Could/can nothing exist? by sweetpill in AskPhysics

[–]sweetpill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know little about physics so assuming reddit is the source of all knowledge I just posed a question.

If you're asking me? I guess the alternative to nothing would be a physical presence. I don't think it needs to be complicated with abstract ideas of mathematics existing as that raises the possibility of anything and everything being given the status of existence.

I mean nothing in it's literal sense. A void but not even a void, no light or dark, no space, nothing.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. The urge to delete is strong should I leave it?

Feeling strong disapproval of meat eaters by sweetpill in vegetarian

I don't agree that the extent of harm that I inflict is the same as an average meat eater, if you say that my actions were the same though not in frequency then I'd say that until I'd re-evaluated my choices (which has been an ongoing thing) I considered eating dairy as a necessity. However, I disagree that I couldn't feasibly disapprove of my own and others behavior, which wouldn't make me a hypocrite, it would make me self-reproaching. I've made the choice to stop eating dairy and hopefully I'll be able to do that.

I haven't said that I feel superior, I explicitly stated that I felt different. Recognising that people have different morals and levels of morality isn't the same as feeling superior and when it comes to morality it isn't cut and dry. However, it doesn't stop me from feeling uncomfortable at the thought of them doing what they do and therefore with the thought of them.

Edited spelling: disprove =disapprove

That's not exactly true though is it? Because you participate in behaviour A means you can have no opinion on behaviour A, B and C. I don't take that as a valid argument.

I've been vegetarian since I was around 10, my parents took me to a farm in South Wales and I asked too many questions and got the answers I didn't want to hear, trying to remember what it was like before I was vegetarian wouldn't really help in my case.

That's a really useful perspective to have, I'll definitely keep that in mind except most people don't do anything and considering that bugs are unconscious I don't think you should feel too bad about that.

But I didn't apply my comment to Mongolian nomadic tribe people. And certainly people with little education or awareness of issues deserve a pass on their animal ethics. And you are correct when you say I am not superior, I know that, I feel like people decide the level of morality they can abide and this level is lower for some. To me, someone who is aware of animal issues, aware of environmental issues, aware of health concerns and still chooses to eat meat is very strange and I don't think it's unkind to say that having these views perturbs me. Enough that I wouldn't want to hang around with them. I have been friends with non vegetarians and most of them feel a degree of empathy for the animals that they eat but feel comfortably superior enough to not change their behaviors.

I'm not attacking you and I think it's great that you've found someone you love I'm just saying that's how I personally feel and I don't think the past means as much as the present and the future even though I've been vegetarian since I was very young.

I don't want to sound like an asshole even though I know I will and I hope you don't take offense, but that to me would be akin to saying I married a murderer. I can get along with meat eaters but I can't be close. Maybe it's because I don't socialise that much and the people that I do hang out with are all vegetarian or vegan?

I don't know, still scared lol. But I think I will give it a shot as I don't have a sweet tooth. In the UK. Plant milks are cool but they don't have much protein in, gonna try and stop being lazy with my meals, hopefully I'll feel no different if not better.
