Yeah, it took me a while to wade through all the rhetoric and figure out what her essential message is. What I want to know is whether not she's aware of it. It seems to me it shouldn't take long in traveling down that road to realize "oh shit, this problem was unavoidable, and has no solution." This doesn't mean one shouldn't choose to be vegan, if so inclined, but what's the end-game? What exactly is veganism being held up as? An honest take would be to say "hey look, wild humans have a capacity for savageness, but we happen to find ourselves in a position in this current era to choose not to be savages." Ok, fine. Be what you want to be. But you can't be against the savageness that comes with the wild human animal, and simultaneously be FOR rewilding and primitivism. This is an untenable position and it strikes me as very odd that she hasn't seen it, in spite of obviously spending a great deal of time analyzing the topic. Or perhaps she has seen it, and cannot come to terms with it on some level? Cognitive dissonance perhaps? I like your take on it. I postulate from problems all day long, but rarely find any solutions beyond those which boil down to personal preference.
