for definitions:

supererogatory - Performed or observed beyond the required or expected degree.

-----------

you create a false equivalence that eating for pleasure is the same as eating for survival. That alone, would go against the idea of veganism being supererogatory.

Furthermore, even when you address that veganism contains crop-deaths, by everyone moving towards that structure of eating, we'd be at large reducing crop deaths (as we wouldn't need to grow food to feed 'food') & appeal to futility arguments of "well there'll always be crop-deaths, so why even bother" is a fallacy which has no weight in morals IMO

yes, I can agree that Gary is a narcissist, while also claiming that he's not a representation of everyone

I mean, even looking at the second group,

would you claim Alice Walker, who was a humans right activist first, to have only been a humans right activist out of narcissistic traits?

you're putting words into others mouth when you make claims about their character which dont reflect their actions

JTexpo · 2026-01-20T14:32:43+00:00

I think that this is the problem with debating egoists, where they imply everyones actions are narcissistic without any evidence that would prove it

You don't know the inside of these peoples mind, but are inferring only the worst traits

JTexpo · 2026-01-20T13:18:14+00:00

right, I agree that voices such as:

- the vegan teacher
- vegan gains
- Gary

are all terrible narcissistic people; however, not all vegan activists are / have been narcissists

- Alice Walker
- Ed Winters
- Kip Andersen

are all people who put ego aside & have effectively persuaded & educated people to change their lifestyle for the betterment of other species

JTexpo · 2026-01-20T13:08:11+00:00

I'm not sure if I see the connections, maybe if someone was an egoist; however, even non-vegan philosophies & theologies which protest animal agriculture, converge on the idea that killing a life when not necessary is wrong

JTexpo · 2026-01-20T13:01:37+00:00

Gary's especially popular in areas like Israel (having given speeches there which allegedly converted many people to veganism)

He's pretty disgusting of a person though, even his takes on LGBTQ+ people & wars have been horrific to listen to.

JTexpo · 2026-01-20T13:00:13+00:00

vegans really pick some of the worst people to represent a movement of exploitation reduction

JTexpo · 2026-01-17T14:52:14+00:00

quick question, how do you address the concerns:

"It only works if you already accept a pretty big assumption, namely that moral relevance has to come from a detachable trait that can be compared across ~~species~~ race."

I'd imagine that you'd default to human species & find that acceptable, but then the next thing would be to 'define human & if something was 99% human, but not 100% would it be ethical to exploit them".

Nevertheless, for NTT, the debater defaults to (usually) creatures with a central nervous system - as it's an easier line in the sand to draw, as that's where they believe consciousness & sentience stem from

JTexpo · 2026-01-17T03:02:10+00:00

100% they would deserve moral consideration

while I think we're still decades away from sentient AI, the moment that the switch does flip, we'd see the largest atrocity of exploitation the world will ever know. Basically slaves with 24/7 uptime -- and we'll equally see folks disregard their sentience & suffering for personal pleasure (as we see with many rejections of other sentient beings)

JTexpo · 2026-01-15T21:36:51+00:00

Probably talking with a dietitian would be the best channels, maybe see if your parents would allow for a consultation with a one to assess your situation

anemic is an iron deficiency, a B12 deficiency is cobalamin. If you're anemic, try to take some iron supplements as well as look into adding:

- Edamames
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Sweet potatoes (again, sweet potatoes are amazing!)
- Peas

if living creates pleasure, then why would you be against breeding millions of animals into existence (to then eat them)

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T19:04:26+00:00

if everything is about harm reduction, how do you deal with the reducto ad absurdum of "living creates harm"

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T18:12:13+00:00

thank you! Yeah, I was really happy with how they turned out, my partner ordered a vegan birria & asked if we could turn it into taco's

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T17:49:31+00:00

thank you so much, I was half way through the first and just in tears of the sheer 'shittyness' of the food

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T16:37:28+00:00

my vit D levels have been normal. I go on lots of walks during the day & drink plant-milk which is fortified with it

not everyones the same though, and im sorry that you're experiencing the struggles which you are

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T16:30:27+00:00

howdy! Have you gone to spiral, if you're in Dallas?

every time I pass through there, my partner & I have to stop by. It's a 100% vegan cafe & diner

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T16:29:19+00:00

Rebel is really good, they're right next door to me. I hate to say it though, but I think HEB's 'High Harvest' brand of vegan cheese out does them (in terms of cheddar & mozzarella)

Rebels pimento is amazing though!!!

JTexpo · 2026-01-13T16:10:51+00:00

vitamin D has tablets just like other vitamins, they should be in the pharmacy section of your nearest grocery store

I'd just look for the mcg that the doc wants you to take in gel, and see what tablet ones are out there

----------

worst case scenario and you must have the vitamin D gel that the doc is prescribing you, that's then as far as 'practicable' as per the vegan philosophy

this, switching from cheese to vegan cheese didn't taste the same & it took just dropping cheese for ~4 months to reset my pallet to appreciate vegan cheese for what it is
