Veganism is so logical and rational that it contributes to making my worldview negative. My education about animals has shown me that most human beings lack argumentative skills and are ignorant about most major current topics. I question the actual intelligence of the average population
When we find ourselves within an ideological bubble, such as vegan groups, it's uplifting, giving us a sense that the world is making significant progress in animal welfare. The books I read, the documentaries I watch, and the occasional high-quality media articles all serve to reinforce this sentiment.
However, when we confront the real world, it's like hitting a brick wall head-on. We encounter flimsy arguments like "yum, meat," people vehemently opposing even the most basic statement like "animals are conscious beings," and comments so ludicrous that even a primary school child could debunk them.
We truly live in a world where animals are treated as if they are worth less than nothing, where confining them in zoos, exploiting them, and killing them elicits absolutely no outrage, except from those who have truly opened themselves up to this cause.
This isn't just problematic for animals; it clearly explains, in my opinion, why things are going so wrong in the world. Ignorance is rampant.
