  • Two reasons:

    • Sleep data can give some information on your health but isn’t regulated as strictly as health data. Health data == Money
    • Companies want your time and attention. TV manufacturers want you to use your TV as much as possible, social media companies want you to use their platform as much as possible, video game developers want you to play their games as much as possible. Nintendo successfully gained people’s time when outside through Pokèmon Go already. Now they’re trying to expand to your time sleeping. There’s not much time left which isn’t utilized by companies somewhat. Maybe there will be a Pokèmon School/Work soon?







  • I’d argue it’s vegan to use animal products if and only if the animal has died through no means of your own and you are not indirectly causing more exploitation.

    Second hand leather is not vegan because you indirectly support the leather industry by fueling demand for leather. Someone may be more inclined to purchase something made of leather if they know they can resell it at a later date (like a leather sofa).

    However, I’d argue eating roadkill you accidentally killed yourself would qualify as vegan since there are no moral issues with that - consuming it doesn’t fuel the demand for animal exploitation. Additionally, it causes you to consume less food produced through industrial agriculture (which is not sustainable in its current form), making kt better for the environment.

    For me, exploitation := intentionally harming an animal as a means to an end
