Go vegan. You will no longer be apart of horrific animal abuse, the leading cause of biodiversity loss and deforestation, and if done correctly, will likely improve your health. Yo…

While we have limited time on Earth, our capacity for what could be seems limitless. What is a feasible project or company you would pursue if you had more time?

The birds are dying anyway. So instead of their bodies being used for profit to continue the industry, they will die with hopefully little to no government bailouts, forcing farmer…

As an animal rights activist, this will do wonders for the movement. As chicken farms become unprofitable due to all the birds dying, prices will go up. This gives people like me a…

Curious what projects you use rust on for crypto?

I love the idea of computational experiments that replace testing on animals. Reading about what we do to animals in the name of science is heart breaking, but learning there are c…

Came here to say this. Money is a tool to make the world a better place. He could be funding schools, scholarships, research projects, new start ups, and so much more. This is what…

As a vegan of four and a half year, I can confidently say being vegan is not similar to killing oneself.

I completely agree with you. HN is very anti-vegan, so mentioning not eating meat always comes with a torrent of downvotes. I imagine any self-sustainable colony would not have mea…

Including those that work directly on cultivated meat? There are literally companies out there selling cultivated meat right now. Regressive countries like Italy and conservative s…

I like thinking about space colonization. Whether it be a the first colony on Mars or a robust space station orbiting Jupiter, what do you think their food is like? Do you think th…

Funny enough, I mentioned not eating meat on another hackernews thread today and someone told me I'm going to get an autoimmune disease.

Processed red meat is a class one carcinogen and red meat is a class two. Smoking is a class one. What this means is there is a direct, provable correlation to consuming these prod…

I know they are trying to be practical with "reduce meat intake" and "drink less", but meat and alcohol is on par with smoking and they say "don't smoke". I hope we get to a point …

I highly recommend Ultralearning [1]. It does not talk about hours required to learn something, but how to define your goal, plan out the study, and then immerse yourself into the …

Look up Blue Zone groups. Researchers study groups of people that live the longest and how they live. Of course diet and exercise is a big component, but a reason to live is anothe…

I started writing about animal ethics at the end of last year. This is mostly a clearing house for my thoughts, but I have found some people enjoy reading it. https://joshbaldwin.s…

What does being male or female matter? It is about adding to suffering in the world instead of removing suffering.

Imagine it being 2023 and you are asking for more animals to torture. We should be demanding advancements in computational chemistry and biology, in vitro methods, and synthetic bi…

Do whatever you are interested in. You want to help students or animals or prison reform groups, etc. Find organizations, look at their volunteer needs or email them. Then get to w…

And this is why if one are interested in huma rights then one should work for prisoners rights. They are the most vulnerable humans to get shit on. If we can treat our criminals wi…

You are living in a dream world. Those animals exist for research and profit. Why would anyone walk them? Complete waste of time, and not to mention potentially damaging the resear…

That is how slaughterhouses work, at least in the US. Poor migrate workers get to work on the killing floor for low wages and dangerous work. Keeps it out of sight and minds of the…

Careful, one false step and your behavior will align with your morals.
