they're harvesting horseshoe crab blood. It's really good for medicine and shit.

[Anonymous No.17678443]

>>17678404
They are taking blood from horseshoe crabs. The blood is blue because of copper ions instead of iron ions as in hemoglobin.

The blood is valuable because it coagulates when it comes in contact with endotoxins, which are parts of the shell of gram negative bacteria.

It's especially used in the pharmaceutical industry for injection pharmaceuticals because even if you sterilize a solution the endotoxins remain and people might die. This allows tests for detecting endotoxins.

The producers claim the crabs don't die from this procedure, this much is true, but I'm not sure if they can recover from the procedure.

[Anonymous No.17678444]

>>17678404
They have cut open horseshoe crabs to vampirize their blood while making sure they don't die. The horseshoe crabs will spend the rest of their life continuously bleeding for big pharma. Horseshoe crab blood has unique medical properties and all attempts to synthesize it artificially have failed.

[Anonymous No.17678450]

>>17678444
>There is a high demand for the blood, the harvest of which involves collecting and bleeding the animals, and then releasing them back into the sea. Most of the animals survive the process; mortality is correlated with both the amount of blood extracted from an individual animal, and the stress experienced during handling and transportation.[40] Estimates of mortality rates following blood harvesting vary from 3–15%[41] to 10–30%.

They can't recover. The point is that the harvesting of horseshoe crabs remain sustainable because a single one will keep producing blood for a long time this way instead of just emptying it once then discarding the carcass.

Claiming the world is "fake" is blatantly meaningless- it's a statement that's purposefully nebulous and always just beyond disproof. Power is real, it acts in demonstrable, concrete ways.
The lie that Bezos is the richest man in the world does not preclude the discovery of the real "richest man" (if that was something worth anyone's time).

This is perhaps the wrong thread for this sort of post but I think it's somewhat relevant to how humans treat animals and the like. You know, I flirted with the idea of becoming vegetarian or even vegan. The idea that I was feasting on food that while tasty, was the process of an often extremely cruel system bothered me, at least back then. For a while I began winding down my meat/dairy consumption, with the plan of eventually ceasing it.

But there's a gif/webm that floats around this site, of a Chinese woman eating some form of meat (I think it's tripe or something). There's several actually, showing Chinese and Korean women eating meat, sometimes animals that are still alive or in various states of being dismembered. And I know they are supposed to be stomach-turning, and to some extent they are. But at the same time, to me the woman in these clips seemed like a goddess of sorts. She didn't stop to think if it was right or wrong to do what she did to those animals; she did it because she could and she wanted to. She was so far above them that for her their squirming and pain meant nothing. She doesn't worry about the pain she causes to bacteria, and she was so far above these creatures that they were no better than bacteria, their suffering just as unimportant. To me she was a higher being of sorts. She and I are of the same species, but while I changed my habits and rejected my desires for the sake of the animals, she was confident that she was above them, a being on a higher plane of existence than them. She was on a higher plane of being than me too, because I willing lowered myself for the sake of animals, animals who were so very far beneath her, and perhaps me as well.

And then a sort of jealousy began to ferment in me. I am not her lesser, I am her equal, a human just like her. Why should I debase myself, chain myself down, reject my nature? She didn't. She was a goddess, who took what she wanted, as is her right. Why, as her equal, shouldn't I do the same? Soon, meat found its way back into my diet.

I know there are an infinitude of sensations and unique mental qualia, (to objectify what you're talking about, which is so foreign to myself) but this post was extraordinarily cringe and I think irrespective of the actual moral and metaphysical questions you're asking, you just need to have a higher opinion of yourself. Vegetarianism isn't necessarily a lowering of yourself.

>From of old, amid the rage of robbery and blood-lust, it came to wise men's consciousness that the human race was suffering from a malady which necessarily kept it in progressive deterioration. Many a hint from observation of the natural man, as also dim half-legendary memories, had made them guess the primal nature of this man, and that his present state is therefore a degeneration. A mystery enwrapped Pythagoras, the preacher of vegetarianism; no philosopher since him has pondered on the essence of the world, without recurring to his teaching. Silent fellowships were founded, remote from turmoil of the world, to carry out this doctrine as a sanctification from sin and misery. Among the poorest and most distant from the world appeared the Saviour, no more to teach redemption as path by precept, but example; his own flesh and blood he gave as last and highest expiation for all the sin of outpoured blood and slaughtered flesh, and offered his disciples wine and bread for each day's meal:—"Taste such alone, in memory of me." This the unique sacrament of the Christian faith; with its observance all the teaching of the Redeemer is fulfilled. As if with haunting pangs of conscience the Christian Church pursues this teaching, without ever being able to get it followed in its purity, although it very seriously should form the most intelligible core of Christianity.
>in our neat water-swilled shambles a daily blood-bath is concealed from all who at their mid-day meal shall feast upon the limbs of murdered household animals dressed up beyond all recognition.
>Only the love that springs from pity, and carries its compassion to the utmost breaking of self-will, is the redeeming Christian Love, in which Faith and Hope are both included of a—Faith as the unwavering consciousness of that moral meaning of the world, confirmed by the most divine exemplar; Hope as the blessed sense of the impossibility of any cheating of this consciousness.

I know it's cringy, but those emotions/thoughts sprang forth upon seeing it for the first time and they bothered me a lot. I dunno, it falls into my larger view of environmentalism. I have always considered it a noble cause, but more and more it seems like an utterly lost cause. There's too much damage done, and the gears of the global civilization machine is greased with the blood of innocents. It seems worse than hopeless. She offered another path, where you took what you wanted, where the ramifications of what you did weren't worthy of your concern. (In rereading this and my earlier post, it is worth noting I am probably projecting a ton of stuff on this woman that she didn't intend. I obviously don't know her). She offered another view of the human. Not a dude trying in vain to patch up a system that he has damaged beyond repair, but a person who freed themselves from fear, from guilt, from worrying about the state of the world or of what her actions caused. While others grew stressed/sad/doubtful, she transcended it all.

Of course, taking this to its logical ends results in a world that would be rather horrible to live in. (I guess Kant wouldn't approve). I don't know, I didn't mean to offend or draw ire. I am very torn/confused internally about this topic. When I eat meat, I'll often get the guilt/mixed-feelings, but then the thought that being guilty is foolish because many people have already ascended to a place where that guilt isn't there.

You seem to think power is binary. Either you are 'the government', and control everything, or you are nothing. 'the government' is a collection of institutions each composed of a bunch of humans, each with their own list of personal affiliations. Technically, the president can order someone killed (I think, maybe it was phased out), quite literally the ultimate power. In reality, there's a system of checks and balances, not all of them systematical, that makes that not exactly his right. He can't go on the street and order a random mr smith to the chair, can he?

No I don't think that, I just think that in the relationship between Boeing and the government, the latter holds all the power. Boeing is a sort of client of the state, they get a nice deal, they enrich themselves a bit, and they do what the government wants them to, which is in any case just developing tech.
