It is an easy way to support Bobby's perspective Thank you very much enough commercials guys today's video topic is how my mind state was as a vegan Was because I'm not vegan any longer if you've been following this channel This is old news for you if you're new to the channel Let me quickly explain that my health failed on a vegan diet after four years But the question is why did I stuck with the vegan diet for four years? Right, even though my health was failing pretty much after one and a half years I still stuck to the diet. Why was that the quick answer is of course? It was ideology. Of course. It was a dogmatic belief system Which was that belief system you might ask guys? When I was a vegan, I saw intrinsic evil in this creation and in many ways I still do When I saw nature, I saw something dirty no matter if it was the soil or the guts of an animal the blood When I was a kid I associated nature with danger and dirty and evil That's what I truly saw every time I would go to the village and I would see my uncle slaughter I would see the mud the filth the shit and then the killed animal. I Felt vulnerable. I felt as if I didn't fit into that scenario I thought we humans we tried to escape that and in many ways. I'm still of that same conviction. I Looked at nature and I saw that we are really not adapted to it Even though we evolve from it. Maybe maybe not But if you look at nature, we are totally different from any other animal from any other beast It is the truth. You cannot deny it if you see a tiger or a lion They seem perfectly adapted to their environment. We on the other hand try to escape it from the get-go Even with the invention of fire Everything that we do is an escape from nature We're building shelter and then you extrapolate it and you get into the modern day and age and now we have electricity cars airplanes internet and whatnot We are very different a very different animal and therefore my mind state as a vegan was that often transhumanist When I looked at nature, I saw the floor and I saw that potential in us to change everything around us Because it's false because it's dirty because we do not belong there. I Saw us as some sort of gods in animal bodies and in many ways. I still do I saw us as gods that can transcend that dirty filthy animal body in many ways I thought that's our mission in many ways I thought that only through transhumanism we can escape that vicious cycle and Hey, who knows? Maybe we can maybe we will maybe it is the biggest conspiracy of them all Maybe not who knows point of the story is that as a vegan I'm trying to limit myself onto that topic and not dive deeper into transhumanism as a vegan I saw that intrinsic flaw. I Saw that we have that possibility and in many ways the responsibility to change our surroundings and then ultimately to change ourselves. I Saw flaw in the creation of men. I saw limitation and in many ways I thought that that limitation has been created on purpose Who our creator is or who our creators are is up for you to decide But for me it seemed as if we've been created with flaws on purpose So we will strive to change we will embrace change We will feel uncomfortable and with that uncomfort We will strive to change first our environment and then ultimately ourselves This is how I saw it as a V and Therefore when somebody told me yeah, but what you are eating is unnatural. I couldn't care less and Guys the reason why I share this with you is For people that are in the carnivore community omnivores, whatever to understand the vegans and to understand that you're Argument won't be fruitful Your argument won't reach those ears Vegans truly believe that we evolved out of the dirt so to speak We came from the bushes from dirt from caveman's and then we evolved and went further through the dark ages Medieval times all of that is in the past now, right? And now we are in the modern day and age the age of information and right now right here We can make new decisions of walking to the supermarket We can grab tofu instead of meat and I understand that point if you limit your perspective on to the Modern-day environment and all you see is the supermarket in your mega city Then of course you will feel that way and of course under that circumstance You will say it is more ethical to grab the tofu to grab the mock meat instead of the real meat The issue with vegans is that we and I'm talking about we now because I'm still in my vegan persona here I'm trying to think as my past self We thought that as everything else in life We are evolving as well, right? Somehow our bodies will adapt as well as a vegan I didn't take into consideration that there is biological limitation to our gut system so on and so forth So therefore all I saw is that we have the possibility Simply put just like any other technology. I have the possibility to use this camera I have the possibility to upload it on the internet I have the possibility to wash my hands with warm water instead of going down to the river I have all of those Possibilities and therefore I will choose to use them So why would I be ignorant so to speak and not use the technological advancement in nutrition in food, right? I have that option. Why wouldn't I? And if you have that perspective you cannot listen to any carnivore telling you about it's