  • As far as I can tell, the report is based on the evaluation of five trained testers. So at the very least these five people, who aren’t even vegan since they had to test the beef patties, decided that they liked the vegan patties more than the beef patties.

    Five people is not a lot, sure, but it’s more convincing than your comment that it’s bullshit just because.

    And I’m not spending time understanding how it’s bullshit.

    Again, then why comment?












  • Most of the bigger telenovelas that play on Telemundo or Univision still have predominantly white casts or have central characters that are white, while darker-skinned people get pushed to secondary or side characters.

    One of the telenovelas airing right now has famous actress Angelique Boyer (best known for Rebelde and Teresa) as the main character, and she’s a French-Mexican women.







  • Selfishness is not a historical necessity of human nature, but rather one component of human nature as it exists in the current historical moment, shaped by current sociological, religious, political, and economic structures.

    Attributing selfishness as an inherent part of human nature and letting that underpin your misanthropy is wrong on two accounts:

    • You’ve taken a postion of idealism, a philosophy which has viciously been made obsolete for over 100 years.
    • You’ve expressed a problem, humanity and its selfishness, but have no solution to your problem besides an idea: hatred against humanity. A problem without a solution is useless. You’ve let your hatred make you impotent.

    I suggest you do some reading to better understand the idea of human nature.

    A favorite of mine is Elementary Principles of Philosophy.
