The Man in the White Suit – Telling Truth like Is

Introduction Every once in while you come across a piece of media that succinctly articulates the ideas you ponder upon. Recently I watched just such a movie called “The Man in the White Suit”. Don’t be surprised if you’ve never heard about it because its quite old – it came out during 1951. That’s a while back. But the ideas and concepts are so well defined that bears watching it multiple…

I Read 37 books last year due to the Lockdown.

Introduction Last year in 2021, I read 37 books. This is quite a substantial number for me, because firstly I don’t like to read and secondly, this is way above my average of 10 books per year. The scope of books that I’ve read has drastically increased and my appreciation for wide range of subject matter has increased accordingly. Now having surprised myself at the number of books I’m able to…

Veganuary 2022 – It’s Growing

Introduction Veganism is about refraining from consuming any animal products. To the uninitiated this does seem quite daunting at first, but it’s quite easy to do. Usually people don’t know where to start, what to do, what to eat, and how to proceed. That’s where Veganuary comes in. Veganuary is a great campaign that allows people to have all these questions answered and to get the awesome…

Vegan for Earth Day

Introduction When I think Earth Day, what comes to mind is people spending the day enjoying the world. I envision people spending time in the forests, swimming in the oceans, climbing in the mountains and simple enjoying what nature has to offer. We can’t do that now. We can’t do any of that because this happens to be the second year that we spend Earth Day under a pandemic. It taints Earth Day…

Get Ready for Veganuary

Introduction Veganuary as the name suggests, is all about going Vegan in January. I love the name and I love the idea. It’s been extremely successful over the past five years in helping grow Veganism, spread awareness around animal suffering and shifting people towards a more plant based diet. The basic idea behind the campaign is that people pledge to stick to a Vegan diet for the month of…

International Day of Animal Rights…more Important than you Realize

Introduction I delved into the background of this day International Day of Animal Rights, and I was surprised to learn all of the interesting history behind it. I see this day in a very different light now. Obviously one can draw the conclusion that we ourselves are animals hence we should respect that connection, but this day has deeper connection with our history as humans – some of the most…

Jobs of the Future : Humanity Required

Introduction I’ve had two main careers. The first was in the creative field working as a mural painter, 3D artist and motion graphics designer. The second was in the IT field working as a developer. Both careers effectively came to an end, because I could see that technology could my job better, or because the work wasn’t worth the effort anymore. The lessons I took from the experience, is to…

Central Bank Digital Currencies will Pump Privacy Coins

Leaders of the financial world are scrambling right now for a way to salvage the system. Furthermore, you’ve got potential competitors to the current financial system in the form of cryptocurrencies. Since the financial system has no…

Top Five Must Read Books about Veganism

I am constantly amazed by the incredible perspectives the Vegan philosophy encompasses, and perhaps the best way to get these different perspectives is to read books about the subject. In this post I list my personal top five Vegan books that have inspired me, enhanced…

Introduction I’m not really that much into animals. Now mind you, I do love baby animals because they’re the absolute cutest, but I wouldn’t call myself an animal lover. I know sounds that strange coming from a vegan, but hey, you get all kinds. However, I will say that being a Vegan has made me give more thoughtful and considerate about animals. As today is International Cheetah Day I…

World Wildlife Conservation Day

Introduction The craziness of 2020 has put World Wildlife Conservation Day into perspective for me. Until this year it was a day I never really paid attention to. Now I am starting to realize that wildlife needs more than just our attention. After all, the scientific consensus says that it was an abused pangolin that carried the original form of COVID-19 – and look how that turned out for…

Exactly how Smart are Plants?

Introduction

Having been a Vegan for a while now, I’ve come to see plants in a different light. I think they’re incredible, and my wonder of these amazing forms of life only keeps growing.

When I was a kid, I would hardly notice them, they weren’t even worthy to be on my plate. However, now I’ve come to see them as nutrition, medicine and an integral part of life on earth.

When I reflect…

Vegans should own Bitcoin

Introduction

Veganism and Bitcoin are two words that you’ll never find in the same sentence.

Even though these ideas seem quiet disparate I reckon there’s quite a bit of overlap.

Having been computer programmer and majored in economics, the benefits of Bitcoin are blindingly obvious to me. I hodl Bitcoin, I am a vegan and I reckon other Vegans should own it too.

Both are about Freedom

Introduction

I like watching kung fu movies. As a kid I particularly loved watching the Jet Li movies from around the late 80’s and 90s. The fighting was so inventive, the action intense and visuals themselves were spectacularly stylish.

After learning of RZA’s favorite kung fu flicks I decided to go revisit the awesomeness that is kung fu.

Fun Fact : RZA has been vegan for decades.

When Robots can Feel, Humanity will Experience the Pain

Introduction

My beliefs are constantly being challenged and in many cases I have had to drop a belief or change it completely.

Technology is a massive instigator of this.

Every time I think I know something, a new piece of technology comes along that radically redefines things.

I’ve always believed that there would never come a time when robots and Artificial Intelligence would rise…

Meatpacking Plants still Killing Workers

Introduction

We are now 10 months into the COVID-19 pandemic and this is a story that continues to shock me.

Recently I came across an amazing article that mapped in realtime the Covid-19 outbreaks in the US food system. The data is staggering.

What this highlights is the numerous amounts of outbreaks of COVID-19 in meatpacking plants – and this continues even now. The real shocker is is…
