Brinens and Things

transgenderer:

Concept: saying grace, but instead of thanking God, you thank industrial agriculture (or the millions of people who contributed to its development and maintenance, or perhaps the first person to take each step, the first planter, the first plower, etc)

binary-bluejay:

Saying thanks to Fritz Haber and caveating “This would be much more enthusiastic if you hadn’t been enthusiastically responsible for war crimes but you’ve so far still probably been a net good”

oscillatingheatpipe:

The Rationalist Seder version of the Dayenu song kinda does this:

Had we severed law from vengeance,

but not learned to bake and slice bread,

but not learned to bake and slice bread, Dayenu!

Had we learned to bake and slice bread,

but not mapped out all Earth’s surface,

but not mapped out all Earth’s surface, Lo Dayenu!

Had we mapped out all Earth’s surface,

but not crafted printing presses,

but not crafted printing presses, Dayenu!

Had we crafted printing presses,

but not named the rights of humans,

but not named the rights of humans, Lo Dayenu!

Etc.
