It's cute, and hopefully it will generate money, but it would never replace petting a real goat. I feel like this age is the answer to that college essay question, where it's proposed technology will remove the need for travel to have those experiences, and physical travel will become a thing of the past. Pick a side and defend your argument.

yes invite a goat to your meeting! It’ll be fun until this Silicon Valley company sells your trade secrets to your competitor because they have been recording all the meetings you have openly invited them to.

I still like the idea somewhat though

This is genius. Farm animal sanctuaries educate consumers about the cruelty of animal agriculture while providing a compassionate home for rescued farm animals to live out their lives. People tour the sanctuaries and meet animals that they would never otherwise meet, and learn that they're at least as interesting and lovable as the dogs and cats we would never consider eating. These nonprofit organizations are expert…

The documentaries "Our daily bread" and "Dominion" (you can watch them for free on YouTube) can persuade most people to change their mind, at least for a month.

We humans have far more senses than the 5 that are taught. Touch is one of them.

Our human brains will always respond to touch.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Touch is one of the 5 senses.

Technically GP didn't say touch wasn't one of the five.

It's like that recent commercial with Jeff Goldblum and the dog with a microphone on it.
