Consider The #Turkey: philosopherβs new book might put you off your festive bird β and thatβs exactly what he would want - Australian #philosopher #PeterSinger has been a champion of animal rights for more than 50 years. His basic philosophical position has remained the same: the suffering of animals is just as important as the suffering of human beings. https://theconversation.com/consider-the-turkey-philosophers-new-book-might-put-you-off-your-festive-bird-and-thats-exactly-what-he-would-want-245500 #sentient #vegetarian #animalwelfare #animalrights #ethics

"climate protesters blocking 1000's of people fr driving their kids to school or going to work is more ethically worrisome than disrupting e routine of those w power to reduce #greenhousegas emissions.. #politicians & #bureaucrats in their official capacity .. #Unethical #activism, even when nonviolent, can easily spur counter-protests tt spiral to violence. The principle of #proportionality can serve as a useful guide to factors tt protesters shld consider"

CW: NSFW: Philosophy
This next part is a cognitohazard that Philosophy Grads argue about, so don't worry about it: it's just a dude's opinion.
So fast forward like 2500 years, to the 1970s, where #PeterSinger, one of the major #ethics philosophers of our time, wrote an infamous paper called "#Famine, #Affluence, And #Morality" in which he proposed that it was wrong to partake in luxuries, or in general to spend money that you didn't need to spend, was LITERALLY EVIL, because you should be getting that money to charities like UNICEF to fight starvation in the third world. This, he argued, was choosing mild comforts over the lives of others, and that our society is fundamentally flawed for considering charity to be a nice thing when chooses to do and not a moral obligation.
There are a few problems with the notion, including the one we throw at #Bostron and his #EffectiveAltruism crime-cult, lack of Systemic awareness, but the underlying ideas are sound enough that it's a valid argument.
