That's called agribusiness and they do want to shut it down. Low-scale farmers that barely make enough to survive are the only good farmers in this worldview.

Also, moral intelligence is a real thing. Many people genuinely struggle with moral discernment, which is not the same as immorality.

This is not true. Research monkeys are hella expensive. We wouldn't use them if we didn't need them. Particularly for immune response testing, we still need monkeys.
Neuro stuff, we could probably do without them.

Why aren't you firebombing a pork feedlot or chicken barn if you feel there is no hierarchy of animal suffering?

Iraqi oil was primo stuff.
Venezuelan oil is not. It's almost as expensive to work with as Canadian tar sands. Invading for oil doesn't even make sense.

We just gotta lower the temperature on all of this. Make Harvard UMass Cambridge and 10x the admission class sizes. Knowledge is non-rivalrous and we can all possess it in our age of abundance.

Are you familiar with the racist origins of everything in American society and every part of the college admissions process? The SAT is the *least* biased part of college admissions, by a long shot.

Famously, that didn't work out well. Americans are happy to be high-minded for a couple of weeks and then they remember it's time to get serious and make the money flow again.

We are fraying at the seams because our civic religion has decayed to the point that nihilism has set in.
We desperately need leaders that imbue public life with meaning. Meaning-making is the core of what religions do.

Mike Huckabee was governor while also being a Baptist minister and he ran for president. If Mitt Romney counts as a religious leader, he would definitely be on there.
