came across this thread trying to learn something about bonsai trees and all I found was hypocrisy. let me explain:
you guys seem to have no trouble with mutilation, distortion, torture etc but when it comes to indoor bonsai, that's where you draw the line? I'm not saying you're wrong but putting a tree in a pot isn't exactly natural either because it's not grounded anymore either. the pot essentially is "indoors" for the tree itself. guess what: we probably aren't supposed to live indoors either, we're part of nature are we not?
so this whole jabbadabiddibi about "dry air", "no airflow", "99.9% does not equal impossible" and "you're not wearing sunglasses indoors" is all a bunch of people talking about the way they perceive the world, in other words a lot of unknowns. at the end of the day everything is made of quarks and atoms, infinite space in between those and various frequencies holding them together, flowing through them -like schumann resonances- or certain ones propagating bloom while others inhibitting their cell division.
what I'm trying to say is you're bonsaiing your notion of morals into a pot that suits your standpoints based on beliefs or business concepts, critizicing some people while at the same time putting yourselves on pedestles or moral high grounds. it's a bit fascist if you think about it (of a mild degree compared to other variants).
here's something to ponder about: if I cut a bit of a tree, a tiny branch, and make it grow somewhere else - is it still the same tree or is it another "entity"?
who cares, it's just cell division, vibration and cancer. we came from space dust and this is not a real problem.
