I honestly can’t fathom the gall of Peter Singer. He’s the virtue signaler par excellence, and we’re partially at fault for caring about what he wrote in the first place. It’s not like what he wrote would have been laughed out the building in the early 1900’s but rather completely ignored, which is the only appropriate response to this character.

Singer's a retard. A true utilitarian society, which takes into account the utility of animals, would have humane farms as opposed to no farms or cruel farms.

Peter Singer is the most successful philosopher of morality there is a this point. Nobody has such a widespread positive impact on the welfare of so many, or been as successful at correclty revealing the hypocrisy and hollowness of so many moral systems.

If the existence of such a farm would generate greater utility than a world in which the farm did not exist, then yes. I doubt it would, but if it could, then it should.

>> No.15383036

Singer is an abominable philosopher. He's an activist that went into philosophy to advance his own political beliefs. Read his supervisor, R.M. Hare, instead. He's a much better version of Singer.

"now follow my asinine morality system"

i hate this shit. either believe in a permanent, fixed moral milieu or believe that everything is permitted and act accordingly. this halfway cowardice is incredibly stupid.

His and every other academic's reliance on formal argumentative logic is just another form of pure ideology (synonymous in 4chan lingo with "autism").

No one has actually been convinced by a watertight argument, no one. And if they did, that merely means their convictions weren't set in stone yet, and could just as easily been turned to the opposition by another
