yeah if it was about empathy they'd be trying to give them a good environment in the real world instead of developing VR for cows...
this shit is more dystopian than the Matrix because the machines were at least doing the rational thing
humans can't stop irrationally draining our only planet of life
this cow VR is only rational in the narrow view of only maximizing profits, but it comes at the obvious expense of the externalities wasting resources on cow VR instead of making a real pasture ecosystem that can make happy cows, capture carbon, and regenerate topsoil (research the rate of topsoil erosion in the world, it's scary and seriously underreported)
Maybe milk should cost what it costs to actually produce, no? There's no real need to subsidize milk through taxes and animal suffering. Maybe then we'd also start respecting our food and those that produce it. Probably won't happen though.
Yeah and you could stop using iPhones and wearing shoes made from slave labor.
...but you won't.
You could actually make a difference for ACTUAL human BEANS but you're stuck on bitching about milk.
This is such a hypocritical take when you're holier than thou attitude is "posted from my iphone" when factory workers are killing themselves just so you can get your data scanned "for cp"
You know how I can tell you're full of shit? I don't own an iPhone. Keep talking out of your ass I was just mentioning one type of solution to the fact that people have to put vr headsets on cows.
LMAO YOU know that's not what I meant, don't be a jackass. My point is that we can phase out cow's milk and then we don't have to fuck the environment over, make it more expensive, OR put VR on cows. It's a Win win win situation. Phasing out cows milk is not the equivalent of living off absolute basic necessities to the point of starvation. Get a grip.
You could say the same about literally any luxury, which is why I don't get your point. Should I refrain from all luxuries because they hurt the environment? Or should we create a society where we produce luxury goods in an environmentally sustainable way? I'll take the latter.
Waaaaa I’m such a huge fucking baby I literally cannot comprehend the fact that milk is not essential to human life. To me, if I can’t have milk, I’d rather just drink my own piss and eat my own shit than say, drink oat milk, which is vastly more sustainable.
We could still afford it at 3-4x the price. Wine costs at least 5x as much as milk and many people still buy it. We just wouldn't drink milk like water. We'd instead treat it more like something that takes considerable effort to acquire.

That, and having too much empathy for a career in the food industry
