Smart people don't even want the pay, we want the equity

The CliqueBusters  TM     Are you Paranoid enough?! Serial bullying is pandemic, rampant, a problem in a wide range of social settings and contexts, destructive both to the lives of the targets of bullying, and detrimental to every benefit that society affords us all. Presenting perhaps the most militant proposed  anti-bullying initiative the world has ever seen.

 

Kindness to animals and the prospect of meat without animal suffering? Brief digression into another innovative new business model:

 

There is a relationship between farmers and their animals, even ending as it may, at the dinner table. Temple Grandon famously declares than animals make us human. How so? By bonding under our nurture, or by dying at our hand? Or is the secret thrill in the combination thereof, and in the anticipatory Masochism of going the way of all flesh ourselves? Can it be that humane sensibility is precisely what Deathism, indeed: death worship, truly so abhors? Has the Nihilistic the ancient thrilling shame and dark catharsis of animal sacrifice simply gone underground both into the meat industry and into the collective unconscious? The very thought can only elicit redeeming Existential disgust. Or then again, maybe it really is the meat that is truly so delicious! In any case, what must be done to resolve the ambivalence? Vegetarianism is not sweeping the world. Vegetarianism only washes the vegetarians' own hands of guilt. Existential good faith demands due acknowledgment of the Absurdity of how Vegetarianism doesn't really help the livestock very much. Nor has there been any need of waiting upon pending advancements in vitro meat tissue culture or: shmeat*, because, fortunately, there is already an entirely feasible much safer and simpler immediate piecemeal engineering solution, than mass conversion to vegetarianism pending shmeat*, just staring us in the face: So, why wait? Given that because of the needs of mass production, livestock in battery farms must suffer such miserable penned up immobility awaiting their fate, then why not bring modern ranching to its logical conclusion? Why shouldn't livestock from hence forth be caused, by invention to stunt the development of higher brain centers, to be born into a permanent vegetative state, braindead? It's only the decent thing to do. After all: Whereas once farm animals had any responsibility at all in looking after themselves, and any sort of a life to live, notwithstanding it's end, even so there is nothing that confined and immobilized penned up food animals in battery farms need to do anymore for themselves. All that animal consciousness provides for any longer in mass production animal husbandry for meat and eggs, let alone any proposed more exotic medical applications requiring genetically engineered livestock, is only needless suffering and agony all around. Moreover, by redeeming battery farming into its logical conclusion, feed, maintenance, sanitation and therefore endangered public health, will all be vastly simplified at considerable savings, and butchery will become innocuous, a boon to the currently beleaguered conditions of mental health for labor in the slaughter house. Then the only farm animal consciousness will be that of placid and tended to dairy livestock along with the pampered denizens of petting zoos. Wouldn't that be nice?

Scientists already have the capability to grow synthetic meat tissue or in vitro meat (IVM) from animal cells, but the cost is currently too prohibitive for it to be used widely. Plus there is the problem that many recoil from the idea of eating lab-grown meat. But as the cost comes down and as public awareness of the food industry's practices grows, aversion to IVM might also diminish. From better safeguarding the environment, healthier and tastier food, and acceding to the moral antipathy towards killing animals for their meat, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we live. Large human and livestock populations in close concentration and proximity, allow new viruses to jump species and sweep across the world every year; an ongoing public health menace that will be fortuitously eradicated by transition to shmeat.   bistro in vitro  •  review Lab-grown 'clean' meat could be on sale by end of 2018, says producer ---But still nowhere as far off the mark than Winston Churchill, no less! "With a greater knowledge of what are called hormones, i.e. the chemical messengers in our blood, it will be possible to control growth. We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium."  — Winston Churchill, 'Fifty Years Hence.'  Strand Magazine, December 1931 [commentary]
