If you live only for needs and don't look past the base tier of Maslow's Hierarchy, that's a miserable existence.
Oh you live in a climate controlled building with electricity? Existence is more about comfort to you than survival.
He was saying he couldn't afford it though, which isn't true.
He was trying to conflate his needs with his wants, then got mad at me when I called it out along with the rest of the cognitive dissonance crowd.
Funny how you guys immediately jump to "living completely without wants" when someone dares to suggest you don't need meat!
Criticizing meat-eaters always puts into perspective how "smart" the average person is these days.
I'm not mad, I'm pointing out that the insinuation that eating food being purely a matter of survival without the consideration of enjoyment would not be very fulfilling.
If you make the argument that something as basic as consuming sustenance should not be enjoyed, anyone else could make the same argument about any of life's enjoyments or comforts that you otherwise partake in.
He's the one who tried to conflate his needs with his wants, not me.
The same argument also can't be made for "any of life’s enjoyments or comforts that you otherwise partake in."
It's sad watching you people refuse to acknowledge when you're part of the problem, but I never expect more at this point.
I wouldn't expect much if you go antagonising people out of nowhere.
It's nothing personal.
Facts are just facts. If you're upset over them, maybe you should look at yourself instead of trying to shoot the messenger.
Keep in mind, he's the one who tried to conflate needs with wants. If he didn't do this, then I wouldn't have had an opportunity to correct him.
Funny watching you guys get mad at me though; really shows your entitlement, insecurity, and cognitive dissonance.
Humans do need a regular source of protein to prevent being malnourished.
FYI, I'm blocking you. I'm not about to go down your crazy rabbit hole.
That doesn't have to be meat.
Lol. Plug your ears to facts you don't like. I don't expect more from ya'll at this point.
