I get that. I don’t think I’ll ever go fully vegan but I’ve become much more conscious about what I eat. Much more lentils and good rice and dates and stuff like that. See what happens.
Did you also have the impression while tripping how obviously wrong, bad and really unhealthy heavily processed stuff tasted? Or more like a philosophical experience?
It was a purely philosophical experience in which I lost all believe into gods and artificial distinctions between humans and other animals. I cannot come with any reason, why eating humans must be wrong, but eating a cow should be okay.
So I decided, that harming either of them must be wrong and my ability for compassion had to extent further than my own species.
There is no God to tell my how to be good. I have to decide for myself and I decided to inflict less harm on my fellow earthlings.
You can also come to the conclusion that eating humans is okay haha.
I joke, of course.
Interestingly, I’ve never really believed in any deity because it never made any sense to me. Now I’m inclined to worship Gaia, the God we live in. I’m not religious, but worshipping our ecosystem just makes sense.
Free will is an interesting concept and I think the way it’s usually used is just wrong or misunderstandable. I don’t think there is a free will, but I get the sense there is some kind of will inside me and I have to find out what my inner self really wants, or better: needs. I think the freedom to pursue that inner will is what “free will” really means.

It did cross my mind, but i won’t be declaring myself food, so this is easily dismissed. 😆
but worshipping our ecosystem just makes sense.
Or at minimum handing it over in good condition to the next generations, instead of wreaking everything left and right.

What i wanted to say is, that choice is an illusion.
LSD made me vegan.

Also, there is no free will.
