  • Our parents, why they didn't become vegan, and we did.
    2025/02/20

    This is an interesting contrast to the conclusions presented in the book (Veganism: Future of an Illusion) written many years later, where the futility of trying to convert your relatives (parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters —sometimes even husbands and wives) is a major subject of contention. Philosophical, political, personal AND pragmatic contention.

  • Peter Singer: Scumbag, Whoremonger, Professor of Ethics… and Fake Vegan.
    2025/02/13

    I will need to upload a separate video dealing with Peter Singer's odious involvement with "Effective Altruism" entailing a direct connection to SBF from FTX (Sam Bankman-Fried) but here, for the moment, is a mere hour and a half dealing with the sex scandal of the century and the stupidest moral philosophy of the millennium… FROM A VEGAN PERSPECTIVE. ;-)

  • Vegan Bodybuilders and the Politics of Pandering: Brian Turner, James Aspey, Greed and Cryptocurrency Corruption.
    2025/02/09

    A long title for a long video: most of this can be understood as an audio-only podcast, but there are charts and factoids on screen in the "video podcast" version (along with the expression on my face, for better or worse).

  • Unnatural Vegan: Why Everyone Hates Eisel Mazard.
    2025/01/02

    You don't choose to be loved or hated: you choose to be known or unknown. And if it is inevitable, in choosing to make yourself known, that you also make yourself hated, then you must decide if you will be hated for reasons shallow or profound —if you will dispute things that are trivial or of great significance —with honesty or deception —with or without wearing a mask. The conflict between myself and "Swayze" (Unnatural Vegan) does in large part explain how I became such a notorious figure in the vegan movement, and it is linked to several different political, philosophical and ethical controversies that have never been resolved.

  • This is the End of the World: the Failure of the Vegan Movement.
    2024/12/23

    Solar panels and wind farms aren't going to make the necessary difference: if the vegan movement fails, this is the end of the world. Some call it "global warming", some call it "climate change". Some prefer to speak more specifically about carbon PPM (parts per million) in the atmosphere, rising ocean levels, and so on. It's a simple problem with a simple solution, from a vegan perspective, and yet tremendously complex from so many other perspectives that fail to recognize the centrality of meat production (animal agriculture) to the problem and solution both.

  • Alex O'Connor: Vegan Judas, Atheist Antichrist.
    2024/12/21

    Formerly known as Cosmic Skeptic, Alex O'Connor was a major, influential leader in the vegan movement, and presented himself as a philosopher, arguing that it was morally obligatory for other atheist philosophers like Matt Dillahunty to be vegan —until, one day, he revealed that he wasn't vegan anymore, and, perhaps, if we just listen to what he said so plainly, he never was vegan at all. Following in the footsteps of Peter Singer, Alex O'Connor preached a doctrine of "the net positive" while having a "net negative" effect: destroying the vegan movement from within.
