I want to adhere to forum norms and maintain a high quality in my posts, but this is tempting me to throw all that out the window. Of course, I will read a summary if one is provided, but going over these chapter titles, this book could just as well be a caricature of wokeness. Prioritizing Black Vegans? Queer Eye on the EA Guys? The celebratory quote complaining about white males getting it all wrong? Not to mention chapter 11 sounds seriously reminiscent of degrowthers. “Sure, alternative proteins ended factory farming, but they didn’t overthrow capitalism.”
My priors on this having any value to the goal of doing the most good are incredibly low.
The Black Vegans one is about different consumer price elasticities between racial groups along various axises.
Queer Eye on the EA Guys is about different measures of animal suffering and coordination between EA and animal activists broadly.
Chapter 11 I also expected to be about degrowthers but it’s about regulatory capture and Jevon’s paradox.
Moreover, I think naming conventions for left-wing texts just have this effect. It depends on how the audience pattern-matches I guess. Also Queer Eye on the EA Guys is just a funny pun. It’s an interesting read for me personally at least. I don’t think it changed any of my opinions or actions.
