The „Plant Based Symposium“ starts on August 21st as a series of free YouTube videos about the health benefits of a plant-based diet. For the first time many of the best known plant-based physicians, scientists and dietitians as well as other important spokespersons of the plant-based movement were invited to share their knowledge with everyone. Starting on August 21st there will be a free video released every second day.
In Video #14 of The Plant Based Symposium Nick Cooney shares important information about the following topics:
1. The use of effective altruism in animal advocacy.
2. The dangers of the standard charity advice to simply „follow your passion“.
3. Important tools to change peoples opinions and actions in terms of animal abuse:
– expectation vs reality
– story vs statistics
– The „Best Request“
– The „Foot in the door“ principle
– „How“ is more important than „Why“
4. Important considerations when talking to people about veganism.
5. Nick’s key message to all animal advocates.
