Why we shouldn't rewild land
Rewilding is the process of converting fairly substantial tracts of industrial land back into nature. What once was farmland or a logging area returns to its natural state. The consensus among most people tends to be that it’s a pretty uncontroversially good idea. This consensus, I think, is badly wrong. Rewilding is extremely immoral worse than almost any other thing we do and we should refrain from it barring exceptional circumstances.
What’s so bad about rewilding? The basic case against is that it majorly increases wild animal suffering. If we assume wild animals are spread uniformly across Earth’s land, then each square mile of land contains 1,754-17,540 mammals, 1,754-1,754,000 reptiles, and 1,754-1,754,000 amphibians.

Where things get really extreme is with insects.
On average, a square foot of land contains about 750 insects. https://reducing-suffering.org/the-importance-of-insect-suffering/ This means that if you rewild a square mile of land, over the course of a year, 20.9 billion additional insect life-years will be lived. If we assume that each insect lives two weeks a fairly reasonable https://benthams.substack.com/p/there-should-be-less-nature?utm_source=publication-search estimate then a mile of rewilded land produces about 585,480,000,000 (five-hundred-eighty-five-billion-four-hundred-eighty-million) extra insect lives and deaths annually.

General thread for freediving and/or spearfishing, since I don't see one mentioning either.
My personal questions:
I've been thinking about taking a certification course so I can learn to do these things correctly and safely. I'm probably happy just doing the diving, but spearfishing seems like an easy and practical extension. I only casually skindive and rod-and-reel fish at the moment. Does anyone have experience taking such a course?
I know I'll need my own gear early on, but each instructor I can find seems to have their own equipment shops, so I imagine they wouldn't be impartial about the quality of other gear on the market. I live on the Pacific coast of the US, so I see that a 7 mm open cell wetsuit is strongly recommended. What good/bad features should I look out for on wetsuits and other equipment? For non-competitive diving, carbon fiber fins are almost certainly not worth the price, right?

Been a while since we've had an EDC thread.
What are some things you always carry with you? Got any new gear recently? Knife? Flashlight? Tactical spork?
I've been wanting to put together a little edc first aid kit, not like my actual hiking first aid kit, just smaller things I might need on the day to day. But I havnt really settled on a pouch yet, or, if I should get a small plastic tupperware container because it's waterproof and I hear things like bandaids can get roughed up pretty easily in a pouch
