Systems thinking | leviv.cool

This week I read a very engaging blog post that examined from a systems thinking perspective the protest of GMO crop experiments in the United Kingdom. Even though it was written in 2012, I really liked the approach.

curious what might be the difference between honoring the skeleton/bones of an animal/pet vs full on taxidermy? honoring burial sites of animals vs this maybe new(ish)er form of posthumous manipulation

[angaxelrode]

im very curious about the research / review boards from the scientists considering the many forms of confirmation bias built into the scientific method. can send a reading link ab this

@angaxelrode why don't we honor our friends and family by creating taxidermy mounts of their bodies? Museums for centuries kept stolen skeletons and bodies of indigenous people and that was rightfully called out as being completely unethical. I think it's clearer with humans that this is a commodification that does not show respect to bodily autonomy and why it is different from a burial site.