unnatural You don't give a shit about natural or unnatural Because you see that many things in nature are flawed already and I understand it So therefore you pick and choose the things that you enjoy about nature and you discard the ones that you don't like And let's be honest in many ways as carnivores You do the same, right? You go still to the supermarket. I know not everybody some go to farms some are hunters Some are butchers themselves, but many carnivores Go to the supermarket, right? And they just pick the meat instead of the mock meat and that's as Natural as it gets those people still don't embrace nature with all their upsides and all their downsides Me personally as a fruitarian back in the day I went to the jungle and I was sleeping in a tent. I was washing myself in the river I was shitting in the bushes. I was living of the coconuts down there Yes, that is the truth. It was an extended fast of course, but I embraced nature for what it is And I saw how it truly is. I saw the darkness. I saw the thunderstorms in the Amazon jungle at night. It was scary Yes, I did all that and I understood for myself That I really do not want to live in nature. I do not want to go backwards quite the opposite I embrace technology with everything that goes along with it. Of course, they are very very dangerous Implications of technology. I try to stay away from social media as much as possible. Honestly But there's so many benefits to it that are very alluring again Everything will come with a downside. Nothing comes only with a net positive. It's impossible in this life It is a duality after all but again without rambling on for too long as a vegan I Only want to see the technological advancement. I only want to embrace the positivity That came with technological advancement I ignored all the downsides of it and I ignored our natural food so to speak In many ways, I was even secretly hoping for lab-grown meat If you look back into my videos, I'm not deleting anything You can check that I was somewhat intrigued by lab-grown meat Not fully sold not fully convinced but Intrigued for sure You have to understand that I came from a bodybuilding background and as a bodybuilder I supplemented a ton So therefore whey protein Gave me benefits, right? This is how I saw it. I'm like, yeah, sure whey protein is not something that we evolve to eat This is not an ancient food But we ate it. No worries. It was beneficial and I thought the same about the vegan foods I really thought that if I eat mock meats, I get rid of the bad cholesterol I get rid of the karmic baggage if you will and I eat a clean protein source all I need we achieved the status of Isolating amino acids of isolating certain proteins and with that we can live that Man's human lifestyle This is how I saw it guys. So why do I share this video guys? I share this video with you because I want to connect the people honestly As I said many many times before yes, it is a duality and yes We need both fronts and yes, we need division to an extent we need divisions So we understand what unity truly is it is a division after all But I am over it It is time to progress I'm not gonna join the money grab and this is one of the reasons why I do not respond to many vegans that did videos about me There are many videos about me on the internet and people talk shit But I'm not gonna put their name into my youtube titles or descriptions any longer I do not want to promote that division and I do not want to promote their mediocre channels either. I want to move on We have to understand what we as humans need to do and it is complicated and I get that We all have flawed perspectives. I'm not coming to you with a complete understanding of life I am God listen to me, right? It's bullshit. We're all just little humans trying to figure shit out It is what it is and we can all find comfort in certain ideologies for one. It can be veganism for another It can be religion for another one. It can be sport Whatever works for you and therefore we will have to understand what truly works for us with no dogma with no belief system with no label And this what this channel is about. This is why I open up that discussion I want to be transparent with you guys I want to explain and share how I saw the world as a vegan How I saw meat as a vegan if you find this video interesting Let me know in the comment section down below and I will further explain my perspective as a past vegan I will explain why I chose veganism to begin with and why I quit veganism ultimately people I really think it is necessary to open up that dialogue But to open it up truly. I'm not here on YouTube to waste my time and talk to ideologues. I'm over it guys I'm not gonna sit here and debate how great or bad veganism is. I couldn't care less man It is pretty blatantly obvious once you reach that realization You will see that veganism is destructive now We have to understand why we are drawn to it now We will have to understand why we are drawn to technology now We will have to understand why we have certain predispositions and Certain dislikes as humans why we perceive gore as bad why we perceive Suffering at all all of those topics are an interest of mine and I want to enhance this perspective and move further So guys the video is long enough. I'm gonna cut it off here.
