25 years ago few people used the internet. Look at it now. 15 years ago we didn't have smartphones or social media..
Now it has transformed the world and how people communicate..
Things can change quickly, but if we have to believe the common assumptions of the academic world and follow statistics there would never be much change..
Their methods thrive on predictability and repeatability..
Some recent news..
Quote:
A farmer was recently on the road to the abattoir when he changed direction and drove his trailer full of lambs 200 miles to an animal sanctuary instead. Sivalingam Vasanthakumar, 60, from Devon, now plans to grow vegetables.
Vasanthakumar is not the only farmer to perform this kind of reversal. In 2017, Jay Wilde, of Bradley Nook farm in Derbyshire, took his cattle to a sanctuary and decided to become a vegan farmer (the film telling this story, 73 Cows, has been nominated for a Bafta). In the US, the Illinois-based charity Free From Harm has gathered tales of many farmers who have had epiphanies and switched to veganism.

All changes start small and are being laughed at and ridiculed, then they are opposed with strong words and even violence..
In recent months there's been a lot of exposure about what happens in farms and slaughterhouses, much to the annoyance of governments who don't want stuff like that exposed because they prefer to keep people in the dark, and keep their industrial meat world alive. Making money out of dead animals (a very large profit for governments, heavily subsidized), in the name of ''business'' and ''economic advantage'' and ''it's just an animal''..
Time's will change, maybe too slowly, but they will. If lab-grown meat can help along the way then that's okay..
For many vegs it won't be necessary since they're used to the taste of other protein sources..
This farmer has made a change and hopefully he will inspire more farmers and people to make a positive change..
