Is this a coincidence or intentional? Pythagoras was a notable proto-vegan:
As long as Man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.
“There are men and gods, and beings like Pythagoras.”
Yep sounds vegan to me
Cult.
I always found this such a demented take, because like why are they so tilted by the idea of NOT eating meat? Do they truly believe that it’s ethically defensible, or are they actually relishing the idea of participating in increasing the net suffering in the world?
They have their ego invested in the idea. They can’t defend it logically, but everyone knows they are a good person, so their conclusion is it’s stupid because if it’s not stupid then they are less than a good person…
The correct quote from Maddox is “for every animal you don’t eat, I’ll eat two”
(1x2)+0=2
If he is eating twice as much meat than before then the total meat consumption has doubled.
“Im gonna eat twice the animals YOU do”, not “… twice the animals I used to”
Oh that’s right! My bad. I was pretty tired when I wrote this 😅
They think picking a random sample means it must be equal to the average.
Or maybe my brain skipped over the “YOU” part
I am referring to the person in the meme not you
So, they’ll prolly die of congestive heart failure 20 years earlier, meaning… 80 years of meat consumption minus 20 years of life = 120 years of lifetime consumption at a 2x meat consumption rate… If both you and they’d eaten an omnivore diet and lived to 80 that’d be 160 years of cumulative consumption so we’re still ahead.
I hope their principals make up for their significantly reduced quality of life
