>96%
Onoes! Why the fuck should I care? Is there a value to compare this to? Like in the 1600s? Is 96% low or high?

>> No.14721163

>>14721056
and that's 0,009% of all animals.
And this doesn't stop Humans from feeding on animals.

Did you ever wonder how much biomass cannibals make?

If this thread gets political I just wanted to say from what I've read that ted is against a free market economy and believes in governmental control at any level of technology

Ted's views largely come from Ellul and his concept of "technique" which goes beyond technology to include all methods designed for efficiency. Ted is against all modern politcal-economic systems (capitalism, socialism, communism, fascism, democracy, authoritarianism) because they all depend on the development and propagation of techniques.

Whales are even bigger than elephants and they aren't livestock either. But as big as they are, there aren't many of either left. I do have to wonder if they're classifying dogs as livestock though.

Ellul first discovered the writings of Marx when he was eighteen years old. At the time, his father was unemployed and Ellul was supporting his family while attending law school. He writes:

I was in the depth of despair.…I borrowed Das Kapital from the library and started reading it.…I discovered a global interpretation of the world, the explanation for this drama of misery and decadence that we had experienced. The excellence of Marx’s thinking, in the domain of economic theory, convinced me.

Nothing, just wait for true globalization by technology before you try a revolution, that way the dictators won't take over in your wake.
