lol! That’s a fun alternative which is kind of already the story! Minus the son of man part
I’m on my phone so I will try to respond best I can.
Thank you for asking me this moral question and sharing this personal story.
First of all you were 7 so you hold zero responsibility to this.
Secondly, I’m not sure putting a beloved animal to rest versus eating it has a moral choice. If they died by natural causes I think both are fine. Would we ask the same question about a house pet like a cat though? I personally do not think I could bring myself to eat a loved house just because it died. I also grew up with animals and your question hits home. For my pets I have buried them versus put them on the bone hill but I also don’t know how many labor hours would go into burying a horse. I assume that would be a lot.
As someone who thinks not wasting and freeganism is a good choice but not mandatory, I think eating anything unexpired that would otherwise be thrown away or roadkill is morally okay to consume. So I think eating the horse would have been morally okay but I don’t think putting it to rest is wrong in anyway.
I frequently eat vegetarian food left over from my immediately family that they would not eat otherwise but even know I slightly feel weird about consuming most meats even if it will be wasted otherwise.
So I personally think there is nothing for you too feel bad about. I do think it’s a very sad story though. I know how it feels to lose a family pet and I’m sure such a horse with such a good temperament must have lived a good happy life :)
I hope I treated your story with the proper respect needed!
Do you not think the lawyer helping the hurt win against big corporations is not sill though? And if they win them 55 mil for example they deserve a portion for their work?
The particular insurance I’m mentioning is annuities. Insuring one has steady income for life. I do see your point that even this type of insurance would not have to exist in a communist country since one would have a fair wage.
I guess I am thinking at too small a level! Thanks for your insight and sorry I’m responding via mobile so my thoughts are less complete.
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. So if one wanted to expand and make more one would thus have to divide that amongst more workers. Any expanse, salary, and expense would all be decided and taken upon together.
Also I didn’t know haute bourgeoisie was real lol. I thought that was just a term from the horrible movie metropolitan.
Thanks for the comment and links. Will read them later tonight.
Based on what you said, how do you divide bourgeoisie and proletariat then? Those who control the means of production and those who profit is extracted right? Would the example where no one is extracting and all workers are paid well still be proletariat? I’m sure it can’t be as silly as proletariat + paid well = bourgeoisie. Both examples I provided come from dirt poor families.
So based on what you just said, profit would/should essentially not exist. It should be expenses going towards all workers fairly and the rest put back into the company and means?
I think that's a rational way of approaching it, I guess it's hard to understand the ethics of it for big brands and how their leather is supplied for instance. I assume most cows are killed primarily for their meat but I am unsure.
Following your life of thought I see nothing wrong with freeganism. I feel plantbased caused me to be almost religiously anti-animal products early on but I agree with not wanting to waste.
Especially one's where an animal is not specifically killed for that product.
Thank you!
Thanks for the response!
I don't think one needs to follow canon by who owns the rights. Look at the bible lol! I can't see Brian's "work" or for instance Disney's star wars as canon beyond they own the rights.
The origins of Voice… It had to come from somewhere, and it being discussed by a teenager with freak abilities doesn’t seem that odd to me (given the wider nature of all the crazy stuff that happens within the canon Dune universe). I wish they had fleshed that our in season 1 a bit more though.
Fair point. They never explained much of it at all. Where in the books, not referring to Brian's trash, it seemed to be a skill learned.
The religious aspect seems very believable to me. Any time you get a group of people who believe they have some sort of master plan or divine right together for a common cause you will see a) scisms, and b) fanaticism/zealotry.
I agree it can be believable but their whole thing is control. They make up religions for control. Why would they believe in them?
Thanks for taking the time to explain :)
