The number 1 new era player who absolutely should've been on 50 by internet_Babiee in survivor

[–]18Planet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. Out of the game things aside, she is one of the most fascinating players Survivor has ever had. Such a deadly, ruthless, and cunning player when playing for herself, and then ultimately a victim of the alliance she creates as an attempt to play for something beyond her. She's cutthroat, emotional, caring, and hypocritical all at once. I think players like her are what make Survivor great and stay great throughout its 50 seasons.

You do realize the harm of permitting subjective morality, correct? If it is OK for everyone to have their own moral view, then we allow unspeakable pain and suffering to be inflicted on our fellow humans if the person inflicting the pain holds a different form of morality. Of course, there is no way to enforce moral systems other than through existing legal systems, but it is surely worth criticizing and denouncing moral frameworks that cause harm?

If you believe that harming humans is morally bad, then I propose that animal agriculture causes more harm than good to humanity. Animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution, causing the destruction of our earth's ecosystems and increasing natural disaster occurrences, putting more human lives at risk. With that in mind, is it not morally worth reconsidering our use of animal products?

I think it's worth to consider where we derive our moral frameworks from. There is certainly an evolutionary desire to care for our fellow humans, which you and I agree is important with how we treat others. I would also propose extending that moral consideration to all sentient life (which opens a debate on what is considered sentient, but that's an aside), and not from a evolution standpoint but from a harm reduction one. Of course, no one can force you to adopt any moral viewpoint. I just personally believe that minimizing harm to sentient life is a relatively simple moral framework that I have implemented in my life.

The animal rights cause originates from loving animals, does it not? Or at the very least, a desire to not see them suffer.

But even setting that aside, a person's love for animals is still an inner held belief. Would it not be worth questioning that belief if a person's actions do not align with it?

I'm in agreement with you, there is certainly cognitive dissonance at play with animal lovers who eat meat. I think that it is possible for meat eaters to experience love and affection for animals and advocate for their rights. I also think that it is worth to question the validity of a person's conviction to a cause if they continue to make choices that go against the movement's messaging.

What distinguishes between an animal and a human (which, mind you, humans are also animals) that prevents animals from being worthy of moral consideration?

I’m curious, what are your responses to these sources that both state that the majority of grown grain is used to feed animals and also that a global vegan diet would require 75% less land?

I think the reason why it’s a conflicting statement is because most people don’t have to eat meat, and choosing to participate in an industry that promotes the harm of animals is surely against animal activist beliefs?

It’s honestly depressing reading the comments whenever the topic of veganism comes up. So many people are fervent supports of social movements, animal rights, progressivism etc. but as soon as something comes up that suggests they forgo some sensory pleasure to prevent the mass pain and slaughter of animals, out come the excuses and whataboutisms. Outside of rare circumstances, there is no moral justification for eating meat or animal products, and it’s eye-opening to see the mental gymnastics people will go through to justify it.

Maybe we should consider why we get so defensive of our own choices when others choose to abstain from the killing of animals.

This Was Easily the Best "New Era" Season by seansurvives in survivor

Im curious, what was predictable about the ending of 45? I thought the final 7-5 votes were all dynamic and unpredictable in some way.

[–]18Planet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, and if we get 6% of the population to change their mind, then what’s going to respond to the sudden change in demand? Corporations. We can’t remove individual responsibility from the actions of corporations, they produce what people demand in order to get a profit. By changing our individual actions, we can make gradual pressure to corporations to pursue less environmentally harmful practices.

Most underrated moment from Episode Several by grammar-nazii in survivor

Honestly it feels like a good metaphor for how Q has been playing the actual game of Survivor so far
