Similar position. I also realize how lucky I've been in life in comparison to the less fortunate.

Besides urging companies to stop this practice, stop eating fish.

OP unironically linked an article referring to a 50k donation in 2004 to a physics department to show that the Stanford Cyber Policy center somehow is not out for wellbeing of kids? Imagine being this delusional.

Rereading the chain I see misread the original comments, my bad.

Lazy and self-aware enough to know that there is not much i can or will do to improve the morality of meat consumption.

You can stop eating meat? That seems to be a fix that puts you squarely into better moral territory. Unless you think the killing, torturous treatment and rape is moral. It's your choice whether you want to do something, but it I object to the word can here.

In general, just having conscience as a guiding ethical compass leaves you open to many logical inconsistencies. Would you agree?

I respect the self-reflection in this comment. Sadly, I also feel a small need to ask you to think about ethics and morality slightly deeper. Imagine if your predecessors made similar comments about [insert moral failing of history]. How would you think about that?

I think most of us try to be good people, but it's really hard to do the right thing if you never think about what is right and why (and yes, sometimes that includes not being lazy).

Although your general sentiment is right, even adult life expectancy has gone up dramatically. For instance, for 20 year olds' life expectancy was about 60 in 1850, but now is around 82.

Cool list! I'll take a look at your list when deciding what to see next, as I generally agree with the titles I recognize.

I wish I had kept such a list over the years, it would be fun to look back to.

Man, I hope Jerboa supports these spoiler tags soon.

This is ridiculously cool.

Not sure if the privacy settings would allow such a thing, but would a recommended feature based on your account be a possibility for the future?

Wonder why he hasn't responded yet. Maybe another person that is defending animal abuse without ever thinking about what goes on behind closed doors?
