In the past, we’ve had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.
Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.
In a few decades’ time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?
I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, but I think anything related to animal rights and eating meat will probably be controversial in the future. We can lab grow meat, but you still choose to kill an actual animal for food? Canceled in 2050. Rightfully so I’d even say.
I think most of us meat eaters are in that boat honestly, I like eating it but I’d be much happier if I knew it was cruelty free or outright lab grown. The holdouts are just going to be weirdos and/or rich people.
I agree, and I wonder when stuff like this will begin to happen.
Also, I think that once the average person finds out just how smart aquatic life is, we will look back at stuff like sea world with more disgust than we already do.
I had a very awkward moment when I was talking about how intelligent octopus obviously are, and looked down and remembered I was in the middle of eating takoyaki 😓. I just want lab grown meat ASAP.
Hahaha happens to the best of us
I think it will be within a generation or two.
I know, grandpa eats real meat, that’s not nice and i don’t want you to do it, but he grew up in another time, so we have to make allowances.
It’s really hard to give up meat completely for me so I am trying to at least cut back by eating meat only every other day. Hopefully we can just move to lab grown meat that’s not detrimental to the environment so that I can enjoy meat without guilt again.
