Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

EA games is like the dark lord sauron, and the gaming consumer demographic is like gollum.
Sauron makes the precious.
Gollum loves and hates the precious.

Wikipedia says that human flesh production is about 350 million tons annually, whereas steel production is 1547.8 million tons annually (as of 2012).

....I can't decide whether or not to be disturbed that someone has calculated annual human flesh production.

Remember, knowledge is power. The power to make other people feel stupid.
Quote from: Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Science is like an inoculation against charlatans who would have you believe whatever it is they tell you.

Also, human meat production is not optimised. There's huge efficiency gains to be had by selective breeding and a carefully calibrated dietary and reproductive cycle!

I just can't wait until we have artificially-grown meat so I can eat humans without the whole ethical conundrum of "having to kill or at least maim a human" to get the meat.

... Also other meats too.

That's... actually really interesting, and I hadn't thought of that. Because, yeah, we can create In Vitro Meat, and have even made a burger with it that tasted pretty decent (though was incredibly expensive, since it was a test-burger, grown in the lab with the loving care of scientists, rather than industrially produced)... Which does mean you could create a line of human meat products for sale.

Descan, have you considered grave robbing?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

A problem with cannibalism is however that it carries an increased risk of prion diseases.
