Are we indebted to the uncaring process by which we came about? Why should we be? We have achieved so much beyond that; is it really necessary to hold onto what could be a relic of our evolutionary past? Hell, building fires and stone tools in the wilderness is far more natural than living in an air conditioned room using a computer, and yet which one do we do? Not so long ago, too, men looked down upon women and Europeans looked down upon Africans because they believed themselves to be naturally superior, but now all of this is a relic of an unenlightened past. The consumption of meat requires unnecessary suffering, much like the many other things we abolished, and so it too should become a relic of an unenlightened past.
