I am Anatoly Karlin, an intelligence blogger and researcher.

I have just been made aware of an anti-vegan troll posting under my name. I have nothing to do with it. I have reasons to believe it's from a persistent stalker of mine.

PS. Actually on this note here is my actual position on animal rights. I think the distinction should focus more on the cognitive capacity of animals, which is likely to be correlated to their capacity to suffer. So, my guess is that eating pork is very bad, since pigs are smart, whereas eating beef is much better (cattle are less smart and much bigger), and eating fish let alone things like crabs or lobsters with just 100,000 neurons is basically completely fine. But either way I strongly support lab-grown meat and denounce attempts to criminalize this industry as we see in Meloni's Italy and Desantis' Florida. I respect vegetarians and vegans, though I do not think a vegan diet is healthy without very fine tuned and aggressive supplementation.
