This is exhausting.

solarpunk-aesthetic:

Over the past few days, I’ve had a post about how humans are generous by nature get a reply that “the promise of utopia is exactly what justifies mass homicide.” I’ve had a post about how science can help improve the world get me told that people like me “don’t know shit about what they eat or where it comes from.” 

Nasty comments and talk of atrocities? Why are people like this? Why do things like these even cross people’s minds? I’m starting to wonder whether I’m wrong about humanity after all.

I made this blog as a reason to be optimistic. But the commentary over the past few days has been really depressing, and that’s not what I’m here for.

I’m taking a break.

I’m glad you’re back. I don’t even remotely know how solarpunk creates disastrous imagery; but I also get my fair share of regressive hatred. You fight hatred with aggressive kindness. Do not show weakness or remorse, whenever it comes to loving humanity and supporting everyone.

Since robots can’t eat, what do you think their view on carnism would be? What would they think about veganism?

I never thought to put myself in their position on this matter! I feel like it’s based on how their socialized obviously. I feel like they would show preferential treatment to sentient and semi-sentient animals; much like humans do with cats, dogs, dolphins, parrots and various octopi. However would that favoritism extend to other animals? I’m not entirely sure. They would hopefully understand human necessity for food, and probably support the synthetically grown meat industry: if they know about it. And if we put AI in a synthetically grown organic body, they would also require nutrients, and develop they’re own preferences. Honestly, this was an eye-opening ask!
