I share some thoughts on what we can do as a species to make the lives of our own species and that of others better. I speak generally about the problems that arise from trying to block issues from our minds, and how we can open ourselves up to ideas and how we can envision and create a better world by questioning what we have been told, how we are living, and the systems we are living within, and by caring about all sentient beings.
In episode 49, I discuss domestication, and share my personal experiences and I share some thoughts of terms like “compassion” and “Kindness” in relation to vegan education and whether they are appropriate or not. I touch on some other issues and tie them in to one another. I hope you find it interesting.
“Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.”
September 1, 1939
W. H. Auden (1907 – 1973)

It’s been a busy Spring, so episodes have been a little infrequent. 🙂 In this episode, I discuss our moral compartmentalisation not only toward nonhuman animals, but also to human animals and that human and nonhuman issues are inextricably entwined. I give examples.
