Is speciesism just another -ism? 🐾

Peter Singer argues animal liberation is analogous to fights for racial and gender justice. Equal consideration, not equal treatment (no, dogs don’t get the vote 🐶🗳️).

The fact that effective altruism is now being discussed so prominently is significant because it puts a fundamental moral question in front of a much wider audience: what do we owe to others?

One unexpected consequence of the drowning-child thought experiment: it has kept artists supplied with material for decades.
I’m glad to see utilitarianism contributing to the artistic economy.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people.

I’m sharing what happened because I suspect this problem will only become more difficult as search, social media and AI increasingly shape what people come to believe.

Billions of animals are confined, mutilated, and killed because their suffering is treated as less important than our taste.
In this interview with @bigthink.com, I argue that species membership is not what makes suffering matter.

9 in 10 children in the world’s poorest countries cannot read this sentence.

In my new Substack issue, I look at why the global education crisis is not quite the crisis many of us think it is, and why some solutions are remarkably effective.

No surprise that #PeterSinger is first on this list.

27 years ago I wrote to every member of the Board of Trustees at #PrincetonUniversity about the #Ableist Prof.

He’s the guy who said that parents should be able to kill their baby with #IntellectualDisabilities up to 30 days after birth! 🤮
There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.
