Downvotes were clear enough that it was off-topic.

People downvote you but there's definitely some truth there to find. Thing about these projects is long-term gain. Maybe these toilets will pay off in 20-30 years, they have to, if…

That's first world country mentality. Energy footprint of an average African is minuscule. They probably use and reuse quite a lot of stuff, efficiently without disposing it and re…

It wasn't meant as a counter-argument, just filling in a stance and expanding on it. I do it sometimes, I apologize if it confused, probably should have replied to myself.

To put "humane" slaughter in a good perspective. "My life experience has given me a better understanding of what is happening, and what a mistake it is to believe there is anything…

As I've stated in my comment there are more than enough examples where that definition of species is lacking - it's not a line/plane/SVM-hyperplane. Evolution is gradual, there are…

Yeah, I'm adding paragraphs because I'm trying to anticipate the arguments people put forth to rationalize appeal to nature - and draw their moral (rational) conclusions from it. E…

Same way humans were differentiated by using races - ranking us lower/higher better/worse than others, that's what people do with species. If you find the theory of evolution a fac…

Exactly, these laws and actions are failed (or maybe successful) attempts at trying to rationalize immoral behaviour. They convince themselves - believing they are kind and compass…

> Especially eating it, which is in the natural order of things. Yeah, those claws that you use to hunt your food down are pretty natural. Appeal to nature is an argument flaw and …

Human is a label we gave to ourselves. Would you discriminate over homo erectus, homo habilis - would you call them non-human animals, would it be okay to use them for medical test…

Well, in 2025 it will be exactly at the computational capability of a brain.

Yeah, and sentience is a completely made up human thing by which we differentiate betweem ourselves and other non-human animals. What people want to see is artificial general intel…

I believe it is called problem solving, not math. Mathematics is a framework for problem solving which requires problem solving skills and knowledge of mathematics. I believe anyon…

This game is the perfect tool for testing your problem solving skills. It puts you in a new framework and tests your cognition. Portal, The Talos Principle, all have the same goal.…

Looks closer to support vector machine and its regression capabilities. Although, linear regression, logistic regression, svm regression, are all almost the same thing, the loss fu…

But we are doing a brand new diet. About 2000-10000 years ago human diet consisted of around 80% animal flesh.

I never mentioned dairy. You mentioned a half-assed parallel, and it is, and I pointed out every single bit that stinks in it, I do not give a damn about slaughter. I wasn't sure i…

Oh, so you are talking about change of the species without evolution?

1000 years isn't long enough for evolution.

Honeydew isn't tit secretion, it's vomit/shit. And how can a symbiosis of ants and aphids be a parallel for humans and cows. We do not protect cows from their predators, we slit th…

Our ancestors at one point in time had a diet consisting 60-80% of animal flesh. Do you think that this is what nature solved? I mean, technology has given us a way to rise above t…

If one wants to embark on a moral argument present in the theory of evolution, where no organism is more special than the other, then you'd probably avoid consumption of food comin…

Yep, since November 2014 all of the versions of Soylent are vegan. So, we'll see how that turns out. It would be really interesting if some results are reported.
