Or maybe it was sabotaged by people who hate technology.

I feel like this is less an end of history thing and more a 200 year running denial to realize the luddites were entirely correct

I feel like with all this placebo stuff you get like 10% increase in perceived well-being vs. a good 10% of the population just going full woo woo about this stuff

Just throwing one out there on no basis or research: They all gotta live next to these people and therefore detest whatever they’re selling

I’m not going to blame the state of things on like your dog or a dog specifically, but it kind of gets into “no drop of water feels responsible for the wave” thing as per frightening wildlife. Like that’s still bad for the wildlife, just less bad. It seems to draw the line at “anything that isn’t actually shooting them is not somewhat bad”, but I don’t think that works out, because you can apply it to pretty much anything that is detrimental to nature.

I feel like arguing both it isn’t dangerous to wildlife and also it keeps pests away is at contradiction to each other here. Like it’s still fucking with whatever is left of it’s nature, even if it’s not actively killing it.

They don’t eat the foxes, do they? I’m under the impression it gets a lot of shit compared to all other forms of hunting both because it’s a rich failson hobby but also because it’s just for the sport of it, like big game hunting
