An excerpt from the write-up:
But if my more relaxed, undogmatic lifestyle convinces even one person that they could live without animal products, even 50% of the time, I’ve already prevented more many times more harm than I’ve caused.
What I want is for the world to move away from using animals for their pleasure or convenience. I no longer believe that growing a small bit intense group of zero-tolerance advocates is going to do that. It is easier and mathematically more effective to convince several times the people to go even just halfway.
Precisely!
Hence, I go moderate all the way and use gentle persuasion.
I have given up not only the V-Card, but all cards!
Humans have this way of ensuring that they have an identity by identifying themselves with a certain group, a certain belief, or dogma. I think this merely encourages discrimination – Haven’t we got enough of that, nowadays!
