@jiaaro The thousands of species going extinct every year might object to that :P. What kind of species are you thinking about? Dogs, cats?

@jiaaro E.g. failing to domesticate zebras. Yes, they have "problems." But it's odd (in a sense) that we can't route around those problems.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KevinSimler I'd be interested to hear your take on patreon et al - why do people donate (effectively) anonymously to things?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@jiaaro 1. Not totally anonymous. People discuss with their friends, post to FB, etc. 2. Paying for extra access/affiliation.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@jiaaro 2 (contd) Patreon does newsletter-type things, right? 3. Our instincts are misplaced here. It's not actually in our self-interest...1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
