opp will contribute to rigorous discussion of these matters in part through openness to different genres, styles and themes.
the aim is to make room for the possibility of strengthening, broadening or contesting our interpretative frameworks and field of consideration.”

Are we obligated to remedy injustice across borders? - Oxford Public Philosophy Discussion
I'm not a native English speaker. Be better to me if the subtitle were in english.
this talk is reaaally good. much to think about.
Love her history of the BPP and her respect for BLA. The State uses public monies to pay off the familial survivors of assassinations, of racially based MURDERS. Think about that listeners. Bounty. And thank you Dr. James for not focusing on our suffering but on our justifiable resistance.
Let me tell you the best way to think is practically. Always do what makes the most sense at the time and always be ready to adjust your actions to suit your reality. It doesn't matter if you black or white act always for the good of self,family and community and you'll always be fine.

Absolutely fascinating talk, Sam!
Around 18 minutes, what does it matter if it "obscures" the systemic nature of global misery? Philosophers can analyslze problems all they like, but it will not make an impact until there is a healthful response,which includes making a direct contribution with money or your own direct action. If people want to quit their jobs and make a meager wage but create the best impact, that is also cool. But most people would find it more rewarding to believe that the money they have been earning, whatever they do to earn it, has not been a waste and that it can make an impact. Peter Singer is way more plain spoken, but will keep listeneing tonsee if I get the point. However, out of these IV league instituions is where I hear some of the most inconsiderable arguments about ethics.
I thought you were going to say that monogamy was capitalist. It is patriarchal first and foremost.
Let me see how much I can endure until I switch to Tommy Curry
oh hell yes thank you
“A space cannot be open and successful without bejng in solidarity with BLM.” Response: Not necessarily. Loyalty to a group should never be unconditional.
This comment aged well.
Brilliant presentation!
Hello brother, long time... am Tabitha Imbo from Kenya. We miss you

