As if thats not bad enough, someone wrote an entire book that contains the exact date and manner of my death and put it in the library of babel.

I didn’t expect the spanish inquisition!

Ah yes, better known as the perky tit round these parts

I’m not arguing that ethics boards cant be overly stringent. But there’s a reason we have them in the first place and that still doesn’t make it alright to start conducting unauthorised experiments on people.

Even if it turned out OK in this case, and we still can’t say that it definitely did, the next person who trys to pull a stunt like this might not be so lucky, qualified, or knowledgable.

What’s the alternative here?

“Speed limits are holding me back from getting from a to B in as little time as possible” yeah, and they reduce the likelihood of injuring/killing a people in the process.

Um, is Esther OK? Hes looking a little baked

And terrain mapping flights. Thousands of scientific, geologic, and geographic flights take place around the world on a weekly basis.

Yup! After all, everyone knows that trees make coal while dinosaurs make oil!

Leave them be, everyone goes through an experimental phase. They’re just working themselves out. Give them time.

Because people like to express themselves. Were social creatures. You’d might as well ask why hats or different coloured fishing rods are part of this fishing game.

Good work ethic is when you spend every waking moment working instead of spending time with your family, yourself, your pets, your friends, doing self care, cooking for yourself and/or family.

Sounds like a jolly old life that doesn’t it? Sure would love to do that every day until I die.

It only took a couple billion monkeys a few million years but one did eventually write out the full works of Shakespeare

Because you mentioned killing off entire hives because they’re sick, I was wondering about what a vegans ethical stance on culling would be and what, if any, situations culls might be acceptable from a vegans perspective.

For example, the beehive which has been infected. Bees don’t understand virology or social isolation or even the concept of “passing it on”. What do you do when a hive of infected bees breaks up and starts infecting other hives? Desieses can be devastating to local domesticated and wild swarms if left unchecked. Would a cull be acceptable in this situation to prevent more death and suffering?

How about in areas where humans have already tinkered with the food chain and wiped out all other apex predators? In some places, controlled culling of heards of deer is necessary to prevent them from overfeeding and wiping out other species further down the food chain and eventually themselves?

As I understand, most vegans would prefer the natural solutions such as reintroducing apex predators but that’s not always possible. Likewise, I don’t think most vegans would advocate for a dawinist solution to infected beehives.

I’m purely asking this from a point of genuine interest and not out of any desire to be proven right or wrong so please don’t take this as any attempt at point scoring.

She lived almost 3 times the average life expectancy for her species!?! That’s genuinely insane! Imagine a human living to 180 years old!

What?

I can’t spot sadam Hussein in this one honestly. Must be hidden real good!

Drone racing applies particularly here!
