No, in ground-up form you can ship much more bug protein than meat because you are transporting a lot of water (and refridgeration tech) with that meat. Not to even speak of transporting animals, especially live ones, which is a suffering desaster in and of itself.

> The thing is, this stuff is more expensive than normal meat

That's only because we are "subsidising" meat production cost through immense animal suffering. Once you have regulations that make the animals we keep in captivity have a somewhat good life, then meat price goes through the roof and those alternatives are the only reasonable option for the non-rich.

> And if they replace meat consumption then it puts even more stress on the agricultural land that can actually grow vegetable crops, which is only about a quarter of all farm land.

And where do you think the animal food is grown? Instead of feeding it to animals, make veggy dishes out of it.

It's true that some land can't be reasonably used for growing and harvesting crops, and keeping animals there which turn this into high quality protein is the best option, but that's only for certain regions on the planet.

Keep in mind the potential to create false accusations by fabricating similar looking accounts.

Don't need multiple dimensions for that.

0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 1.0, 2.0

To 2.0, 1.0 is closest.

To 1.0, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1 are closer.

The word you are looking for is "symmetric".

Fun exercise would be to find all accounts that suddenly stopped posting around today and correllate them with new accounts created around today.

All those scared folks who naively think that it's not too late yet. Busted.
