I listed in descending order of importance. I might be confused for one of those “hyper rationalist” types in many instances. I think rationalist undervalue the cognitive dissonance. In my experience, a lot of rationalists just don’t value non human animals. Even rationalists behave in a much more “vibes” based way than they’d have you believe. It really is hard to hold in your head both “it’s okay to eat animals” and “we can avert tremendous amounts of suffering to hundreds of animals per dollar and have a moral compulsion to do so”.
I also wouldn’t call what I do virtue signaling. I never forthright tell people and I live in a very conservative part of the world.
Two of your reasons to go vegan involve getting to tell others you are vegan. I find this pretty dishonest because I assume you aren’t telling them this.
It’s not about telling others I’m vegan. It’s about telling them that I think non human animals are worthy of moral consideration. I also tell people that I donate to animal welfare charities and even which ones.
