In the past, we’ve had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.
Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.
In a few decades’ time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?
I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but I think anything related to animal rights and eating meat will probably be controversial in the future. We can lab grow meat, but you still choose to kill an actual animal for food? Canceled in 2050. Rightfully so I’d even say.
I think most of us meat eaters are in that boat honestly, I like eating it but I’d be much happier if I knew it was cruelty free or outright lab grown. The holdouts are just going to be weirdos and/or rich people.
Although it would need MS5+ marbling for an awesome experience.
I agree, and I wonder when stuff like this will begin to happen.
Also, I think that once the average person finds out just how smart aquatic life is, we will look back at stuff like sea world with more disgust than we already do.
I think it will be within a generation or two.
I know, grandpa eats real meat, that’s not nice and i don’t want you to do it, but he grew up in another time, so we have to make allowances.
I had a very awkward moment when I was talking about how intelligent octopus obviously are, and looked down and remembered I was in the middle of eating takoyaki 😓. I just want lab grown meat ASAP.
Hahaha happens to the best of us
Yeah I’m not a vegetarian, but if lab grown meat were widely available at a reasonable price I’d think a little poorly of people that went out of their way to eat the remains of a sentient being instead.
I’ve already swapped a lot of my meat consumption to meat alternatives like beyond meat and impossible and so on
It’s really hard to give up meat completely for me so I am trying to at least cut back by eating meat only every other day. Hopefully we can just move to lab grown meat that’s not detrimental to the environment so that I can enjoy meat without guilt again.
