One question examined in the psychology of eating meat has been termed the meat paradox: "How can individuals care about animals, but also eat them?" [ 48 ] [ 49 ] Internal dissonance can be created if people's beliefs and emotions about animal treatment do not match their eating behavior, although it may not always be subjectively perceived as ...
While meat eaters may have an inner conflict about the killing of animals for their food, this explanation of vegaphobia may not hold up to environmental reasons for avoiding meat. Environmentalist meat eaters may not see a conflict in eating meat because they see their individual environmental impact of meat consumption as low.
Skolem's paradox: Countably infinite models of set theory contain sets that are uncountable in the sense of the model. Zeno's paradoxes: "You will never reach point B from point A as you must always get half-way there, and half of the half, and half of that half, and so on." (This is also a physical paradox.) Supertasks may result in paradoxes ...
Carnism is a concept used in discussions of humanity's relation to other animals, defined as a prevailing ideology in which people support the use and consumption of animal products, especially meat.
I agree that carnism theorists only pay attention to a subset of meat psychology (‘’viz.’’ the meat paradox and mechanisms for its resolution), and tend to interpret it in a way consistent with the disputed ethical premise that meat-eating is ordinarily immoral. Our carnism article reflects this, appropriately, per WP:DUE and WP:OPINION.
It unifies behavioral, cognitive, and psychodynamic orientations under a single umbrella theory and is a science-based model showing how treating secondary (less problematic) behaviors (i.e.: anger, low self-esteem, poor social skills, etc.) will then impact primary targeted volatile or criminal type behaviors (i.e.: violence, problematic ...
In episode 7 of the 10th season of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Amy discuss the history of Buridan's ass (renamed donkey), and its application to their lives. Amy resolves the paradox (of Sheldon desiring to live in different apartments) by creating a more desirable option by engaging Sheldon in a discussion of the theory and its history.
Animal rights writer Henry S. Salt termed the replaceability argument the "logic of the larder".. In 1789, the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham endorsed a variant of the argument, contending that painlessly killing a nonhuman animal is beneficial for everyone because it does not harm the animal and the consumers of the meat produced from the animal's body are better off as a result.
