  • I bet a lot of people peddling homeopathy just think it’s herbs and water, and don’t know the initial theories behind it like “the law of similars” (thinking something can be treated by a substance that causes similar symptoms) and miasma (outdated idea on how diseases spread), or the fact that it’s often so diluted to the point where whatever was originally there is essentially gone.

    At least some natural/traditional remedies are legit, but still see an actual fucking doctor over anything serious.

    What are the terms that say that? I just want to be sure because every few years I see uproar over misinterpretations of some social site’s terms of service saying “we have the right to modify and redistribute your work”, when all it means is that they can host and make slight modifications to the files you post.









  • -Discovering extraterrestrial life

    -Phasing out of disposable plastics and gasoline vehicles

    -Transferring to clean energy and clean industrial processes whenever applicable

    -More widespread ethical and sustainable farming practices

    -Lab grown organs and/or more efficient artificial body parts

    -Improved healthcare system/healthcare research

    -Better treatments and potentially cures for chronic and/or rare diseases

    -Much longer lifespans I just think we don’t live long enough even with the current best case scenerios lol

    Though some of this would be viable now, if it weren’t for capitalism/politics holding it back so might not entirely count










  • Could depend on the fish species in question? Lionfish for example is extremely invasive in the Southern USA, so environmental agencies have been encouraging people to eat them to curb their population, potentially making it a more ethical choice. I’ve been seeing it pop up more and more, but it doesn’t seem to have caught on too much.

    But we should definetly limit our consumption though when it comes to more threatened/overfished species. There’s also some unethical fishing practices out there such as removing sharks’ fins then stranding them, causing harm to cetaceans, and other environmentally destructive fishing techniques.
