Your probably not actually on a "higher level". Only maybe comparatively in a relative sense but you probably haven't studied psychology and epistemology sufficiently to understand how lower perspectives work. Everyone overestimates their level of development, maturity, intellect, etc.

I'd recommend you just get a tattoo artist to tattoo you instead. Not only will they give you exactly what you want, it will be hygienic and safe. You don't want to risk getting a gnarly skin infection. You can still draw your own design.

Isn't that mad expensive though? Also, two of your steaks are green dude.

Maybe your conflating faith with confidence a bit (which I define as surviving failure). You don't need to have confidence to have faith, but I digress. In my personal experience, having a very clear picture of what you want and moving towards your goals is essentially what life is all about. Once you have clear and strong goals, it should be simple. It's important to have faith in yourself if nothing else, I'd say. Perhaps just in your ability to handle what life throws at you. If you fall down you just get up.

It's not even a question that excluding animal products is more nutritionally challenging from a purely health perspective, but the point of veganism isn't health first and foremost but taking a moral stance. If health was the first priority then including animal products in your diet is a no brainer. They are highly effective, assuming you make healthy choices.

Look forward to the fakest ever, most sugary and salty Mcnuggets that are 3D printed to look like a minion or whatever kids movie character that is out. Your kids will cry if you don't get them the Spider-man nuggets with strawberry flavor. Lab meat is really the final frontier of junk food.

It's an inter-generational process of problem solving which distinguishes humans from other animals. Since we are capable of expressing complex ideas with a high degree of accuracy (plus being intelligent) we can effectively iterate on past ideas, discoveries and invention as opposed to having to start from scratch every generation such that we have a timeline of technology progressing. Eventually technological progression becomes exponential as certain discoveries are made that are highly malleable and applicable like electricity or plastics and our knowledge accumulates. Society has also changed from subsistence to industrial to a service based economy, which incentivizes innovative solutions for increasingly complex issues. We've largely solved hunger for instance with modern farming techniques and logistics. You could argue that cultural concepts is also a form of technology as our ability to create abstractions and draw distinctions in reality allow us to form new ideas of how to interact with the world. For instance, capitalism could be considered a technology that defines an environment where technological innovation is not only incentivized but institutionalized. Another crucial social technology is the concept of science, which is all about reproducing outcomes and iterating on one's understanding of the material world. To illustrate a timeline of innovation, imagine a Stone Age human having the intuitive inclination that beating some small animal with a stick was effective. What if they then somehow made the stick pointy such that it could stab an animal? Now you have a very primitive spear, a literal pointy stick. Eventually, they figure out, "what if we tie a sharp rock (flint) to the end of our spears so they're sharper and sturdier?" Now they've innovated on the base idea of a spear. After gaining experience from use and getting an inclination of how to further improve the concept they start adding serrations to the tip and improving how the tip is attached to the stick. They figure out what wood makes the best shafts, etc. Since they ended up spending a lot of time throwing their spears since it gave them a lot of extra range, they eventually figure out that they can launch spears using a bigger J-shaped stick like a sling. Eventually, they figure out to make a small hole in the base of their spears to improve on that concept. Now they have javelins, an actual ranged weapon. This timeline could take generations but since the accumulated knowledge is passed on each time, it allows successive generations to iterate on an idea without having to start from scratch. They already know what rocks to use to make spearheads or what wood makes the best shafts, or how a javelin works. They can now use that knowledge to for example make a miniature javelin which ends up being the bow and arrow for even greater range and accuracy.

Drumming up controversy is a marketing strat of Kanye. He always does something crazy to drum up attention right before an album drop, like announcing he's running for president or interrupting that award ceremony. He's also just a contrarian, plus he's mentally ill (bipolar).

In Scandinavia we have something called "first time service" (førstegangstjeneste) which is a limited contract of about a year. Basic training + a couple of months of duty. It's a good way to get some experience. I think an equivalent of that sounds like it would suit your situation more as you don't sound like you are specifically interested in a military career long-term. Once the year is over you could apply for a career in the military or move on.

