This applies to humans too, and not just in the context of eating meat.

Author telling on himself here
There's this one guy that used to be a regular of tech events where I live. He was building some sort of crappy luma clone.
Anyway, one day out of nowhere he posts on LinkedIn "PSA to girls, when at a conference, we are not reading your name tag, we are looking at your breasts[1]", and then some bizarre argumentation of how if we all used his app this would stop.
He was trying to sound like an "ally". I'm not a girl and it even made me feel uncomfortable, yikes.
1: He used that exact word, mega cringe.

Everything has an end. Only the sausage has two.

2) Carnivores do not have a choice of food, humans have great alternatives, being omnivores not carnivores.

I like this. I’ll take it a step further:
curiosity plus follow-through is a superpower. Lots of people I know are curious… they just never really follow through on it, so they end up average, wasting that superpower. They’re curious in their head, but it stays in their head.
I’m thinking about curiosity in a work sense (“could I build a better widget?”) and in a personal interest sense (“I wonder if taking a dance class / volunteering at a soup kitchen would be fulfilling”).
I’ve learned that the people who tend to excel are the ones who follow that curiosity to completion for something.

> One day – probably somewhere between 28 and 38 – you'll wake up and just feel 'off'. A bit sore. A bit tired. That feeling will never leave you. Be grateful for your youth while you have it. This happened when I was 20. I don't know what else to say other than, it fucking sucks.
Congrats, you're half way there to publish your first self-help book!
