    To take this further, the world is way too big and complex and nuanced for anyone to know even a fraction of the things about all the things.

    A lot of times even some single thing is too big and complex to know a fraction about. Yet too many people assume they know things without ever questioning their knowledge; maybe because it's more comfortable that way.

    Since I plan to make a new techno mix soon, I wanted to get back into my music library again, and these are some tracks that stood out.

    Johannes Heil - Gospel Thirteen
    Cleric - Distant Cry
    Introversion - Overnight
    Emmanuel - All Killer No Filler

    Cleric in particular has never disappointed me so far. Their songs are always atmospheric and capturing to me.

    This is not a valid argument in my opinion, as we don't need to hunt to survive; humans are past the point where they'd have to eat an antelope alive. I'm not sure what to think of either of those...

    Well, tell that to a group of hyenas eating an antelope that is still alive...

    This is not a valid argument in my opinion, as we don't need to hunt to survive; humans are past the point where they'd have to eat an antelope alive.

    I'm not sure what to think of either of those options since I have not heard of a case where introducing new wildlife to keep other predators in check has not had unfavorable repercussions yet, and I also don't know if making kangaroos open game won't endanger them in some way.

    However, I'm always in favor of planting trees, and the idea does make sense to me.
    Keep in mind that this is a totally uneducated opinion, environmental issues are often a mystery to me.

    Thanks for reminding me about System of a Down! My taste in music has changed a lot since I last listened to them, but I still love SOAD.
