I have eaten an incredibly healthy diet over the past 30 years because of vegetarianism. For one example, think of no fast food. This no doubt has positive health benefits in the long term for most.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who demands I get involved in their brand of political activism or whatever, who espouses that we need "revolution now" and would actually be capable of starting a revolution let alone surviving one. Almost all of them get lovely if you say "you first" and give a laundry list of reasons why someone else should do it tho.

Bad Purchase posted:factory farming and slaughtering of livestock are one of the things that kids textbooks in 1000 years will portray as a barbaric ancient practice Nah, if it hasn’t changed in 11000 years it ain’t gonna change until we’re gone. You may be right about no civilization in 1000 years, but my money would be on some kind of nuclear war and not so much on climate change being the cause. Humans have survived climate changes before, it might not be fun but we’ll be able to do it again.

The one thing I always forget about fast food is that it's cheap. It's not just because people want to eat garbage. It's the cheapest food you can get.

Del Taco is still cheap, mercifully, but theres a lot of weirdos hanging out in both locations closest to me, so drive-thru now.

I eat meat and try to eat animals that don’t live natively in my country just to pass vegans off. Even when I was vegan I hated vegans, gently caress em.

Ah! I get what they were saying now. Those are still plants and animals, but point taken. Guess we’ll just have to come back to this thread in 1000 years to see who was correct.

The invention of the Haber Process at the turn of the 20th century means that our food is generated by fossil fuels to some degree, as it allows for the production of artificial fertiliser. So it’s not entirely right to say “we eat a lot of fossil fuel now,” but I will say that anyway because it highlights we have been feeding ourselves through industrial processes for some time, and if we had no industrial processes we’d be in a lot of trouble

Any future long term habitation in space will require pretty drastic changes in diet for everyone. Meat will be rare, as will certain crops.

Cutting out the conspicuous consumption that has come to be associated directly with meat consumption in the west, animals are indispensable supply chain tools until we invent a plant that can compost organic waste on its own and ooze proteins for multiple years until it's culled for even more fat and protein.

Also, the only long-term habitation in space will be restricted to astronauts and the ultra-wealthy. The closest anyone with a sub-8-figure bank account will get to space is an afternoon on the vomit comet.

Yeah, if there are actual services and industry in space, there will be corresponding poorly paid workers to do the worst jobs. Rich folks ain't doing none of that.

Rich folks ain't doing none of that.  Bezos and Branson are the only capital B billionaires who've even been subortital. There are a bunch of software dudes who've been in orbit like Richard Garriott, but he's an edge case and most certainly qualifies under the 'really loving weird' categorySpace travel is going to suck an incredible amount of rear end for the first century, and it will be the poor and desperate who get sent up to build the infrastructure, but capitalism will unquestionably drive space colonization.

The middle class isn't real. They are low class who have been given free time to serve as a carrot on a stick for the rest.

Time_pants posted:Tell me how a middle class person will get into orbit. I'm genuinely curious. How did Christopher Columbus get to the New World? Ferdinand and Isabella made a longshot bet because they would get loving paid if it worked out, plus they could flip the bird to John II of Portugal, their richass neighbor. thats literally how humanity has worked for multiple thousands of years - a rich dude sees a chance to get more rich, and they send someone who is smart/educated enough to pull it off, but poor enough that nobody will care if they die / greedy enough to mount a suicide mission To draw another analogy - Hot air balloons. The cost of rockets right now is somewhere between 18th century rich dude eccentricism and 19th/20th century vague military applications. It will only get cheaper.
