Nah. Meat eating is immoral no matter what. If some Amazonian tribe regularly sacrified people to their God, they wouldn't be morally absolved even if it's a part of their culture. Fuck off carnist apologist.

DISCO ELYSIUM

Excruciatlingly long exposition dumps of half-baked "philosophy" combined with lackluster gameplay does not make a good game! I really wanted to like this game but the writing is the epitome of pseudointellctualism.

We live in capitalism where all labor is commodized and alienated. All work sucks. 99% of white collar work is bullshit. Anything tied to "meaning" is overworked, underpaid, and likely stressful. Plus, any passion will be snuffed out if you're doingit as a job.

The optimal way to survive as a prole is to make as much money for the least work as possible. White collar STEM jobs are well-suited for this purpose; it's why I personally pursued an engineering degree (in addition to the fact I enjoyed math and science). If I studied and did what I was truly "passionate" about—philosophy, history, guitar, languages—I would have fucked up my life. Instead, I do wageslavery for 8 hours a day which I'm good at and can somewhat tolerate, and I aggressively pursue passions during my freetime to avoid severe depression (kew word: severe; depression is still there lol). I was like you when I was fresh out of college: incredulous at how shit working actually is. Now this is going to sound depressing, but with time you get used to the drudgery....

This is admitely lib copium, but look into FIRE (retire early). Personally it keeps me focused and gives me some purpose to getting up everyday to push papers; i.e. to one day be able to fuck off to mexico or something with 300k and just not work anymore. It's admitedly copium but it does help—a man needs hope.

That's not true for all fields. For example, PE is useless for aerospace engineering. You can be a chief engineer with a PhD at NASA and there is zero requirement/expectation for you to have a PE. It's really only for civvies.
