    There is no morality with true hunger. Most people in today’s world have never experienced real hunger. We all know what its like when we get to lunch, and our last meal was 18 hours ago. Hangry is real. Now imagine 18 days with nothing, or even 18 weeks with less than 200 calories a day? It changes your psychology. We are moral when it suits us. We are viscous when it suits us. I hope I never have to experience that.

    The most interesting part of this video for me was learning about cannibalism in chimps. As the species most closely related to us humans, it is easy to see how certain behaviors manifest in them that we have in common. Personally, I'd love to see a video exploring the chimp symbolism briefly touched on. The seeming reverence for lightning, wildfire, etc., almost seems like a proto-belief system.

    No, a bunch of stupid Americans finally got the memo and figured out that buying a piece of paper over the internet doesn’t actually make you a member of the nobility in another country. Everyone else already knew that. Established Titles is a GAG GIFT, and it’s perfectly legal. If Established Titles was a scam, and was defrauding people, it would be ILLEGAL and already have been prosecuted by the Justice System. But they’re not. And they haven’t. Because they’re not a scam. Selling people a product that most people would regard as a waste of money, is not illegal. People are perfectly free to sell stupid things and buy stupid things. It’s a free market. Get over it.

    Historic evidence like in the video just goes to show that under the veneer of society and cultural norms, we are still primal, animalistic beings. When i hear stories about people lost in the wilderness or cannibalism, it's an uncomfortable reminder how close we are to our primal roots even today.

    Are you recording the audio in audacity? If so you get can get rid of that fuzzy static. Just record some silence where you aren’t talking before you start recording your voice, then highlight the silence, go to noise reduction, hit get noise profile, then highlight the whole track, go back to noise reduction and I think hit apply. That will get rid of the static, and will especially help when you cut up the voice track in editing.

Each individual culture would likely be shocked or disgusted by the practices of the others, ourselves very much included!

I believe everything can and should be discussed constructively. There's always something more to learn. Some Himlayan peoples are known to ritualistically cut their deceased into pieces and feed them to vultures, as they have no other way of disposing of the bodies in a sanitary way - dead bodies breed diseases. Are there any examples out there of analogue "sanitary cannibalism"? It could potentially be a 5th category.

    I have been asked whether I would eat another human out of hunger. When I replied that I would it was very interesting to see that other people that were totally against cannibalism would change their opinions and say it would be alright to thence eat me, though still not eat others. This conversation has occurred three times with different sets of people. So, what can I deduce from these responses? 1. Opinions are never set in stone. 2. Cannibalism may come down to the opinion (fleeting or otherwise) that one has of the entity that is to become one's next meal. 3. Sometimes it comes down to whether one thinks they are given permission, of sorts, that allows them to partake in a practice, or possibly any practice.. Interesting vid. Thanks

Whether or not rights exist objectively is secondary to whether or not a society can agree to recognize them. Even consensual cannibalism might be made illegal in a society that doesn't cast moral judgment on the basic premise of cannibalism. Why? Because concerns over ability to actually give consent might trump 'muh freedumbz'. The fact that there's people who might seek to make a point that overall just seems like contrarian edgelord behaviour doesn't mean we can't treat them as such.

After all, both of these practices have been widely documented throughout history. Are we really willing to say there is nothing "objectively wrong" about them? We can, in fact, come up with objective criteria for whether certain practices are right or wrong; for example, whether they needlessly harm other human beings. Not everyone may agree on those criteria, of course, which I think is what you were trying to say in the first place, but we must not make that argument carelessly.
