    That’s a pretty convincing speech.

    I personally have recently reduced my meat consumption by 90-95% autonomously because I just got tired of handling meat.

    I’ve done it for like ten years, soaking, rinsing, chopping, tenderizing, grinding, whatever;

    I just say fuck it these days and just go all veg for convenience and sanitation reasons:

    Nazaryn’s Vegetable Stew (for Dragons and Humans)

    Total Cost: Probably $6

    Servings: 8-10

    • Potatoes peeled & chopped/cubed
    • Carrots peeled & chopped/cubed
    • Portobello mushrooms washed and sliced
    • Onions peeled & sliced
    • Avocado oil
    • Tomato sauce
    • Cheap red wine
    1. Saute the mushrooms and chopped onions in avocado oil on very high heat (2 burners) until golden brown (see #2, simultaneously)
    2. Start the pot with a full jar of tomato sauce and filtered water, bring to a boil.
    3. Add in the carrots and potatoes and let boil/simmer for 20 minutes while you work on the onions.
    4. Add in the onion and mushrooms to the stew
    5. Add in the red wine, more fat of some kind (olive, avocado oil, whatever you’ve got) continue to simmer
    6. Basically ready to eat at this point, makes like 8-10 servings, keeps in the fridge for 5 days, can have it with bread or whatever
    7. Serve with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper









  • What a thought provoking question.

    I’d argue utility can exist outside of measurable systems but is defined by the measurements made within a system.

    The measurements then determine with arbitrary values the utility of an object.

    For instance, take two early human weapons: A wooden spear, and a club.

    How would you rate the utility of each? By a varying degrees of ways, but they have different uses; a spear can hunt animals and has good penetrating power through flesh, a hammer can stun or knock out an animal, or drive a nail or stake.

    But which of the two is the better use of the wood? That I believe, is at the core of your question.

    The answer is both. A non-zero-sum system where both are valued for different purposes and no-one is the greater, or lesser thereof.
