thank you Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor
for his role in Joker his first Academy
Award
he spoke passionately about injustice
against people of all kinds animal
rights and about our disconnect with the
natural world I've been thinking a lot
about some of the distressing issues
that we are facing collectively and I
think at times we feel or were made to
feel that we champion different causes
but for me I see commonality many of us
what we're guilty of is an egocentric
worldview the belief that were the
center of the universe we go into the
natural world and we plunder it for its
resources we feel entitled to
artificially inseminate a cow and when
she gives birth we steal her baby even
though her cries of anguish are
unmistakable and then we take her milk
that's intended for a calf and we put it
in our coffee and our cereal Renee
