    No to Fake Meat

    Seems obviously protectionism for the cattle industry. I can understand I guess the desire to protect a part of the economy. However seems to me like trying to protect the horse and buggy industry from the automobile.

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    I hear it all of the time. How do you protect a person's right to labor? I live in a "right to work state" but I suspect this means something different.

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    The problem is a person can make more than that by simply investing. They can take their 3.5 million euros elsewhere and have a lot less hassle than trying to keep a business afloat. You simply have 85 less job available. The entrepreneur will simply make their 500,000 euros some other way.

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    Depends on the business model. Workers are part of the capitalist system too. People have to want to buy what they are selling(their labor, skills). However 20%, sure. I think most entrepreneurs would jump at that. Generally 5% to 15% profit is acceptable.

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    Ideally, what everyone agrees to. However it is highly dependent on market forces. The last company I worked for, a percentage of the profits was divided among the employees. Some years there was no profit, in fact there was a loss. However, our wages were guaranteed so it came out of the...

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    Meat is not the only cost the businessman has to cover. They have to pay for facilities, utilities, delivery, packaging, advertisement, legal fees, health inspections, licenses, recruitment, etc... As well as tasking 100% of the risk if the business fails. If any one of these employees would be...

    Capitalism: why eternal growth is self-destructive

    If the universe is infinite then our growth is only limited by our technical knowledge.

    Incurring Moral Obligation

    I'd suppose as morally obligated as you'd feel to anyone you've never met.

    Are You Reverent?

    No. I suspect because I haven't really been closed to anyone who's died. It might be different if I had. Someone maybe I had looked up to.

    Biden "Israel killed civilians by USA bombs"

    Netanyahu issued a video statement on Thursday saying Israelis "would fight with their fingernails" in an apparent rebuff of Biden. Obviously not a deterrent for Netanyahu. So what should Biden's next step be considering that the US is still supplying billions in weapons to Israel...

    Life...

    I'd say procreation, survival until you can procreate, anything you can do to improve the chances of your offspring's survival. Whatever you can do to support your species chances of survival has meaning as well, whether you yourself have offspring or not.

    My Spiritual Journey

    I decided to equate spiritualism with mental health. So spiritualism was whatever one did to improve their mental outlook. Mainly seeking happiness or self-worth. Exercise and diet deal with physical health. Spirituality deal with mental health. Things like meditation, non-attachment and...
