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.

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.

Speaking with young people is important because many of their key ethical decisions are still ahead of them.

Thank you to Sungkyunkwan University for inviting me to share my thoughts on what it takes to live an ethical life.

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

#AI is already shaping the future of animals—and if it runs factory farms, billions of lives could be controlled by these systems.
