The Tolerance Gap
  • That problem is the same I've faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That's what makes this message effective.

  • The Simulation Theory
  • Praying to an inactive theoretical being is sort of the whole foundation of religion. If they (super being) ever verifiably acted, it would no longer be a religion, just fact. The unknown nature is what keeps people scared/hooked. This adds a depth to the comic that may not have even been intended (or the author is wicked smart).

  • Going vegan - advice wanted
  • Just do your best, mistakes will happen. My wife and I have been fully vegan for 12 years, but she just got a gelatin medicine. Sucks, but the alternative is her health. We'll find an alternative hopefully soon.

    Back in year one, we cheated and had a special ice cream, but it wasn't worth it.

    If you can afford purple carrot for a few weeks, you can learn some new meals.

    When we started, we didn't have many 'vegan alternatives' for meat, cheese, ice cream, mayo, etc, and we were much healthier eaters. Now we just use Beyond in our chili and call it a day, but it was better when we used TVP. It would be good to try both vegan meals, and substitute versions.

    Other than that, just remember why you're doing it. I can't stand the thought of hurting animals, so I could never go back. Some do it for the environment or health reasons and those are probably easier to give up on, but find a passionate reason to push you over that ledge.

  • Dimensions
  • This is a comic adaptation of the 1884 (that's not a typo) Flatland, but in the book, instead of rotating, they explain the concept of the next higher dimension. Similar result. Good book, nails the social satire of sexism (remains relevant today).
