WHY DO WE CARE WHAT ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY?

Artists as philosophers

MODERN DAY NOTIONS OF ‘SUCCESS’

HOW PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT ABOUT PHYSIOLOGY

Physiology is the missing key and link:

We love the ostentatious, but only on TV, not in real life?

Visual Stimuli

I need stronger visual stimuli! Thought, half the fun of going to the gym is all the visual stimuli there?

One of the reasons I don’t like working out at home is that it is mostly boring.

Maybe traffic cameras are a good idea, if people run red lights

Philosophy is an art and art form

90% GOOD ENOUGH

To me with decision-making, if it is a 90% good enough solution in my eyes, just stick with it.

Why do we seek become “successful“?

Why do we want “less“?

For example, why are we so obsessed with spending less money on everything, and also, wanting the commodity prices of things like gas and food to be less?

For example, the allure of gas stations like Arco, promising the cheapest gas, or worse, waiting in line for an hour for Costco gas.

The greatest privilege is affording your kid the chance and opportunity to be out in the real world

The “Ethics” of Meat

Some more theories; I think the reason why people believe eating “too much” meat is a pseudo ethical one;

First, an economics issue. Traditionally in the past, it was very expensive, therefore, one would supplement their diet with mostly cheap grains rice etc.

The funny thing is in today’s world, meat is actually cheaper than vegetables, and adopting this nonsense “plant-based” diet is a trillion times more expensive!

For example, even with inflation, you can get ground beef for about 399 to about 499 a pound. Most people can’t even eat that much meat, you should be able to totally satisfy and feed yourself for less than five dollars a day!

Secondly, I think modern-day consumerism behavior is towards animals, getting pets dogs cats etc.

Third, pseudo virtue singling thing. That irregardless of all this stuff, it is considered to be more pure and virtuous to abstain from meat? Even in the past, there were lots of cults which made it an edict forbidding eating meat. Even the Stoic philosopher Seneca experimented with abstaining from meat, but eventually gave up his vegetarian habits because others started to suspect him up being part of a cult.

The Plant-Based Conspiracy Theory

I have a theory; the reason why all of this trends towards a “plant based diet” has to do with the fact of profits, the Kelloggs corporation, grains etc.

Also, people seem like they desire some sort of new religion… they seek it in nonsensical notions of “animal rights“, and treating animals “humanely”. Don’t they realize that the word humane comes from human? An animal is not a human.

In other words, real men eat meat! And no, chicken, turkey etc. is not meat!