I don't think it's likely that we'll ever get a fully vegan society since there will still be people running their own farms, fishing, hunting, or are into price beef, etc. Certain meats have culture attached to them. That said, fake meat slop is the final form of Mcnuggets and soggy burgers. Doesn't even need to have the texture or necessarily the taste of real meat. Just deep fried paste with extra sugar and salt. Probably won't happen in our lifetime though.

It's true that vegans tend to be largely urban (and middle/upper class) and that the cushiness of modern life makes it so you can get away with living in fantasy, but that is more on an individual basis and doesn't necessarily say anything about the merits of the ideology itself. Being vegan is both possible and healthy (due to modern imports), though generally harder and less convenient. It's a matter of values whether or not to be vegan. You don't have to be crazy to want to be vegan.

Your arguments is that they hate themselves. That is frankly ridiculous 😂. You don't have to hate yourself to care about animals. Vegans just tend to be a bit out of touch with reality at times.

Meat-eaters VS vegans is structurally the same as Atheists VS Christians.

I don't like how you assume my intentions. I haven't actually said anything about the merits of veganism or meat-eating. I just have a different understanding of what survival is. If anything, it's dishonest to assume intent over focusing on the quality of arguments. That is a prime example of survival actually. I guarantee that the average serial rapists has all sorts of rationalizations about how women deserve it, etc. Ethics and survival are two different and often opposing things. Ethics are limitations to one's selfishness. But ethics are also survival to a certain extent, as they are culturally informed and socially regulated. For example, sex slavery is abhorrent in western countries but completely normal and expected in Mauritania. People would look at you weird if you didn't keep slaves, like how big businesses are expected to screw over customers and steal wages and would get sued by their investors if they didn't. Ethics seem to have certain universality for humans at least, but I'm not completely sure and if to what extent. Also, "validity is an inherently lingual notion. Tigers don't give a shit about "validity". In the context of survival "validity" is just an opinion.

But you do. Food is the one consistent highlight in a lot of people's day. The fact that people will fight and debate you over giving up their burgers is proof of that. It's an explanation, not a justification. Trying to convert a meat-eater into veganism is structurally the same as trying to convert a secular person into Christianity. It'll only work if they are already open to the idea. Morality is not a universal feature but a relative mental construct. Human morality, including veganism, is largely an extension of behavior that would maintain social cohesion, like not being murderous. Tigers don't flinch or question when they kill because they don't have an identity that subsumes certain principles as right or wrong nor do they have the need to. That is not bug but a feature of their design.

Actually has a nice cadence to it and I like how the chorus sounds and how the song progresses, but the lyrics are unacceptable cringe. Kind of edgy shit that would be cool in the early 2010s.

Why did I get a blank flag?

Survival is the survival of one's own identity, which is why vegans tend to get in so many debates. They are surviving their vegan identity, likewise people can feel like their worldview and lifestyle is being undermined by vegan ideology because it is uncompromising due to its moral dimension. Comparatively, you don't see people debating paleo bros. There is no "paleo identity". It lacks that moral dimension that makes it more actual, beyond just being nutrition bros.

Eating for flavor and texture is survival. Eating bland food purely for nutrition or being vegan is less naturalistic than just eating tasty burgers unquestioningly. It is just in modern times that following one's instincts can be unhealthy. Medieval peasants would be healthier if they ate Big macs.

Great documentary showing what life is like in a lawless country. Spoiler alert, utter shit. Puts my cushy life into perspective. If you live in a first world country you don't have problems, you have challenges (unless you have a serious mental illness or disability or something). It's like Cyberpunk, but just the crime.

Currently it would be closer to anarchy because there is no central power that monopolizes violence and adjudicates law, although non-ideologically. People are just surviving in a state without a functioning government. Haitian collapse can be tied to a certain degree to corruption and bad economic policy. I don't think that counts as libertarianism necessarily.

Good explanation of why Haiti is in the mess it is in.

They have a literal combat zone where the police will shoot anyone on sight, where they regularly get into gunfights with gang members.

Bullet-point style format and those emojis are a dead giveaway.

I'd argue that economic issues is the most bipartisan and unifying issue for Americans but leaning more into religion could certainly be a good thing. Also, your post kind of looks like it is AI generated. Maybe I'm wrong but you should make that disclaimer if that is the case.
