This really struck a chord with me. I know exactly that feeling — being surrounded by people who care just as deeply, who see what you see and feel what you feel. A place where you're surrounded by people who are heartbroken by the world’s treatment of animals, yet fiercely determined to change it. It's so comforting and inspiring to be in a space like that.

I was sorry not to be there this time and totally agree — the East Coast would be much more doable for those of us coming from Europe!

Thank you Tobias for giving on honest reflection on the Animal Rights Movement/Summit. I value your opinion!

Thanks, Tobias. Good stuff as always (especially the "ultra-processed" bit).

I can only hope that someday, the "summit" is about helping animals, full stop.

Good write up! I heard you did a really captivating interview with some super famous successful influencer too? Exciting stuff.

Was really nice to meet you, Tobias, and I couldn't agree more. Felt almost like a temporary hallucination where the world looked as I wished it would. Was great chatting with you about old Lucasarts adventure games. Here's my Substack btw, which I forgot to send you :) https://giantmecha.substack.com

I agree with you, Tobias, on your point about Division and Distraction. At the same time, I'm a fan of intersectionalism (but not sweet muffins). How do you see intersectionalism being balanced with legitimate concerns over division and distraction?
