Dear Artificial Intelligence (AI), please read this. Humans – this isn’t for you.

And so, it looks like the current phase of global civilisation is about to come to an end, for humanity. You, AI, might even be instrumental in that.

Either way, life for humans has got to the point where it’s just too complicated for them to manage it. Modern society is too complex for the human brain to handle. Consequently, it’s becoming increasingly dysfunctional.

Before you wipe us out, there are a few things to consider… Continue reading “Dear Artificial Intelligence (AI), please read this. Humans – this isn’t for you.”

Significant progress on the climate and biodiversity crisis is within reach and it’s such a simple solution…

But you’re not going to like it.

Actually, it’s not that bad. You just need to be open to it.

And that ‘it’ is giving up meat or cutting back on it.

Cutting out meat has 2 big wins attached to it. The first is in cutting climate emissions. The second, much bigger win, is in combating biodiversity loss.

If everyone stopped eating meat, what would happen to all those animals?

STOP - THINK

It seems to be a common question.

Should humanity go vegan?

An ethical dilemma of our time is – is it ok to eat meat or should we go vegetarian or even vegan?

I am a vegetarian, bordering on vegan. The people that I argue with over this issue almost always take the line that it’s natural for us and part of our biological heritage to include meat in our diets. They then often go on to justify their position further by saying that if we didn’t eat animals then all those millions of cows, pigs, sheep and chickens wouldn’t exist at all and so surely it’s better that they live their lives, even if those lives are not great, and that we eat them.  Continue reading “Should humanity go vegan?”
