"indigenous people are too primitive to have these problems: crime, mental illness, drug addiction, suicide, depression, are all features of an advanced civilization..." thanks ishmael.
Some people may feel that way from this, "Good. So henceforth I'm going to call the people of your culture Takers and the people of all other cultures Leavers."
If that were taken figuratively, it wouldn't be speciesist. But a few animal rights activists I've talked to have taken it literally, which is why they would feel the way they do about it.
I like this format too. And I don't think anyone eles is doing something like this. Which means we're in an undiscovered niche. Once We're done, I'm going to go through all of the vids and elaborate on what they mean to me personally.

Some may argue the idea that the Leavers are the most critical is speciesist.

leavers are a different culture, not species.

If I were talking about just humans, I wouldn't have said speciesist.

the world was not made for any one species
the world is upside down
"order" = disorder
"progress" = regress
"wealth" = poverty
the takers are a profoundly lonely people
great chapter, but then they are all great chapters
i like going through the book this way--hearing it makes me love the book all the more
i wonder if d. quinn knows about this--i bet he'd love it
