Hype, I’m glad they release albums shortly after they announce them - feels like so many bands are like “NEW ALBUM out in 6 months” haha.
Common mistake, but plants are not moral subjects. If you harm any animal, even an insect, it will respond in ways that you or I would; fleeing, retaliating, or generally just panicking. I think you already understand that plants do not (although they do have biochemical adaptations to sense and respond to stress).
Nobody is saying that fish are moral agents that can empathise with other beings. That doesn’t man that they’re not moral subjects; the ability to understand that one is causing harm is not a prerequisite for the ability to suffer oneself. I think everyone knows this intuitively, but it does feel good to have our less moral habits be justified by memes that we would otherwise find to be illogical.
Man, the boys never dissapoint. Every album I go in expecting that maybe this time it won’t gel with me but I’ve loved everything (even vibed with Timeland heaps).
Enjoyed the style and the whole concept of this one. Motor Spirit was a very strong start, and I liked Supercell -> Witchcraft but it hasn’t really clicked yet. But Gila Monster -> Flamethrower is some of the best stuff this band has done, holy shit. And to think there’s another album around the corner…
(Nerd warning) So awesome to see strigolactones on lemmy. Any other strigolactone researchers out there? I mostly work on the receptor protein D14.
