For Advait Paliwal, Brown dropout and co-creator of Einstein, there isn’t one. “I think about horses,” he said. “They used to pull carriages, but when cars came around, I'd argue horses became a lot more free,”

No, they didn’t become more free. They became unnecessary and were sold by the millions for food. The peak of the horse population was just shy of 22 million animals around 1910 and has fallen to 2 million today.

This guy’s an idiot, who would relegate millions of people to ignorance and ultimately irrelevance as they are left behind in greater numbers in an economy that demands ever more amounts of actual intelligence to thrive in.

Jesus, what a fool.

    Wait really? For a window of time, we had horse meat on the menu?

    I think you can buy a horse steak in most western countries, although most regular grocery stores don't carry it. You'd need to go to a butcher or a higher end store.

    I bought a cut of horse steak in Norway around 2005. I haven't really looked for it since, so I don't know if they stopped selling it. It's often mixed into sausages as well, but labeled in a less obvious way.

    Right? I've had moose, bear, cow, caribou, octopus, squid, chicken, deer, roadkill, pig and sheep. I've been responsible for more animal deaths than a PETA animal shelter. I'd try the horse and then I'd only need reindeer to complete the punch card and I get some puma or screech owls or something ...right?