PLEASE make a 5min version of this! I really want to spread the word, but this is a TERRIBLE piece of media I can share with people which they'll actually listen in...
Crary is right. And yes, Thanos is a longtermist - perfect. EA was bad to begin with, but longtermism is worse: tech mogul transhumanism with pseudo-ethical varnish.
You gotta love that lazy way of asking questions. 31:38 "You mentioned XYZ, I want you to talk more about that". Why not trying to be prepared and conceptualize a real question instead of letting the speaker do all the work for you?
It’s not necessarily laziness; that’s a perfect way to ask for the speaker to expand on something interesting or noteworthy.
Good evening Ma'am How can I contact to you. I need your help Ma'am
Reminds me of Keisha Lance bottoms crying on TV cause she didn't run for a second term. Then get on cnn as a commentator and in the biden administration!?
is there anyway i could get these slides ?
TLDR: EA is not SJW-ish enough to her taste
No, it's just that EA in general is too dependent on philathropy than on systemic change
@@geekymedia1614 institutional / structural / systemic, whatever that means in effect.
24:36 Are you kidding? She basically says the exact opposite. Essentially, "SJW"-style reforms within EA amount to little more than virtue signaling since they still exclude any perspectives that could challenge their basic, moral epistemology.
oooooooooo did I just find my new favorite contemporary political philosopher? I think I did! This talk is bad fuckin ass
You and me both! This intellect is giving me life. Her voice, her reasoning, the evidence of her compassion for the least among us is as Clear as a bell! Wake up everybody.
Absolutely LOVED this lecture. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Ha! Nice to see you here! Prof. Nkuru popped on to my radar while I was looking into Oyeronke Oyewumi. This is a brilliant lecture, indeed.
Straight white men built the modern world. Just say "thank you", enjoy your benefits, and shut your mouth.
Thank you daddy am steve imbo your son from kenya
One of the most meaningful explanations of African Philosophy I have ever heard.
I have a video talking about how intersectionality FUELS carceral feminism.
What is this bullshit with BLM? Introduced with a nonsequitur if there ever was one!
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you both so much. Looking forward to reading your book.
A lot of this I really tried to understand, but only just barely got some parts of it. Some points I think are misleading. For instance, while it may be true that certain animal advocacy organizations have received less money as a result of EA, as a whole, I think EA has greatly increased the amount of money donated to these kinds of organizations. As for the philosophical critique: say we grant that morality is determined by specific social context. Why does this evade all numerical consequentialist reasoning? Surely murdering both your neighbors is worse than murdering just one? Ethics insensitive to scope just seems absurd. Forgive me, but I get a sense that this critique comes from a position mathematical phobia- a suspicion that numerical reasoning will dull our passions. But this is not so: we can still love our neighbors, all while calculating how we might better serve our more spatiotemporally distant brethren, and feel a sense of moral wonder and love throughout. Basically, I’m unclear why this other way of looking at values is incompatible with numerical consequentialist reasoning. Perhaps this may be due to my own naïveté. I am moved by the suffering of sentient life because I have lived and suffered and made friends and forgiven foes. My consequentialist morality is motivated by my social nature- where is the incompatibility?
I think you missed the central point of the philosophical critique. The argument is not that we should dismiss the calculus of consequences as a morally relevant factor in decision making. The problem is in believing that this calculus is the only thing that determines what is good in an action. When we only take into consideration the calculus of the consequences of our actions we run into at least two problems. 1. That it is then only possible to consider valuable what is quantifiable, and 2. Our urgency to maximise "utility" can lead us to neglect our particular moral obligations. Of course a utilitarian might say that there is no other kind of moral obligation than to maximise utility (either pleasure, or preferences). But many AEs assume that you don't have to be a utilitarian to accept the demands of charity. In other words, being an AE does require a serious commitment to the moral and epistemological principles of utilitarianism (a moral doctrine that I for one find hardly defensible).
@@comounrayo What you say makes sense, I'm just not sure this is exactly what she said in the video haha :P Granted, it has been a week since I watched it. As for 1), I suspect that everything we care about is, to at least some extent, or in principle, quantifiable. Like, it would be silly to say "this piece of music is 17 beautiful", but we can reasonably say "if we lowered the tempo here, it would be less beautiful" or "if we had more music schools, we'd have more pieces of beautiful music". Statements like these are less precise, but they are still numerical. They lend themselves to consequentialist reasoning. As for 2), if this is a critique of consequentialism done badly, then that's really a critique of particular people, not the theory itself. But if it is instead the claim that "sometimes, we ought not maximize utility", I would say a) expand your definition of utility to include what you think it leaves out (beauty, keeping promises, etc.), or b) very well: don't always try to maximize utility. However, this doesn't mean that we should never try to maximize utility. Consequentialism can be just one tool in your moral toolbelt, perhaps one suited to reasoning about large-scale societal benevolence. So use a version of it that doesn't require rights violations or neglecting your loved ones, or something like that. And you're right that EA doesn't require utilitarianism, or even consequentialism. It just requires some amount of concern for effective and impartial benevolence. I call myself a consequentialist as opposed to a utilitarian because I feel that label better respects the existence of valuable things besides happiness/the absence of suffering. We can try to maximize the presence of many values, giving them all representation, through the consequences of our actions. Though I don't disregard other ways of thinking about value, I think this more robust sense of consequentialism covers more bases than any other ethical theory. The most important part of ethics that it captures is this: torturing two people really is worse than just torturing one. Genocide really is millions of times worse than a single murder. Consequentialism deeply respects the numerical aspect of value. I imagine that if you give it a good think, you'll see where I'm coming from and feel less repulsed by it :) So I thank you for your thoughtful comment, and apologize for this lengthy one.
@@FlaminPigz7 I love this!! I was also struggling a fair bit to understand much of the discussion but your comment has helped me consolidate my own thoughts and conclusion. :))
@@FlaminPigz7 1) I find myself in vague disagreement (who's to say it wold be less beautiful? what individual and structural biases might be inherent in that judgment?), but I'm not privy to any phi discourse on this. All I'll say is that as topics become less quantifiable, shouldn't we be emphasizing the fact that they also become less applicable to consequentialist reasoning, rather than pointing out that they're potentially still technically quantifiable, therefor seemingly equally applicable? 2) This feels goalpost-shifty. The whole point of the critique, as far as I understand it, is to point out that EA can't just shift the utility function and come out on top. perhaps it's my lack of sleep, but I don't see how your point here responds to the critique. it's not one of consequentialism done badly but of consequentialism itself (I think)
At the moment, I am thinking of donating all my surplus money to animal welfare charities bc of EA.
Thanks for sharing this video & showing the kind of scholars Western Academia prefers to represent 'others'. You know why book "Shared Devotion, Shared Food Equality and the Bhakti-Caste Question in Western India" came from Western scholar Jon Keune & not from Anantanand Rambachan because this is what Hindu scholars do since It is easy to maintain position in the name of dialogue than to even producing something which challenges the dominant positions in a system.
Exactly
Anarchism portends the promise of the absence of authority/order...it is intent on creating mayhem against those epistemological and metaphorical foundations that have so violently scripted Black people and communities as a people without history, without knowledge, and without dream. - HLT Quan This was a great discussion.
