Maybe it wasn't clear in my above comment, but I am not in favor of the status quo. My example was just to show how our current view is limited and we should very much strive for progress, since we don't know what is possible.

Did peasants in the middle ages believe in a constitutional democracy? And yes, I'm aware we don't live in a perfect democracy, but it would still seem like utopia to people from a few centuries ago.

I do also make compelling rational discourse on the matter most of the time. Other times I make emotional ones out of frustration. Like all humans, I/we are a balance of rationality and emotion. One is not better than the other, they are complementary. You know, the whole apollonian vs dionysian thing.

On the contrary, I would argue that non vegans dim their emotional response, thus throwing away the very thing that makes them human.

I thought it was some dumb clickbait, but it's just dumb Elon

So in German the phrase would go like "You prove, that I can't fly" so I'm guessing the author omitted 'that' for brevity

From the languages I know, that comma completely changes the meaning of the phrase. But I've seen some examples in German using some very weird commas, so maybe it's a language thing?
