My guest Dede is a biologist, scientist, synecologist. We speak about Elon Musk’s recent talk (see video in info section) on his plans to colonise Mars by 2024 and the problems with this plan as well as associated issues. We have a few laughs along the way. I think you’ll find it interesting.

Dr Stephanie Kelton was Senator Sanders’ economic advisor during his 2016 presidential campaign, so why does Senator Sanders still promote the idea that federal taxes fund spending in relation to healthcare? That will be discussed and more in relation to this.
The question that should be asked is, what stops the US and other countries from having free health care (which is a right not a privilege)? Corporate-owned politicians.
I share my thoughts on this issue.

My livestream of this essay. Part of the transcript: “This How To Go Vegan podcast episode titled ““Humane”: What’s in a Word”covers a question some of us might have and that is: Isn’t it okay to eat animal products if they’re “free range”, “cage-free”, “organic”, locally-raised, or “humanely raised”? I’ll talk about this topic informally, and personally.
Let’s talk about the term “humane”, a term we hear in the public sphere mostly in relation to animals. The word “humane” promotes the idea that there are “compassionate” and “kind” ways we can exploit sentient animals. We tend to only talk about “humane” in relation to humans when we talk about imprisonment, euthanasia, solitary confinement, detention, or killing people. When we hear the word “humane”, we should expect that the outcome for those involved will, no matter what transpires, be less than desirable and will involve some suffering and injustice at best.
In the case of sentient animals, our application of what we believe is “humane” for them, if applied to humans, would be considered torture. In other words, any time that word “humane” is uttered, it’s almost always the case that something morally questionable and possibly unjust is going to follow, whether it’s execution, refugees, interrogation techniques, asylum seeker detention centres, industrial prisons, or in this case, the animal industry and regulation of animal exploitation. We know that it will ultimately mean suffering for someone.” You can find the whole transcript here http://www.howtogovegan.org/humane/

My livestream on Twitter *(Periscope) this evening. I speak about Iraq and what has been happening there since the US invasion. I also talk about the CIA involvement (proven) in the dismissal of Gough Whitlam. I speak about the US backed genocide in Yemen. I speak about Marriage equality and Australia and some other topics. Basically I ask Australians to start rejecting this idea that the US is our ally and that we need to abolish war and reject these immoral wars.
