It’s important to emphasise how much our actions as a movement influence those odds. We’re not just bystanders, our strategies, dedication, and execution all play a role. That’s why I’ve given a range of probabilities based on the actions we take as a movement. Each individual member has the power to decide their level of contribution—0% or 100%—so that probability is something everyone can decide for themselves.
You’re right about the balance needed with optimism. Over-optimism about one solution, like cultivated meat, can hinder exploration of other options. But optimism about our overall goal is a different story. It leads to self-fulfilling prophecies: if we don’t believe ending factory farming is possible, we automatically decrease the probability. But if we believe it’s possible and that our actions determine the outcome, we massively increase our chances of success.
Yes, I use an LLM for almost everything I write. I usually draft my ideas and then refine them through a conversation with the LLM, making them clearer and easier to understand. This saves me time and improves the quality of my writing. I’m also autistic and sometimes find it challenging to get the right tone across in my writing, and LLMs helps me with that too.
