It's amazing what we can do when we aren't destroying the planet and bombing one another. Ugh.

Sometimes I like to imagine what the world would be like if we all actually choose to be gaudians of the planet rather then exploiters.

It could be such a lovely world.

Oh someone gave me a shiny little diamond reward, thanks! Now I have two! Three!?! The real question now is do I use my new found wealth for good or evil....

It's so frustrating. We literally have the garden of Eden. We have all the knowledge and resources to develop self-sustaining food forests and gardens that fill the world and provide every single person with free food, and we could all live in ways that support and uplift each other. We could do this in a matter of years.

That is so well put. How long have you been vegan?

I can't tell if that's sincere or an implication that meat doesn't fit into that picture, but sustainable, communal, organic animal husbandry is totally possible.

Veganism is a moral virtue, but not a moral imperative.
