Square, and 'Hunted' some humans with my humane bow for my winter meat, because they are most like me and will have the MOST NUTRIENTS THAT I NEED, literally, it is ANY DIFFERENT than hunting a rabbit or Moose? If so, Why?  There's one for you. Next-  You reduce other animals to protein and whatnot. You fail to realise that there are certain humans who are born LESS SENTIENT THAN the Animals YOU EAT. Would you be more comfortable with slaughtering and eating them? You'd actually be saving them from their miserable lives by proxy as well. :D You need to try and refute this statement - There is no difference between killing a pig for meat, or killing a human. - Once you go through all the factual potentials of a good reason to continue, then please, do as you please. You live in a world where your behavior will be overlooked and nobody will bother changing it for you, so be wary, lel.

  6. Another question- Say, Hypothetically, EVEN IF non meat food had only 50% protein of meat (which it doesn't, it is often more), would you still be ok with killing animals after admitting their sentience, often Equal to humans AND often ABOVE HUMANS? :D --- Please try refuting this scientifically. :*  I want to see if I have more to add.

  7. atreyu119 "Do you feel empathy when you step on a cockroach? I'm sorry if it seems cold hearted to you but I don't. (That doesn't mean I go around stepping on cockroaches for fun, let's get that clear)." -- Few things here-  1- You are Using extreme and absurd examples, such as trampling a cockroach out of no conscious choice of my own while I walk through somewhere. Using THIS to equate it with YOU knowingly paying for the rape, torture, slaughter, life enslavement of Thousands of sentient beings over your sad life, all for PERSONAL FULFILLMENT. You don't do it to survive, you do it because you enjoy it and because your herd enjoys it. It makes you feel whatever you are so desperate for. Simple. I don't trample cockroaches to eat them for personal enjoyment. It gets trampled by MISTAKE. YOU GET IT, IT'S A FUCKING ACCIDENT LOL, Unlike your ACTIVE CHOICE TO PARTICIPATE IN RAPE, MURDER, SLAVERY, etc LOLOLO.  (Also, don't be a bigger idiot by using my CAPS LOCK as a strawman excuse to overlook all the intellectual smashing you're receiving. It's good for you if you improve your mentality.) 2- "My empathy for an animal is directly related to it's level of intelligence." - Really full of yourself, yes.   "I will determine that the main trait of my specie is the trait for considering the life of ALL sentient species, out of no scientific basis or moral argument. I will just assume it because it helps me overlook all the murder and rape that I am a part of, so it's better I continue like this avoiding shame and die pretending." 3- You're another fucking idiot, like most of your herd, and here's why- You don't realise that machines are also intelligent. Even more intelligent than YOU, in thousands of ways. Even more than a child in your family(or a really senile person), who isn't even smarter than an average pig, LOL. YOU EAT PIGS, who are Smarter than INFANT HUMAN BEINGS. Therefore, by your own twisted logic, YOU EAT SOMETHING SMARTER THAN A YOUNG HUMAN, and something that tastes eerily similar. Go and contemplate your shit ridden life, you might have some time to make reparations and change your pitiful stone age mentality.

  8. atreyu119 Didn't read your "final reply". It had some shit about 'hunting being ecologically advantageous" LOL, and some other shit which I didn't bother with, because you're mostly writing to convince yourself and make your delusions stronger by chanting the same shit over and over again. Lel

  9. Avast Actually, every human who can access the internet (like yourself), has no need of killing an animal or making it suffer in anyway to continue your own life. This makes you self-absorbed fantasy believing ape. You are clearly bunching yourself up with the tribal people who will die without meat, and acting like their reasons work as your excuse. How filthy.
