Thanks for this thoughtful and expansive post, it really succeeds as an invitation to think about animal advocacy under radically different economic conditions. I appreciated how it foregrounds questions over predictions, especially around how cultural narratives, institutional inertia and new leverage points like attention and moral imagination might shape the future of factory farming.
This connects closely to research I’m currently doing on how different economic paradigms may reduce (or risk entrenching) animal exploitation (I hope to share a Forum piece on it soonish).
Your piece helped clarify some key gaps in current discourse, particularly around AI-aligned paradigms where animals are often entirely absent unless explicitly centred.
I particularly appreciated your attention to asymmetrical strategies and the need for advocacy to remain relevant in a landscape where labour and funding may be less of a bottleneck, but attention and narrative become the scarce resources.
It’s exciting to see this kind of cross-paradigm, long-view thinking on the Forum. I hope we see more of it!
