As it is World Vegan Day (and also Cake Appreciation Day, Play a game of chess day, and Nutty Pecan day, to give you some idea of it’s importance) and this is a thread about the environment, celebrate by eating spicey hummous and reading some of this;

i’d say mother nature is more powerful than we imagine…we are doing horrible damage to this place, but the self-healing systems this planet has are absolutely astounding. nuclear poisoning can wreck havoc among her systems, remember that 200,000-1,000,000 years is but one tiny toot in a journey of 1000 farts.

in either case, we must recognize that we are so small, such a tiny miniscule portion of this planet’s history. we are also tiny, though unique, in terms of the other species who are forced to share this place with us.

this is really interesting. it’s unfortunate that (as it stands) for earth to survive ,(seemingly), is to kill us off. i think we’re just too far gone… can i please see a show of hands just so i know i’m not insane?

ahh i see. that’s interesting. i don’t really believe in imposing my beliefs on any others, but i do believe in people who share similar beliefs getting together and organizing. so i guess western foreign policy can be seen as imposing universal moralities upon other peoples. oh yeah. backed up with bombs.

well, i dont think that its so much a binary thought proccess as a condition that we have developed from being exposed to the modern project for generations, but basically, I would say that a binary thought proccess is our method of deducing an affirmative point or answer by acknowledging that point or answer only as the opposite of its other… its only other. (if theres spelling mistakes its cos i am half pissed) and in this way I feel that we can set our postion within an agenda of a universal morality [ie we ascribe our sense of justice to the other's society or culture by positing that all people agree that killing is wrong by mere virtue of its being 'human nature', and its being human nature means that this sense of justice crosses all gender, cultural and social boundaries, therefore we say that it is universally understood that it is wrong to kill or punish rapists and not raped and so on]. so yeah, i think that it is totally normal for westerners to marginalise the infinite points of view of any topic of discussion so we can ascribe a positive status to one point (our point)and a negative to the other.

that might all be incoherent sorry
