To foster personal growth and understanding, actively seek conversations with people you disagree with, following the principle, 'I don't like that man, so I must get to know him.'.
Prioritize progress over purity in social movements
Social movements can be harmed by a 'purity' mindset that rejects impactful progress, such as cellular agriculture, simply because it isn't a perfect solution.
Reframe plant-based eating by recognizing existing vegan foods
A useful way to introduce plant-based eating is to reframe it by pointing out that people already eat many vegan foods like pasta, potatoes, and vegetables.
Investigate plant-based diets' effects on veterans' health
A new documentary project is being paired with a large-scale scientific study on the impact of plant-based diets on veterans' physical and mental health, in consultation with Stanford's Professor Gardner.
