       Vegans cannot make up for people consuming meat twice a day.Those of us taking care to dither or compress images cannot make up for corporations building gas-power stations for data centers.

       There are some behaviours and practices which when extended in scale or time are ultimately biocidal, which we can not accept. Pandemics, wars and collapse are proven tools for mass behavioral change—events that may (or may not) benefit non-humans at a terrible cost to humans.These bad options will come, are coming, are here, with very few people actively desiring them.

       How can we actually change behavior? If we accept that "our" "good" "behaviour" can never make up for "their" "bad" behaviour, we are saying "they" need to change. How can we use whatever power and intelligence and power we have ethically to this end?I realize we fedizens are a laughably small minority, but I like us, and I believe we see problems and solutions better than average.The temptations of cynicism, stoic distance, of dissociation are real, I feel them daily.
