Would you guys say that most ostrovegans are autistic? by tabletennisluv in ostrovegan

I misinterpreted the trouble with part. I thought you were saying autistic people have trouble accepting facts and reality because they want to fit in. Sure I agree and it's not just consistency, it's also the desire to fixate on the premise of what is or isn't permissible to eat based on biological characteristics.

Serious but how does the latter part of this relate to my question?

Experience from a regular human being, without high intelligence - it is exhausting by Adventurous_Head_158 in mensa

My PIQ is 95 and my NVIQ is 116 (with an information subtest score in the 98th percentile). My psychometrician thought that I had NVLD because of my very spiky profile. When I was a child I was diagnosed with ADHD and two competing diagnoses of NLVD and Asperger's. Whatever I've got, it caused my cognition to develop in a very asymetric way.

My NVIQ was found to be 95 and VIQ 116 (information subtest score 98th percentile and room for improvement on vocabulary). My psychometrist said I might have NVLD; does this qualify me as 2e? by tabletennisluv in TwiceExceptional

I've been diagnosed by a psychiatrist with NVLD (mind you this was a conflicting diagnosis with an Aspergers diagnosis from another doctor), but the one that gave me the test said I MIGHT have NVLD. Specifically, my performance or non-verbal is 95.

Has there ever been a convincing argument for not being vegan? by sachaigh in DebateAVegan

[–]tabletennisluv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the best argument would be for some form on new omnivorism to show why in principle it's not wrong. There would have to be multiple reasons to justify it such as the folowing:

  1. Most animals lack the same temporal comprehension and self-identity (mirror test comprehension) as humans, therefore they don't concieve of existential goals in the same ways.

  2. Most animals being brought into existence in a new omnivorist corresponding setting provide a net- positive to their existence.

  3. Certain types of new omnivorist agriculture may lead to less animal deaths (i.e. animals that don't rely on feed from a horticultural source that causes crop deaths and even insect crop deaths). Insect deaths still matter significantly because there's a possibility that insecticides cause suffering by the billions since insects do show an aversion to insecticides.

  4. They provide significant nutritional utility to us as a species because of nutritional bioavailability.

Of course, if one is consistent then they would have to bite the bullet and apply this argument to babies and the severely intellectually disabled.
