š¬ Seems weird to complain about Avatar and Transformers and so on having bad writing or acting. The visuals on that screen would make every artist in history wet themselves in wonder, but weāre here like āeh, the third act dragged, and the dudeās accent kept changingā
š bugs taste pretty good if prepared wellāyouāre all just imagining some Fear Factor scene where youāre forced to eat live scorpions or something. Also, theres a not-insignificant xenophobic factor to a lot of yāallās reactions to eating bugs.
š if you eat hot dogs, chicken nuggets, plastic-wrapped snack cakes, chips, etc, and you complain about elites trying to convince you that eating bugs is good, You should probably focus more on what theyāve *already* convinced you is normal to eat
š¤ aversion to voicing object-level opinions at all costs leads to an environment where bad and dumb shit can flourish, cuz no one bothers to weed it out. āHmm no pushback about my new arsenic soft drink, so no need to reflect further. Start bottling!ā

š»beauty and aesthetics are not unfettered goods, and no, beauty will not save the world. A full accounting of humansā beauty-obsession would include: throwaway fashion pollution, animal torture for cosmetics, lead exposure, ecocide, sex slavery, cruelty to the homeless...
šøCreating beauty creates ugliness. This can be recognized, and done consciously, for the benefit of all. Or it can be done heedlessly, and the ugliness will be suppressed and ignored, allowing it to grow unchecked. Integrate ugliness, or ugliness will integrate you.
š„© the carnivore thing is gonna take the same route as veg: gain increasing popularity, go mainstream as the key to health, get backlash for being annoying and self righteous, and slowly fade to a backdrop of very mixed results, evidence-wise and health-wise.
