that bull sharks achar Liga saw bill keep up binky bought these soft candy you know that it the person looked good it was a matter of the heart so I said it straight hum say munafa cat horny see it's difficult being a hypocrite the problem is that you've got to see when it comes to these things I eat meat I
can never us do I feel that it is wrong to eat meat I don't feel it is wrong to eat me because look
because the way the world has been created it's the thus decreed nature that the animals will just eat each other's up hum cornea how can we disrupt the flow of nature it's a par impera is coming this this tradition is coming since evolution now it's not befitting for us to disrupt this tradition so we need to kind of just go with took
into that burger I you know I I had a discussion with uh I don't know whether there is a vegetarian or a vegan at one point and and I said well you see if you say that we should we shouldn't eat meat because of suffering then I ask you should we proactively prevent animals
from getting eaten by other animals ah now this one's stuck you know this uh this one big problem should I starve the Wolf's starve the Tigers and the Lions oh so so the thing is that you see you
kind of get stuck so I say look don't worry bar because look I understand that this this thing of they say suffering and I don't have an answer to that but I also recognize that there is no way out of this you see you can't you can't prevent nature from eating other animals eating other parts of nature its nature and even if you could prevent it if you try to prevent it you would just ruin
the entire ecology you just ruin everything and you would get out of control you couldn't because you see you would either harm the carnivores by starving them now you could say that we would supply imagine weak imagine we could generate enough artificial meat to feed all the carnivals on earth the Earth's balance would actually I mean the ecological balance would actually be I think catastrophic I think you couldn't just
it would just result in over population of certain creatures and because there's a balance in the kind of pecking order of things and evolution has evolved in that way so you see if you because it's a it's it's a thought experiment that imagine we could produce enough artificial meat to feed all the carnivores on earth would that be a wise thing to do lets us say as a thought experiment I think we the whole thing would go you go crazy I think you'd actually miss you'd mess
the entire ecological system up because it works on a certain way that for nature to operate for animals to thrive they need to have the survival instinct you see if the survival instinct is not in play it would actually destroy because animals are not they're not our car I mean they are on a conscious spectrum but they're not conscious like us they're not kind of sitting now thinking hey what should I do next week they don't work in that way and if you don't believe me you should check out the the great the mice utopian
experiment that I spoke about previously you see that that was a very fascinating experience where a person tried to create a paradise for a you know a researcher tried to in an experiment try to create a utopia for mice and I think he began with eight mice and and he had plenty of capacity plenty of provisions food he had water if things were always renewed fresh I think there were eight mice to to to kind of mate and copulate and reproduce and and it worked amazingly in the beginning
because the mice were just like wow this is awesome Arai and they're reproducing and reproducing and reproducing but when it reached a certain number you see the results were shocking you should read into it because the results showed that the mice they complete their behavior became absolutely abnormal there was a certain amount of mice they would refuse to the mice stopped mating they weren't interested in mating anymore
the mothers would refuse to take care of the young the maternal instinct began to die it began like the whole thing is really fascinating and they start to die off it was really weird but and part of it was that they they lost the the the kind of the drive to survive the willpower to survive because animals don't work the way the same way humans
work they are driven by that instinct to survive and if they don't have an environment that tests that instinct after a while I mean it may be funny in the early for the early 1st generation let's say but as they start to grow up and reproduce and reproduce it results in complete debilitation of these pieces cool with that let's move on to some other questions people
