1. Namethetrait history/highlights and #nametheprofessor call out to Sisyphus Redeemed especially

Part 1: Intro to controversy

FriendEd debate, moment to reflect on advocacy and educate ourselves on ethics, sincere ask to Ask Yourself and followers to get onto firmer ground and expand the range of their arguments.

Part 2: Open questions

What logical argumentation should we be pushing? How much humility in epistemology? How much psychological maneuvering in the approach? And finally the different answers to these questions depending on whether we're conversing 1 on 1 vs with an audience.

Part 3: UV's nametheprofessor comment

We're concerned with the claim that namethetrait as a consistency test is air-tight if it is not grounded in some firm meta-ethical premises, Isaac's reluctance to meet people at the foundations of their ethics is concerning, but if that's not necessary and everything can be run through namethetrait we'd like it if he could find one philosophy professor who is immersed in these questions to agree.

Read UV's comment, and play comedy clip "Calling all Jan Michael Vincent’s" to zooming in on #nametheprofessor.

Shoutout to Sisyphus Redeemed, you've argued the difference between subjective and objective is a categorical error, so you might be the least bias person to way in here, vegan, atheist, big time science advocate and all round bad ass.

For background we're going to play out the video with a hilight reel of the events leading up to this video, to get people up to speed. Full response to Ask Yourself's response to the forum thread upcoming, as well as lots of exciting videos including a "Top 25 Most influential moments for veganism in history", a response to David Benatar, a full run down and critique of anti-natalism within the vegan movement and an interview with a freegan charity food distributor. Till next time...

Part 4: Highlight reel/montage

AskYourself being called up on his alienating persona and argument style by other vegans.

Ask Yourself & Vegan Gains call out to debate the Skeptic community.

FriendEd labeling vegans objectivists to disregard one true morality, Ask Yourself denying this and trying to use namethetrait as formal logic.

PhiloVegan commenting namethetrait is coherent as formal logic only under consequential ethics and asking for some humility.

AskYourself insisting he’s an ontological subjectivist, namethetrait is perfect, building an echo chamber and binging on calling everyone retard and murking.

UnnaturalVegan offering her opinion that PhiloVegan is right that namethetrait is fine as informal argument but not as formal logic, promising she’ll do a video if he can get a professor to agree with it.

4. Anti-Natalism critique

Inmendham, OGMizen, various expressions of rational to fatalist amongst vegan youtubers.Inmendham not accepting the limits of human control and still seeing life through the lense of only meaning if there were god that could fix all of nature. Possibly take down of his joke theory of everything essay:Rational Wiki wrote:Gary Mosher: Physics crank who fervently asserts an alternate "theory of everything", rejecting all evidence of special/general relativity and the double slit experiment. He is also known as "inmendham", and alternately proposes a "destroy all life" philosophy.

5. Freeganism interview

Part 1: Run down of advocacy for freeganism we see on...

Tv

• Clean polished woman asking to reform shelf policies Finland. • Hugh Fernley witting stall bread pudding, war on want campaign

Newspapers

• Junk food cafes opening up

Social media

• How Much Food Can You Find In A Dumpster? (Vegan Gains) • Shelbizleee • Carb Up and Carpe Diem! • Bread boycott story

Part 2: Video showing round The Real Junk Food Project Doncaster

How the operation runs hygienically and distribution.

Part 3: Slippery slope?

Could it be seductive diet/lifestyle like paleo that limits your engaging with the hard rational ethics that are more likely to keep you vegan.

Part 4: How do we fix the problem?

Homeless dependency on it, irony of frugal activists being better able to travel with safety net of supermarket suburb dumpsters.

We don’t want the fix to be that we carry on wasting at the rate we are, but that it get’s burnt off in some slightly more environmentally friendly way. We want all the remedies discussed so far and foraging and gleaning street kitchens.
