I use hyperboles to highlight certain issues. I see that I could give off vibes along "here's my hyperbole, I defeat it, so I defeat your argument", but what I wanted to say is "I agree with the core idea, but I think your argument is missing something very important, but it's a problem to be solved rather than a complete failure". Next time I'll try to be clearer
What I said was that with education, outreach, and other nudges, we could, over time, affect the statistical distribution of meat consumption. Which is correct. I did not say it was easy, in fact I did not comment on how hard it would be, I just said it is possible.
In fact, fixing humanity's over-consumption of resources will be very hard. But we have no choice. We will perish if we do not. So, idk about you, but I think we had better try.
By the way, and I want to say this as a genuine bit of feedback, but it is not very interesting conversation if you are going to take what I said, turn it in to hyperbole, and then point out that the hyperbole you made up is unrealistic. I would encourage you to read comments carefully, and make sure you have really understood what the person has said. Cheers, and nice username.
