34. There’s no silver bullet to ending factory farming — not cultivated meat, not veganism, not welfare reforms, not brain-dead chickens. It makes sense for individual advocates to focus on their one solution. But as a movement, we want as many shots on goal as possible — and all the better if they’re uncorrelated.
The idea of pursuing 'as many shots on goal as possible' and favouring approaches that are 'uncorrelated.' This seems to imply a portfolio strategy where multiple interventions are pursued because they operate through different mechanisms and therefore have different risks of failure. I would be happy to read about what counts as an uncorrelated strategy in this context, how these approaches might complement or conflict with one another, and what this means for the allocation of movement resources and priorities.
